I'm fine tackling around the legs, but I'm not the biggest and find it difficult tackling around the ball. Rugby Union followers will say that you should always tackle around the legs, but in league the focus is on slowing down the ruck. Thanks in advance.I'm fine tackling around the legs, but I'm not the biggest and find it difficult tackling around the ball.

always tackle round the waist or hips( unless you really want to get kicked in the face)

you should always tackle round the waist or hips( unless you really want to get kicked in the face) and if that doesn't slow them down , slide down to trap their legs, the modern game is tending towards also punching the ball free as you tackle if you are strong enough
