Price I hope will be a good on field leader and talker where Mark will hopefully bring a kicking game and an eye for a pass, looking at what's available and how hard it is going to be to recruit a couple of experienced half's has in KRs case, I am glad we acquired the services of these two early on and will have them on board for preseason in such an important season.

there is no collision there is no wrestle
these are made up terms.
At my club we have specific 'wrestling' sessions quite often, and it's called as such. The objective being to be in control of the tackle in different scenarios to ultimately gain/or prevent a quick play the ball.
Our forwards also practise the 'collision', and again it's called as such. This involves making sure they connect with the defender(s) in the most effective position, the leg drive after initial impact, and even down to basics like making sure you're not leading with the ball carrying arm.
From my experiences both terms are used in RL quite widely.

It is interesting to learn who the kids are, and who the old hands are. Different eras and different opinions.
They're just terms for aspects of the game, not sure it's important enough to be disgruntled over?
I remember you saying you watched NRL, you must hear both terms used out there? I'd guess at Australia being the origin of the two, rather than those two muppets.
And you've no idea how old I am. Flattered at being called a 'kid' though.
I would hope that, because he's not played enough rugby down under and has been forced to return to the UK to continue his career, that he's been humbled somewhat.
Definite potential and talent, but a slightly over inflated opinion of his own abilities and worth. Left Bradford because he felt he should be getting a deal comparable to the established first team players despite having only 1 SL appearance to his name.

you can usually garner a rough age from posts/content and language.
