This tactic has been employed recently against us and its nullifying his impact around the stoppages. The last three games we have seen Lyon do it, Longmire do it and it happened again last night. Its a major factor as to why we are getting smacked around at the clearances.
Why hasn't Simpson done anything about stopping the oppositions designated 3rd man and why on earth do they try and get Nic to play as a rover when Lycett or Cox is rucking rather than going 3rd man up himself?
Getting Nic to go 3rd man up will cause all sorts of havoc in our forward 50 IMO. A regular player couldn't stop him in the air and if they try blocking him he should get a free kick.
Anyone else noticing this cos I swear the coaches have done bugger all about it and its killing me!!!
