Two brilliant MOM performance s both in attack and defence.

Regardless of the opposition (luppy issue), I'd love to know the last trinity player to pull off a tackle like that.


Can't remember against who, but I remember a young Tom Johnstone coming from nowhere to nail someone a few yards out at the Southern end of the ground.

Think it was against Wigan, Alex Walker was once again nowhere to be seen when they broke and Johnstone just appeared miraculously to stop the player.

The best one I remember is Lewis Murphy v Warrington at BV 3/4 years ago, Warrington winger flying down the touch line looks certain to score, Murphy dives from behind grabs the ankle and keeps hold, Warrington man goes down and loses the ball. Trinity win the game.

Not quite the distance but a good call, they are rare.

Just watched the try saving tackle back, it was Jowitt who got stepped in the first place to start the break, what a way to make up for the error though.

Both the breaks stopped by Jowitt were from a missed tackle grab and a dropped pass on the break. I noticed this on game day. Regardless they were two good efforts.

Re: Max : Tue Aug 13, 2024 3:27 pm  
Full Back is the hardest position on the field defensively!
You are often exposed 1 v 1 with space either side of you for the attacking player to exploit
You are often caught covering across the field at full pace which leaves you vulnerable to being stepped back on the inside
You are often faced with a 2 v 1 putting you in a no win situation unless the ball carrier makes an error
You are often tasked with making an aggressive tackle on a bigger opponent right on your line with not 1 inch to spare behind you
These situations mainly arise due to someone in front of you has made an error, missed a tackle or the defensive line got stripped for numbers by a slick attack
Even then it’s too often seen as your fault if a try gets scored!
It can be a thankless task that mentally wears you down and erodes your confidence.
I tip my hat to those who play that position well
