46 missed tackles

Were 13 of those missed tackles on Hynes from that play when he took a quick tap and nobody was watching?

What a schoolboy error that was. But as Robbo would say, “we’ll take our lesson”.

We take our lessons .Just wish we would learn from them

Paulo made a similar error when the sharks kicked for touch off a penalty after a challenge in the first half when he wasn't in position to possibly tap it back into play. No excuses for those mistakes, it doesn't take ability just awareness and determination.

The right side D needs to be better one has to say

[Kelby]

Ryles has turned us from the Bondi Wall to the Greek Ruins.

But apparently he is first grade coach material..

Off to the merge by all accounts......

We’ll click. We had such a bog average game plan, the attack was pedestrian but the halves can fire, we know that from the back end of last year. The defence wasn’t as bad as it’s being made out, our scramble was actually quite good. Not to mention the fact we were down a man for the early stages and managed to turn them away quite often on our line.

We have the roster, we do have the coach, and we have troops coming back. Our spine hasn’t had many consistent games together yet, our backline has changed most weeks. We’re building towards something great, have patience and try and suffer the grind in these early rounds.

This.

A lot of criticism was thrown around through the early part of 2018. Similar situation with the altered spine yet to discover how to play together. If we stay at 50/50 or better going into the middle rounds I reckon we’ll have a strong run home & can run deep into September.

Hard to say as Jason Ryles has been linked to the Storm Job as well but so has Billy Slater

Talk was Shane Flanagan or a Combo of Dean Young and Ben Hornby for the Dragons Job if they make the decision to move Anthony Griffin on

Des Hasler and Michael McGuire would be in the discussions as well one assumes for either the Storm or Dragons job

Good post. I can see slight similarities with 2018 and how we struggled to find points but I don’t remember our defensive line being as vulnerable as it is now. I hope with more game time and cohesion along with troops returning we can stiffen up and get that defensive steel about us again.

Nat needs to play lock. Rads is a liability nowadays.

Backrow of
Gus / Sitili / Egan
with Nat at lock

Rads to reggies for awhile to learn / adjust and perhaps back to the bench.

Good stats - goes unnoticed by many

[The Marshall]

Several times Manu mistimed his charge out of the defensive line and left us short. At least once the guppies scored from it.

Also the fatigue factor from having 13 or so less sets, 10 less penalties and a couple of periods with 12 men. That can blow out missed tackles

Unfortunately I agree

Slater said “no” straight away when contacted.

If Ryles is our defensive coach then he can go now.
