Siua Wong

[Rooster90]

Started his career great, has regressed heavily.

The guy arm grabs every tackle when he can even be bothered making an attempt - without knowing the bloke its hard to say if it's attitude or technique

[King Salvo]

Wong did a lot of D though - 41 tackles - 4 missed and 2 ineffective in 67 minutes - probably took a lot out of him as his runs and running metres were down - 3 runs for 30 metres

A light D load for most of the Bronco forwards as below shows- certainly need to make them work harder in D when playing them as if not they will be relatively fresh for their attack-- runs and hit ups

Tackles - Brisbane 259 - 30 missed - 17 ineffective tackles - Roosters 376 - 37 missed - 25 ineffective tackles

When the whole line is out of shape and not working as a team in D, everyone is going to start missing tackles. Defence is one of those things where its not just one in, its all in working harmoniously else it fails apart everywhere and with everyone.

This is why Robbo has been loathe to tinker and shuffle the team over the years, as defence is as much about communicating than technique. Trent has preferred picking players out of position but used to playing in the first grade line to keep the trust. You could see Tedesco admonishing a player after conceding a try for failing the system.

Agree.
