I dunno if it was just me but it looked like the titans players were playing for the crusher tackle penalty

There was about 3 or 4 and every single one of them the tits player ran ass first into the defensive line and sat down during the tackle

There are quite a few forwards that do this, but I don't think it is to play for a crusher tackle.

Turning around and going backwards in contact does a couple of things:
  • Allows a player to position better for leg drive to get more post-contact metres.
  • Opens up for an offload opportunity. They're able to see the support better, and are more likely to be able to get the arm free.
The drawback is that it usually results in a slower play the ball.

Definitely seen it creep into the game for a few years now. Woodsy did it with us and it resulted in a few explicits every now and then

After the 3rd time with the titans it just seemed suss though.
