Bulldogs, despite that, won the centre clearances 14-8 and overall 44-30. So much for the big tapout advantage. Just have the mids in the centre square ready.
Just further evidence taps are pointless stats, and our main problem in the absence of SpecialK is our ruck ineffectiveness around the ground.
It's not the hitouts that sway the result, it's the 2nd and 3rd efforts, or the absence of them.
You can lose the tap and win the clearances, through body positioning, blocks, second efforts, etc., etc..
