We are going to belt him and after that who else do they have in the middle? It's all well and good to have a flashy fullback but he won't be in field position to do much.
That largely depends on the referees' attitude and our discipline.
During our horror run, we constantly gave away 4th tackle penalties 30-40 metres out that let our opposition get into good field position. We had poor discipline and refs were only too happy to blow the penalties against us.
That completely nullifies Pantherball of field position but also keeping the ball in play and building fatigue in the opposition.
What worries me a little was last night's game. Ash Klein was quite whistle happy and I am hoping this was not from a general NRL directive. I am relieved that we don't get him this week.
