from the link you gave me:
Tigers coach Tim Sheen took a swipe at playing standards in Super League by claiming Ellis needs re-educating in some of the game's basics.

where does he mention tackling?

the story i read in a RL magazine in oz specified what it was.

either way an international player doesnt know something most australian 16 years old do.

thats not a good thing for international RL.

well we'll just hjave to see how he goes in the nrl.
i personally think he'll do well and will be a one of the better forwards next year if not this.

who cares about internationals?

as long as the footy is fantastic in the nrl, all else can do whatever they want

they have rediscovered the balance between attack and defence and getting rid of the VR from most of the game has been excellent

the RL has simply been scintillating this year

make your mind up

It's already been pointed out to you on another thread that Tim Sheens did not say that Ellis can't tackle. What he actually referred to was his understanding of the defensive patterns which Sheens uses. Therefore it's got absolutely f*ck all to do with basic skills, and everything to do with Ellis learning to operate in new types of defensive systems. Yet you (and Chorley Freak) seem completely unable to grasp this.

Have you ever actually watched a game of rugby league?
