MONDAYS COACHING QUOTE

"..in our game a lock-up tackle is considered good technique. That
has become the basic tackle. There is a fair bit of technique
required to be able to lock the ball up effectively, so I can understand
junior coaches wanting to be able to practise that....
...."

Chris Anderson from his Coach Talk article in RLCM Book 26

RLCM COMMENT- Northern and Southern hemisphere RL is completely different.

By Gary Roberts http://www.rlcm.com.au/book16.htm

New Zealand 30 defeated Great Britain 16

The reason why great Britain lost the game could be explained in detail,
but really it was the result that most followers of the
game expected.

The Great Britain team was similar to the side that was thrashed by
Australia in July and only staunch Great Britain supporters would have
expected that Great Britain team to upset the Kiwis.

The game of Rugby League that is played in the northern and southern
hemispheres are completely different.

The northern game is a TV product with attack as the main ingredient and
with little nuance on defence. [Explained by Des Foy 1, Des Foy 2 and
Darryn Reeds in RLCM Newsletters correspondence last week]

The southern hemisphere game is about 80 minutes of aggression and defence.

So, whenever Tests are played involving northern hemisphere teams,
aggressive and a planned defence will always win on the day, as it will
limit the ability of the attacking team coming out of their end.

I would like to comment though, on a statement Great Britain coach David
Waite made after the game, he said.

"We were punished in the second half when we had the ball for about six [6]
minutes in the first thirty [30] minutes of the second half and only a few
moments there when we looked like we could generate some things and our
execution let us down in that".

Statistics show, during the Second Half 42 sets were played

Sets 1 to 13

Great Britain had the ball on 6 occasions to New Zealand's 7 occasions

Sets 14 to 26 after 22 minutes

Great Britain had the ball on 7 occasions New Zealand 6 occasions

Sets 27 to 42

Great Britain had the ball on 9 occasions New Zealand 7 occasions

Total distribution of the ball second half Great Britain 22 New Zealand 20

Total Ball distribution for full game Great Britain 48 New Zealand 39

RLCM believes Great Britain made simple errors by some international Rugby
League players who had no idea of overcoming a defence and implementing the
game plan to 'go forward' to the 50m, before attempting to gain field
position by a contested kick and chase.

Simply because the that type of game is not played on a weekly basis in the
northern hemisphere.

EXTRACT FROM RLCM BOOK 26 printed 2002
http://www.rlcm.com.au/editions.htm

DEFENCE By Glenn Bayliss

PRINCIPLES OF DEFENCE

Quite often in games, the winning team is determined not by what they do
with the ball, but what they get done without it.

The ability to attack in defence. It’s more than tackling the dill with the
pill, proper and effective defensive lines will not only blunt out creative
attacking opportunities thrown at them by the opposition – they will also
lay the platform for success down the other end of the field when their
turn comes for possession.

The basis of defence can be narrowed to four main principles.

1. Exert Pressure.

Limit the time, space and therefore the options of the attacking team.

2. Gain Ground.

A quick moving defensive organised line that exerts pressure can often stop
the attacking team from gaining the “advantage line”.

The loss of ground while in attack can have a demoralising effect on
the defence. To achieve this aim players must be conditioned to retreat the
required 10 metres and be set for the next PTB.

3. Win Possession.

The old adage “you can’t score without the football” sums up the third
principle. Strong effective tackling coupled with applied pressure will
achieve a higher turnover rate of possession.

If your team can limit the time the opposition spends with the football it
will go along way towards boosting your chances of winning.

4. Physically Dominate the Opposition.

If you are coaching teams “international rules” this principle comes into
being. Rugby League is a game of strong physical contact. Quite often a
defence that is “physical”, i.e. powerful driving tackles that stop
attackers “in their tracks”, can have a marked impact on a game.

If opponents are concerned by the fact they are to be solidly tackled a
further mental “pressure” can be placed on their game leading to
increased mistakes/ hesitancy, turnover of the football.

It must be stressed that your “physical” defence doesn’t “cross the line”
and become illegal play. This can lead to unwanted penalties and put the
football back in your opponent’s hands more often.

ORGANISATION FOR YOUR DEFENCE

1. Individual Tackling Skill.

For a defence to be effective each player in your team must be competent in
tackling skill. As a coach it is important to concentrate on the player’s:

a) Technique

Develop front-on and side-on techniques that put opponents to the ground
quickly (and on their back) or ties up the football. When a team
consistently dominates in the tackle by ensuring the player is
‘turtled’ [turned on his back] with his upper body facing his own goal
posts, this dominance will increase the time that the attacking opposition
has to bring the ball back into play, thus allowing more
time for the defence line to be set.

Players must also understand the principle of ‘peeling’, which is the
player who ties up the upper body holds the player down until the player
around the leg releases. The upper body defender comes up
with the tackled player and assumes the role of first marker.

b) Balance
Be able to react to the unexpected, moving quickly
with control. Without balance, a tackle loses its....more
