Our attack has improved but still leaking 30 points a game like last two years.
My point is how come the tigers who had a big player turnover and a brand new coach have their defence locked down from round 1 and we're still a work in progress?
Mate it's round 4, heaps of teams haven't got their shit together yet. The Cowboys defence has been woeful so far and the Broncos haven't been much better. Yes the Tigers are looking really good so far but it's a long competition and if at the end of the season the Tigers are still keeping that record in tact I'll be very surprised. Also I expect us to improve markedly throughout the season and we haven't exactly had an easy draw either, all the teams we've played so far are high points scoring teams (Dragons, Sea Eages & Raiders all in top 5 for tries scored) so it's not like we're the only ones that they're scoring points against.
The games against Sea Eagles & Raiders we would have lost last year and this is a big sign of the improvement under Brown. Yes it would be nice to have had closer games against the Dragons & Roosters but we won't be the only teams they touch up this year so I'm not reading too much into it.
