    I can’t find the motivation. What else stood out on second viewing?
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Tackling is a funny one. I think we did great pressuring to get to the point of tackling but our actual tackles were very poor. Really missed out on a few opportunities when it was inside 50. I think it was less about effort and more about skill execution.

    Yeah, didn't seem committed to stay the course in the tackle and kill it.

    The tackling really bugged me all day. They ALWAYS got a handball out in the direction of a team mate. We could not effectively hold them up.

    Our tackling is laughable, and for every tackle we stick, we can’t hold another 5. Very few of our players tackle by grabbing an arm. It’s all around the waist, allowing the opposition to handball away. It’s frustrating to watch. And it’s been like this for many years. We seriously need a tackling coach, one that brings borderline aggression.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    We missed Toby McLean at the end of the year. His tackling technique has improved out of sight.

    Works both ways that one. Our tackling was just absolutely pathetic.

    A mongrelly non-preferred snap under pressure....rather than Wallis straight in front from 20....it was low percentage at best.

    So English is our #1 ruck and at best we’ll get support... but it prevents the Dunkley/Bruce rucking rather than much else.

    Also, Bevo said something about our fwd line being a man down every week. He said it twice. What was he on about there?
    Yes, that is definitely what he meant. I'm not sure how anyone could hear any different.

    People are feeling the burn pretty hard. Many haven't watched the presser with a clear head from what's been said around here.

    And that's actually fair enough.

    It might be frowned upon these days, but I remember EJ talking about tackling to hurt. He said, and I am paraphrasing here, something along the lines of I hate to see a player tackle someone without throwing him to the ground. Player x did it to player Y quite legally in some final, and he broke his collar bone. I wonder how Ted would view the dangerous tackle rules these days.
