Tackling school !!

Post by Mark W »

Has anyone noticed that Dave Allen just cannot tackle, he is a liablilty

So many penalties and even worse he even took Tickle out against Salford

Other candidates would be Vaealiki & Seu Seu

What does Farrar actually do as defensive coach?

I have questioned his technique a few times, he seems to go high a lot, it seems as though he is scared of going around the legs.

I agree about Vaealiki too, stands too far from the player and moves the way of an anticipated pass leaving a gap. He'd be better just making the tackle and keeping it simple.

We've had the same problem with a lot of our lads this season, not so much now as at the beginning. We hold off, hardly ever make the tackles and as mentioned there are too many gaps in our defensive 'line' So frustrating to watch!

an example of wild wasting the ball would be against bradford at odsal when he offloaded to erm i think if my eyes weren;t telling lies.... a bradford player. this was done more than once.

Did you see Vaealiki's pass last week? When he decided to hold the ball like Ainscough then throw it out aimlessly to no-one. Makes Wildy's panic pass at Odsal look good!
