Agbrigg Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 According to Opta stats Tom Lineham for Trinity in the game against Salford only made zero tackles and one attempted tackle which he obviously missed. Now unlees anyone knows of any player who has spent 80 minutes on the pitch not even making that surely this must be a record. Obviously the referee would not be included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agbrigg Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 Seriously guys, its years back since I played a game of either code, but for the life of me i just dont see how any player in any position can stay out on a RL pitch for the full game and not make one single tackle. However if same player gets in the team next week that will be even more baffling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Not Super League, but according to the NRL player stats on Fox Sports, Tautau Moga has played two games on the wing this year for St George this year and he has made one tackle and missed three so slightly ahead of Lineham in the stats. 1 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Damien Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 This seems impossible, its just unfathomable that no one at least ran at him a few times so he had to make some tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh1 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 It’s probably a bit unfair on Lineham this. I suspect his ‘attempted’ tackle was the one on Burgess at the end of the game when Burgess was clearly in touch but the try was given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve spotted his ‘attempted’ tackle now. It was, actually, quite a good tackle, but he then got penalised for holding down. To be fair, he probably couldn’t get up again after all the effort.
