Our defence isn't as bad as the overreact types claim, cut out the silly mistakes, dropped ball out from kick off and scrum loss against the feed and we are in there zone attacking not defending, the longer you defend the more likely fatigue and errors, bad reads enter, cut those out and suddenly we seem to be defending better. If you reverse those two very bad errors then they become fatigued, make mistakes and even in attack look slow, it is a big turnaround.
I don't know which ladder you are looking at but we have conceded the most points of all the NRL teams and nearly twice as much as some of the teams in the top 8. Just unbelievable not even halfway through the season. Imagine how bad it will be at the end of R25.
You can't blame a few dropped balls on that gross, ugly, hard, cold fact.
I've been writing in this forum every week since round 2 that we have major issues with defensive technique, pattern and line speed not to mention aggression in any form with and without the ball.
Make no mistake OD our defence is absolute crap and getting worse.
The coach needs to do something about it ASAP not sell the line that they are young and only 40 to 50 gamers.
