anyone know what is up with our wrestle? We seem to have good impact in defence but opposition ruck speed is incredible when they vs us.

Anyone have stats on ruck speeds vs opponents in our game? I honestly feel like other teams get a massive roll on and that’s because we’re not slowing things down. It also annoys me that they seem to always put us on our backs.

Our wrestle can't be that bad if we are the third fastest at playing the ball in the comp. someone threw up the stats the other day in another post.

Our wrestle was great in 2012, we were partly the reason why the rules got changed.

I put part of it down to the refereeing sometimes. Watch our games closely and when we defend you can hear the refs as soon as we tackle yell release. The second we lay in there too long we get pinned. Opposition teams on the other hand can hold us down as long as they please.

were not coached to do im guessing... when you consistently see Klemmer stand and watched his 2 struggling team mates in a tackle week in week out... this combined with our shit kicking game is while we are always under the pump

This is where a ref can actually shift the momentum away from the team they dislike - it is hard to measure that they are doing it, but is compounds into a big advantage.

If the whole team fought as hard as JMK does to get the ball carrier onto their backs we would be in better shape. Still coming to grips with the way Souths rolled through us in closing stages of Good Friday loss.
