For the life of me i just dont understand how we cant address these 2 basic principals of football.
Is it not drilled into them?
Week after week after week i see incidents where 2 tigers players and 1 opposition run for the ball, and the "other tiger player just stands close by yelling for the ball, without putting pressure on the opposition.
Its basic football yet we cant master it.
They dont want to block, they dont want to tackle because they are lazy and dont care. What other explanation can you find.
I dont buy that we are young because these are very simple things that you should do if your playing at this grade.
Jackson through his faults does it on a weekly basis, King, Newy also.
Players like Connors, Graham, Edwards, Lids dont do it. Downhill skiers the lot of them. Lids is our version of Nick dal santo.
Goes great when things are good but doesnt get his hands dirty when required.
