Hiring wrestling coaches? Isn't that what happened in the NRL the last few years?

Yes, well. We don't exactly have a reputation for that, which is probably why we haven't yet used it. We have had all season to at least try and sort out our kicking deficiencies, which are many, but we don't seem to have made any progress at all. Except Longy's kick to Gardner on Friday was fab and I wish they'd all be able to kick like that!

If you look here [urlhttp://viewtopic.php?t=426822[/url you'll find we are discussing the exact same thing.



Since Tim Smith got injured our kicking game has been really poor.

Wrestlign is part N parcel of the rugby training these days though isnt it, swear it started back in 1996 were wrestle coaches would come in and show the club how to do it. Ballet lessons were tried to, but not sure we still do those anymore.

Need to get a better coach for it then! Its hardly surprising Hudds are the best at it when their coach has come over from a league where it was the norm.

I agree, get Brock Lesner over from UFC to teach some moves on our kids.. Get O'Loughlin in a choke, drop him & watch him tap out!! BOOM.. WHAMO.. love a bit of UFC. Maybe we could sign Kimbo Slice at Prop





Were too nice in the tackle, usually 1 or 2 players at the most & I've seen us help other players up!! Were too soft.. Lets wrestle aaaagggghhhh

Yeh that's right, he said he hasn't got bloomin' clue what to do and would I pop on here and see if Syd's got any pearls.





Seriously though.... I think the kick to corner is right. However, what about the offload? After drawing in three or four defenders wouldn't a well timed offload find gaps in the line?

I think that you're blinkered. All teams do it. Three or four in the tackle when they can, and then peel off one at a time.



The way to stop it. Instruct the referree to allow say a maximum of five seconds from the tackle being completed to the ruck being cleared.

Really, seriously, were too nice (except KC)

3 or 4 in a tackle... never seen it la

It would in theory

But that's just not going to happen though is it? If all teams fully adopt this as the natural form of play then Super League is going to be boring as hell.



Anyway Saints are better than than that. We don't follow, we lead.

Fed up of seeing TP and Pryce get nailed yet have the ball available, and no saitns player there to take advantage. Shaun Edwards would have a field day... Danny Mc Guire to actualy.



Kick to the wings. Off loads in gang tackles and the back up being there. Thats two Potter now has. Maybe the attacking player milks the penalty a bit more, sneakily holds down a defender on top of him whihc leads to the other defenders being slow to get off, PENALTY !
