are you for real welham cant tackle never mind sorting other peoples problems he jumps out the line trying for a big hit leaving his winger exposed and mika cant tackle to save his life

Spot on about Welham imo. I don't think he's as poor a tackler as some make out, he just gets into bad positions, usually because he's too eager to protect Dobson. Our poor line speed doesn't help either, the left edge defence always seem to be going sideways, that's asking for trouble. Could do with a really aggressive back-rower on that side.

Tripe.

He has always been a poor defender and certainly never improved when Dobson was out injured this year or last. The Welham fan club always insisted it was orders from the coach as to why he shot out of the line. He does that less frequently now, but he's still making dozens of misses.

He's made the top 10 for missed tackles in SL for 4 years in a row. How does he do that if he's not a poor tackler?

I can grab a hold of tackle better than Welham, doesn't matter how big it is, either.

Just look at the way BIG Luke Dorn ran through him the other week to set up a try.

I think Welham makes Dobson look far worse in defence than he actually is, been watching some of Dobsons tackling close up recently and his one on one defence aint been to bad. Welham constantly out of position, reading plays wrong has an effect on all the players defending alongside him.

So then why doesn't Dobson tell him to stay in the line.
