    Fucking stupid from Ofa

    Well-reffed, I though. Not much else Ofa could do there.

    He's not in control, reckless and lucky.

    If the player stays upright, it is just a good tackle. It depends whether you think Ofa has time to change.

    No he doesn't, because he's not in control. He didn't give himself time to change, that's exactly it.

    What time is he supposed to give himself when in the space of one step the attacker dives to ground?

    Come on man, it's really simple. This day and age, you can't fly in uncontrolled hoping you get lucky with the hit. I don't have a problem with the outcome in this instance, but Ofa left himself no out if that went wrong.

    "uncontrolled"? You are delusional if you think players can adapt within that timeframe other than by making completely passive tackles.

      @KiwiMurph very poor option taking, taking the ball flat footed too

      Not even looking like taking on the line. Stifles the attack.

        The Blues are doing lots of good things, but aren't finishing them off.

            I find supporters way overestimate the ability of players to make decision about whether to pull-out from watching on TV.

            He didn't give himself any option regardless of what the ball carrier did. This is the issue, you can't do that anymore.

            @Bones and that there is a big problem.

            I note those lambasting Ofa didn't mention the tah tackle on Darry earlier when he was upright and drove upwards into his chin and didn't even get a second look by officials.

                @KiwiMurph totally agree regarding BB ,would rather see Sullivan starting at 10 ,looks far more assured
                BB is a liability

                              Adapt within the timeframe he gave himself when he went flying in? So if he can't adapt when he goes flying in out of control, the option might be to not go flying in our of control. Or hey keep doing it until it goes wrong.

                                Sullivan is probably better than both Perofeta and Barrett - both of which have done jack-shit this year.

                                  Love Zarn Sullivan.

                                  One of those guys who can make things happen, while making it look very easy.

                                  Get him in Black.

                                        No he doesn't, because he's not in control. He didn't give himself time to change, that's exactly it.

                                        What time is he supposed to give himself when in the space of one step the attacker dives to ground?

                                        Come on man, it's really simple. This day and age, you can't fly in uncontrolled hoping you get lucky with the hit. I don't have a problem with the outcome in this instance, but Ofa left himself no out if that went wrong.

                                        "uncontrolled"? You are delusional if you think players can adapt within that timeframe other than by making completely passive tackles.

                                        Adapt within the timeframe he gave himself when he went flying in? So if he can't adapt when he goes flying in out of control, the option might be to not go flying in our of control. Or hey keep doing it until it goes wrong.

                                        Fucking stupid from Ofa

                                        Well-reffed, I though. Not much else Ofa could do there.

                                        He's not in control, reckless and lucky.

                                        If the player stays upright, it is just a good tackle. It depends whether you think Ofa has time to change.

                                        So you're arguing for players to defend on their heels giving themselves all possible time to "adapt". Thanks for the soccer mum input.

                                          Sullivan looking more like a player who’s been around for a decade as opposed to the fella who is a former international Rugby player of the year
