Yeah GCR, I just hope we play fit, because that has been missing early on for a number of seasons.

It surprises me that when they show some of the tackling drills especially the ones they show in slo mo how many players hit in defence with the wrong shoulder/leg combination.greeneyed wrote: ↑February 1, 2019, 3:06 pm Training Gallery: Pre-Season Week 12: https://www.raiders.com.au/news/2019/02 ... n-week-12/

it's competition wide too, big athletes able to compensate technique with raw strengthKeghead wrote:It surprises me that when they show some of the tackling drills especially the ones they show in slo mo how many players hit in defence with the wrong shoulder/leg combination.greeneyed wrote: ↑February 1, 2019, 3:06 pm Training Gallery: Pre-Season Week 12: https://www.raiders.com.au/news/2019/02 ... n-week-12/

You can clearly see not only in this video but in others too that some players hit with their right shoulder but brace with their left or visa versa.
Its only a little thing but its the little things that count.
There is a clip on the NRL site (5 key match ups for 2019 ) where you see Havilli (spelling) come in for a hit on the players left but leads with his right shoulder and puts his head in a totally dangerous position.
Yeah I’m not saying it doesn’t work but and that one came off for josh I guess but you would just think that at that level you would have developed the correct technique and if you hadn’t that it would be looked at and maybe improved upon.As I said it is only a little thing but it’s those areas where you could possibly gain a slight advantage.And yes it’s across the board hence another reason you might look to gain advantage.BadnMean wrote:Just saying'...
What was wrong with the technique?

Just when you hit with your left shoulder (which is usually the weakest ) you should brace with your left leg and right with right which will keep your body more square and allow you to put more oomph into the hit.

You're right though- the only reason I raised it as an example is I remember the monster hit but he was interviewed about it afterward as inKeghead wrote: ↑February 3, 2019, 5:26 pmYeah I’m not saying it doesn’t work but and that one came off for josh I guess but you would just think that at that level you would have developed the correct technique and if you hadn’t that it would be looked at and maybe improved upon.As I said it is only a little thing but it’s those areas where you could possibly gain a slight advantage.And yes it’s across the board hence another reason you might look to gain advantage.BadnMean wrote:Just saying'...

I watched a game last night from 2017 I think it was round 4 where Raiders played Tigers at home and its a classic example of what not to do.

Sauaso Sue came in to put a hit on Jack with his head to the wrong side and totally upright copped the shoulder of the attacker and bang straight off HIA.
Then Sue came back on in the second half and within the first 2 minutes did the exact same thing on the Coal Train then gone for the game.
They all can tackle to a certain degree but the effectiveness of the tackle and the stopping power you develop all comes down to technique and its some thing that should be worked on.
Nothing wrong with coming up with excuses to view nice hits and change that H to a T........and that's OK too.
Thats the crux of it all, do all you can to gain any tiny advantage within your own team and let the rest take care of itself.mamando wrote: ↑February 4, 2019, 11:13 amYou make a couple of decent points here Keghead.Keghead wrote: ↑February 4, 2019, 6:56 amI watched a game last night from 2017 I think it was round 4 where Raiders played Tigers at home and its a classic example of what not to do.

The first is something general - this club has to be looking to win on the margins. We can bang on all we like about unfair advantages/not a level playing field etc in the NRL as a whole, but the only productive thing to do is gain an edge in other aspects in our control. That’s the constructive thing to do.
More specifically, about the tackling techniques - in this current age of HIA creating numerical disadvantages, surely it’s worth refining techniques where we can to avoid dropping to 16 or 15 players in matches?? Very small thing, but perhaps it comes in handy when we most need it? (Must-win game, elimination final etc)
