I said in the first 20mins . Theres no way to gauge that . And I listened to the podcast with the ex tigers coach , and he said the same thing .Tigers PTB speed was a fair bit faster than Warriors according to the Fox stats...
This is where playing the game comes in handy . You’re always taught once the player is on the ground to get them on their back and try and turn them as much as possible not square to the tryline . So when they do finally get up they have to not just climb up off their back , but not re reference themselves to the tryline . You can sort of do it in the tackle , but they were coming in and doing it 3rd man in when the tackle was almost complete . Every tackle .
it absolutely gassed the boys . And if it was both teams I’d be ok with it . But it wasn’t . All game there was no consistency with how he was managing the game (the ref) . I’ve got no issues if that was his interpretation from min 1 -80. It’s up to the players to adjust . But that’s not what happened last night.
