  • Defensive issues!

    Although we`re having a few issues in attack/cohesiveness at the moment,and relying too much on the bomb,my main concern with our play is our defense!

    After letting in 29 points against the Wabbits,our players/coach came out in the media and said we need to work on our defense and not let in as many points.
    Defense was the focus of the week leading up to the Manly match blah blah blah

    After round 1,we have let in 27 points against a depleted Manly side,and 24 points against the Dogs!

    Im not sure what these guys are working on at training,but it clearly isnt our defense.

    We need to fix that up along with giving silly penalties away,and our attck will flow off that..

    True - our defense sucks, we're the 2nd worst defensive team in the comp

      We have had 80 points put on us this year. Last year we had 102 after 3 rounds.
      It wasn't until well after half the season was over that Smithy said they will focus on defense.
      We don't need the perfect all round game and the perfect team on the park today.
      Players are nowhere near their peak. Some are coming back from off season surgery.
      Our attack is crap. Our defense is crap. We will improve in time for the GF.

          Nah Lydon. I am just not worried. We had the same problems this time last year with defense, attack, off-field drams, players coming back from long layoffs and I believe that Smithy saves a lot for later in the year. One game counts. Enjoy the rollercoaster ride all over again.

            Finally somebody bringing up our biggest problem yet. Our least amount conceded is 24! That's ridiculous. Were stuck blaming and dumping players, when the whole team is the problem
