Toast 83 tackles!

[blackshadow]

Finally we tackled our guts out and it reaped a huge reward yesterday. Our tackling pressure got Port making mistakes and coughing the ball up, it was a huge factor in our win and I hope we can keep this sustained pressure up against all teams this year. It will go a long way to winning us games.

We had 51 tackles to half time, I can't remember the last time we would have laid 50 tackles in a half.

Job well done boys.

Yep. Great stat. Great effort.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

It was brilliant. They were not just tackling, but doing it so ferociously the ball was constantly being knocked free.

 

[Kimbo]

Can we do Rd 1 over?

Adams with 9 tackles! His attack on the ball was wonderful yesterday. Imagine when he is 100% match fit.

Yeah significant improvement in this area this year (other than round 1).

I saw Atley, Gibson and Mckenzie lay some hard tackles yesterday and last week.

It's almost as if they were playing a contact sport!

Unfortunately for Patch he keeps getting injured.Probably due to the way he plays,flat out

Outstanding display, did not give them any room inside at all, Adams deserves a lot of credit, looks to be winding the clock back a bit. Do this against Sydney and we are half a chance.

 

[Tas]

Big improvement in the tackling already.

Round 1 vs Round 3.

Daylight.

Once the most prolific tackler is back in, our numbers will be through the roof.

Interesting how many of our best tacklers are missing - JZ, Spitta, and Harper, Garner, Tarrant, and Maj go alright on the tackling front.

This week we'll need at least 83 versus The Swanettes.

Between a rock and a hard place

 

[shintemaster]

9 for Adams - wow. I assume LT had the other 70 odd?

thats the difference to previous years they not only stick the tackle they nail em the past two week while not pretty have been epic for the hard stuff

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Adams with 9, McDonald with 8, Greenwood/Cunners with 7 each.

Absolute hard nuts.

He was frickin' awesome. Was in everything. Not a bad birthday present.

 

[Benno_900]

Does anybody remember the entire board calling for Patch's head this time last season?

Reminder of how good this bloke is.

I need to revisit Dwayne Russell's commentary of this stat.

I think it went: "That's a world record. For a Brad Scott coached team. In dry conditions".

WTF?

WTF sums up Derwayne perfectly.

this should be the benchmark now.

we need to slow down the game.and match our contested style.

Loved the harder edge to the side and getting angry in the tackle.

LT is just a maniac in his attack in the tackle

 

[Event Horizon]

If we can marry up this sort of defensive intensity with the flair and outside run of last year, that will equal top 4.
