Missed tackles

[WestsSupporter]

The leading missed tackling props for the NRL so far are Matt Groat (17) and Adam Blair (16). Only Reynolds (22), Maloney (21) and Thurston (18) have more overall. Ayshford ties with Groat on 17\. Just thought I'd throw a random stat out there.

Blair needs to start earning his keep. It's not good enough. He's better than that

A couple more worrying stats I've noticed:
Benji has made the most errors of the competition so far (11).
Woods has conceded the most penalties (6).

Woods has taken over the role played by Gibbs: If the opposing team get a roll on and look like scoring then give away a stupid penalty on the second tackle.

Gibbs' penalties were for the most part tactical, Woods generally are immaturity

 

[Joel Helmes]

Woods has to cut out the penalties, not helping the situation at all!

We have terrible technique and not enough commitment when tackling. There needs to be more leg drive, shoulder (less arm-grabbing), commitment to go to the ground to make the tackle effective. Tacklers often work against each other rather than driving the ball carrier in the same direction. It all adds up to missed tackles, off-loads and lack of dominance in the ruck.

Watch the other top teams, they work together much better and actually look like they are well trained in how to tackle as an individual and how to hunt like a team in this area.

It's the wests tigers we are talking about, we always misses tackles and our kicking game has never been great. But like all other teams we play to our strengths.

We are at our best when our scramble defense is good, and to make up for our kicking game we run the ball on the last more than any other team. We probably have the fittest second back row in the game.
