The Aussie coach, Bob Fulton, reviewed hours of footage and data of the talismanic Ellery Hanley and devised a plan to nullify him. They saw Hanley was most effective when penned L to R, so when he crabbed across field, Paul Sironen smashed into him every time. As close to man-to-man marking in RL.
