I have heard that clubs will go to extraordinary lengths to obtain an advantage over the the others on just about anything. The latest is what the Bulldogs did in attempt to improve their tackling this year.
They sought the assistance/expertise from one of our top Grecko Roman Wrestlers to take a number of sessions on tackling. I don't know whether it worked (someone will have some stats) but I found it a little amusing when I was told !!

Agreed that we need a rugby specialist coach and a few of the Storm boys down.. I'm thinking Cameron Smith, Ryan Hoffman, Dallas Johnson and Jamie Aubusson. Also, Gilbo, Bakes, Lenny & Goose can all pass on some tips to blokes that rarely make a tackle stick (i.e. R Clarke, Fizz, Milne, Gram etc.)
The Saints are coming!
