Come on Manu, GI threw him off like he wasnt there. Spotted him out of the corner of his eye and adjusted brilliantly. You never see SBW get brushed like that when he has a shot on.
Sonny lost the battle but won the war though, good game by him.
He certainly adjusted brilliantly, Inglis' ability to change direction quickly and shift his momentum like that is part of what makes him so uncannily difficult to tackle, on top of the size and speed and fend and all of that. However "threw him off like he wasn't there" suggests he dramatically overpowered him in a test of strength ala a WWF title match between Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior. Really he left SBW grasping by stopping and going sideways/backwards a bit. People over-dramatise shit, and I can understand why when it's an Inglis-SBW direct contest.
Kudos Inglis for using his skills to flummox SBW on this occasion, however I am not prepared to pay out on "Inglis is the better man and def benches more and has a bigger wang cos this happened" just yet.
The real issue is after Inglis's momentum was basically halted and he was well behind the advantage line, he surged through 3 other Roosters defenders who may as well have not been there. In general circumstances that sort of missed tackle, where you stop the deep runner behind the advantage line and force him back in field, shouldn't lead to much.
Hate to have to break down a single missed tackle like that, but I am after all responding to Mr Angry claiming that Inglis proved himself to be the player of his generation in that one moment :lol:
