he was on SEN this morning, the three stooges interviewing him just sucked up to him without asking the hard questions (surprise, surprise).
My issue with him is that I believe he is meant to be a strenght and conditioning coach - I simply don't think that we are strong enough - obviously the young ones need time but some older players just can't tackle - I put this down to lack of strength - not technique deficiencies.

Could be strength through angles of the shoulder, elbow and wrists joints yes.

Could also be agility in the legs, not being able to launch the tackle from a decent angle in regards to the ball carrier.

I mean I've seen Waite manage to lose a fair few tackles because he's been shuffled sideways and can't get a real grip, but other times I've seen him absolutely cream someone.

It's probably different in each circumstance. That's what I'm talking about with sports scientists and analysts, break it down biomechanically about what's going on, inform the strength and conditioning coach if it's a regular issue and discuss as a group ways of improving upon this.

ie. Sports scientist says "Jarrad seems to have an issue with lining himself up for the tackle. I'll get him into a few simulation exercises that help develop his understanding of what to do in the situation. What have you got?" *Motions to the fitness coach*

Fitness coach: "Well we can look at ways of increasing Jarrad's agililty through the hips, knees and ankles through strengthening exercises along the angle of movement for the joints as well as some drills to develop a technique you can worth with in those simulation exercises."

Back and forth communication.

It's tackling jim, not constructing a cybernetic organism from scratch.
