Tigers look to stop Penrith offloads

[Juro]

It seemed to me that many of their offloads came at the tail end of the game, when they were getting desperate. Despite the lopsided possession, we did well to contain them defensively. Scrambling defence certainly worked well.

Man for man the Panthers are a much bigger side than us. Bigger, stronger and with longer arms. Makes it much easier for them to offload and harder for us to contain them. We can't always stop them from offloading, but we can maintain a structure which means the player receiving the ball has nowhere to go…

We are probably the smallest side in the NRL. Sometimes size does matter.
