Warrington Wolves • Tackle Technique
The old ways of tackling after long gone. The game evolves, and coaches look at ways on how they can develop to gain an advantage over the rest of the league.
There are five main tackles within rugby league nowadays. They are:
Neutral - 90% of tackles are neutral tackles. Where neither attack or defence have won the tackles and gained an advantage.
Surrender - Where defenders make initial contact and then fall to the floor. Or where they surrender the tackle knowing they cannot advance further. Defence are allowed extra time to stabilise the tackle, add surrender tackles are a negative attacking tactic.
Dominant - Where the defence drive the ball carrier back immediately on first contact, including putting them on their back. The defence are allowed extra time to standalone the tackle.
Win - Where ball carriers break the defensive line of scrimmage and ball carriers are brought down forward first through scrabble defence. Defence must release the ball carriers upon the referee’s “move” call immediately to not disadvantage the attack for winning the tackle.
Upright - Attackers haven’t been brought to ground, but defence have stopped the ball carrier’s progress. Referee will call “held,” and defenders must release the tackles player.
