| Post subject: | Tight Fitting Jumpers |
Disclaimer - This is not about DUC oogling the players but a legitimate question. This has been something I have been thinking about for a while. Some teams have really tight fitting jumpers that I believe make it very hard to tackle players. A team in particular is the Lions, with some of their players looking like their jumpers have been sprayed on. If our players adopted a more tight fitting guernsey, we would be a lot hard to tackle IMHO, that it is worth investigating further. Thoughts? |

I still see Lance and Stevens get tackled a lot in their tight fitting jumpers.. No i dont think it has anything to do with it. off topic but. NRL switch to silk - made no difference. If your good your good. If you just throw your arm out all the time well you always MISS.. Id be appalled to know our guys are just grabbing the jumper to tackle. |

Alot of players get tackled by the jumper but if our jumpers were nice and tightly fitted, would this still happen? |

It's been tried in other sports i think mostly rugby and i think there is a small advantage |

It is if it becomes the difference from Murphy breaking a tackle to kick the winning goal in the dying seconds to put us into the finals. |

Norwood wore lycra guernseys at one stage during the 90's. Can't find a pic though. |

Those of you that play or played the game would know that a tight jumper is harder to tackle . |

Sorry I still dont agree with it.. If you can tackle this is irrelevant. watch gibbs, he tackles the ball and all. |

Not right outer81 . every one slips a tackle now and then , even Gibbs . If the jumper is loose it's a hell of a lot easier to hold on . |

Judd said on the Couch tonight that they're hanging onto the arm now, not the jumper, cause its harder for the ump's to see whois holdingwho. |

I remember Tommy Alvin got tackled by the end of his hair at the SCG once. No free kick was paid, because the hair went past the shoulder, hence not a high tackle. |

Thank you. This is what I was alluding too... no dis respect to the original topic DUC, it was a good one. With some of juddy's tackles, he intially goes for the players wrist. Or there abouts effectively causing a more favourable fumble for himself. And of course the logic behind it is skin on skin is easy to mistake who is holding who so the already blind ump would be more inclined to let it go. Its easier to manipulate a fast players hands then to smash him into the ground for him ONLY to get ahand ball off to a team mate anyway. Wheres your on your feet and an option rather a past play. providing this is keep to rucking contests and your quick like Judd it works. Also have noticed some players this year are abandoning the smashing type of tackle in favour of them getting a fist to the ball instead trying to knock the ball out before they try to handpass away in the tackle. |
