Our tackling is non existent.

We are rated 16th in the competition for tackles laid BEFORE the crows game and after seeing this match in the flesh I can understand why. We hardly laid a hand on them all night. The ease with which they delivered the ball to their forwards was laughable. I dont blame our defence at all with the way supply was coming in.

Our intensity and pressure on the opposition has disintegrated from the first 9 weeks.

That's what happens when you have players like Chaffey as a tagger. He could tackle Goodwin and Goodwin would still be able to run 50m and kick a goal with Chaffey going for a piggy back ride lol

As I have said before and will say again, and this goes for a few other sides as well. The tackling seems to have really gone pussy.

What the Tigers need is to use the Rugby league side accross the road and get them over for some tackling sessions. How to hit and pin and put a player down instead of these one handed 1/2 ars grab attempts which get consistently shrugged off.
