Do you mean their length of the field try? Looked as though Ronnie went high to me? I thought if he went low, he could have got to him a few metres earlier and possible stopped him.
Will have to watch it again.
He went high, just not the technique I was referring to, I didn't explain what I meant very well.
He kind of grabbed the back of Nius shoulders, the tendency in the NRL (think great X Coates try saver a couple weeks back) is to get another step closer and reach overshoulder and get hands on ball/better secure player. Because he didn't have Niu's arms/ball secured at all he just reached out and put ball down.
In regards to a true low tackle, he could have dived for the legs earlier although NRL players have such powerful legs they often stride through that kind of reaching contact. If he had waited until he was closer and it was a sure thing Niu was too close to line to tackle legs by then I think.
Always going to be tough to stop him that close to the line after a 80m sprint
Also the Gamble tackle was a shoulder charge now that I watch it again, given that with same technique Talakai was charged with shoulder charge
