Official Round 2 - Dogs vs Eels - Consolidated Match Thread

[dogwhisperer]

Just re-watched that footage and if it’s the dummy half run at 10-6 when Gutherson scores that your talking about, that is 1 million percent Sue’s fault, he rushes up and creates the hole.

Again we'll agree to disagree on this.
As far as I'm concerned Sue didn't help the situation but he was in line with whoever was to be parra's first receiver for a front on tackle.
Although he could of held back and moved laterally to the right to make the tackle it wasn't his reponsiblity. Your inside men HAVE to close the GATE behind the ruck.

Main fault - the two markers, JMK was one of them. One marker should go right and the other marker needs to go left to prevent dummy half runs(first line of defence), this is taught at junior level.

Secondary fault CHN - Every player in league always gets taught to never run back on side with your back turned especially in the middle. If he didn't have his back turned he would of made the tackle easily.

How many times do you see middle defensive forwards get penalised for making a tackle when they are off side after a quick play the ball(heaps of times). Reason being because they are runnning back facing the attacking side, even though they are off side they still make the tackle to prevent a line break and potential try. If they were running back onside with their back turned it's shut the gates.
