Yeah no shyte....
We've never been a clean team...new rules have exposed our surplus of unskilled players......having said that if I had to single out just one issue above all others that's cost us this year....it's the absolutely embarrassingly peeweak tackling, really is that simple imo...improve on that and we at least win the close ones we've lost and we'd be safely ensconced in the eight.... :shh
:shh :shh

True Dio, and ain't it frustrating when you've been the hardest tackling team for 4 years straight.
It was always something that made me lose my sh*t in the earlier 2000's and it's half the reason I actually liked guys like Tuck, Jackson and King - at least they could stick a effing tackle.

Remember 2015-2016 we’re a low tackling team?

Parker and Baker probably our best tacklers but otherwise we have tackled like wet paper bags.
