Has anyone else noticed our tackling numbers lately? I think we had something like 51 on the weekend, and the commentators mentioned it was pretty low against Sydney too.
Early in the season it felt like our pressure and tackling were solid, though maybe they weren’t? Either way, I’m not so sure now. I don’t usually dive too deep into stats, but higher tackle numbers generally feel like a good sign of effort and when they’re low, it feels like the intensity isn’t where it should be. Obviously, stats don’t tell the full story, but still.
So, do you reckon our tackling and overall pressure has dropped off in the last few weeks? I know we've had some big wins, which can make it harder to gauge, but the Sydney game felt like we were just cruising, and against Adelaide the missed tackles really stood out to me.
FYI. We are currently ranked 16th overall, 17th is Brisbane who are flying so there you go?
Curious what others think.
