47 Missed tackles

[The '47ers]

A season high by any team this season! Could be reason for concern as there have been a few floggings, but maybe it was just in the context of the game as one of those games.

Missed tackles can be read as anything from a small touch to getting run over, don't read much into this form of statistic, be more interests in the points scored against us.

Negative Nancy!! Enjoy another great win 3 in a row!

Your lucky number!

 

[The '47ers]

Your lucky number!

Also about as many as I'd miss a game, back in the day

No need for concern, remember we've only conceded 20 points in three weeks... Also we've scored 84 points in the same amount of time!!!

 

[HoldenV8]

47 missed tackles (48 according to NRL.com) but only 4 line breaks from the Chooks.

They missed 33 tackles and we made 7 line breaks.

You should change your user name to the zero'ers and Manly wouldn't miss any!!! 🙂

around half of the 47 would have been the 3rd player dropping off to ensure the defensive line was set for the next play imo. I noticed it last night a few times, Kelly and Api were a couple of notables, they hit hard, stopped momentum but bounced off and straight back to the line rather that trying to finish the tackle.

Looked like a tactic but maybe i am reading too much into it.

As others have said our defence is not a problem right now

I also think most of those would have been the second 20 minutes in the first half where the Roosters were powering it up the middle and I started to get worried...we tightened everything up in the second half and the Roosters played most of the game down own end.

Absolutely Fluffy - saw that as well.

At least 8 of those were from Marty. Solid first contact dropping the player down onto their knees or stomach, and another bloke or two do the rest while he sets back in to the line.

Clearly the game plan, and from a coach who apparently can't coach!
