Missed tackles

[Deleted member 10972]

Ashton Sims made 17 tackles today, but missed 16!

Is that a record? Jeez that is poor.

I think the record was Ashley Alberts for Manly missing ten against the Knights in 2005, so it could pretty well be the new record.

 

[8Ball]

Didn't Watmough miss 12 in last year's grand final?

Yes, it's a record but the Bulldogs @ Broncos stats haven't been updated yet. So it could change.

Most Missed Tackles in a Match
Anthony Watmough [Sea Eagles] 15 v Storm at ANZ Stadium Grand Final, 2007
Ashley Alberts [Sea Eagles] 15 v Broncos at Brookvale Oval Round 22, 2005
Ben Farrar [Cowboys] 13 v Warriors at Dairy Farmers Stadium Round 17, 2007
Chase Stanley [Dragons] 13 v Storm at Olympic Park Round 15, 2007
Brett Kimmorley [Sharks] 13 v Rabbitohs at Toyota Stadium Round 4, 2006

Watmough was diabolical in the GF last year, no doubt it's a reason he hasn't played rep footy this year, well and the fact he was injured but yeh.

"Ashley Alberts [Sea Eagles] 15 v Broncos at Brookvale Oval Round 22, 2005"

Ashley Alberts [Sea Eagles] 15 v Broncos at Brookvale Oval Round 22, 2005

Yet Witty was out of the team at the time for shoddy defence....

 

[Billigan]

thats terrible. but he made it up on that big shot on kite.

 

[WarriorsRock]

That was mostly Dave Taylor who smashed Kite wasn't it?

 

[Chook Norris]

the most missed tackles i can recall is Lockyer in Origin

17 he missed... last year or the year before

 

[NZ Warrior]

Jerome Ropati from the Warriors sucks too.

 

[Corusant]

Kimmorley missed quite a few in the sharks disgraceful effort against Manly.

Watmough was diabolical in the GF last year, no doubt it's a reason he hasn't played rep footy this year, well and the fact he was injured but yeh.

And the fact that he apparently did some things while in camp last time he represented NSW that were unfavourable and tagged as "never to play for NSW again".

thats terrible. but he made it up on that big shot on kite.

If one big hit makes up for 16 missed tackles then it's a good thing you're not a coach or selector. Shocking stat. I rate Watmough's effort a lot worst though it was the biggest game of the year and he was the form second rower of the competition last season.

 

[Twigg]

Fmd Sims is useless. Him and Clinton need to go.

Bennett - teach these idiots to learn how to tackle.

 

[Goldthorpe]

Ashton Sims only missed 2 tackles against the Bulldogs - That stats have updated.

 

[Hanscholo]

If your looking at the NRL.com stats and it looks wrong chances are that it is. Until its updated the stats are worthless, virtually every one of them changes dramatically.
