What I'll think you'll find is during the 2001 season and previous to that few line breaks were made against our defence - 2002 and 2003 when our defensive patterns declined left a lot more gaps for breaks to be made. This highlighted Hodgies problems in defence.
Very few fullbacks or wingers for that matter in todays game are great defenders 1 on 1 - Schifcofske is one of the more accomplished defensively however most fullbacks - Wesser, Slater, Minichiello, Bowen, Hodgson, Burt, Webb, Watts...... are at a disadvantage defensively in 1 on 1 situations.
If your fullback is missing a lot of one on one tackles from breaks then you need to look long and hard at your defensive strategy.....
