Once a team has total control the ruck they just set up expecting to win the stoppage and run accordingly. When that happens no structure or defence can defend against it. When there is a 50/50 in the ruck all game neither team has the confidence to set and just run expecting to win the stoppage because when they don't they get punished big time. Forget the SC score- NicNat won that game.

So concede the ruck and actually man up their 3 centre square mids and make them actually earn possession and put pressure on their delivery into the F50 , send Tay Tay , Crisp & Maynard in their.
If that doesn't work stand up and put a few on their arse , at least show some fight & spirit.
