Title: Tackling vital to finals footy

Something for the RFC to remember given we again this year had the lowest number of tackles in the comp.

... the most significant story to come out of the first week of the finals was the influence that relentless tackling has on the opposition, Garry Lyon writes.

A little birdy told me that tackling will be a major focus over the preseason. We'll see next year if it pays off. The number of tackles we average per game is pathetic. Good sides tackle about 60 times each week and we struggle to just over half of that number.
