I hope that Buzz is put on the open market and ends up moving to Geelong and starts following the Storm.

Firmly secure the highly revered status of being Manly’s Bitches. Get flogged for not turning up twice in the regular season, then have your panties wedgie ripped off you by Manly during a crucial game in the finals.

Don’t break the well honoured tradition ya little Bitches.

Uele let one slip.

"Aim is be top 4 in defence"

https://www.sharks.com.au/news/2019/12/12/hamlin-uele---it-was-a-dream-come-true/

As the coach or players let them slip out, add them here, see if they get there.

Top 4 in defence is a good goal.

Top 4 teams last year were the top 4 defensive sides.

It's a very good goal.

And if we can achieve that then I think we're a Top 4 team next year because I feel our attack is already pretty good and will only get better next year.

And as you mentioned defence wins comps.

I haven't watched the video, but if that is accurate, it doesn't sit well with me at all. There is one winner and fifteen losers.

Our aim needs to be "Number 1 in Defence".

This whole aiming for Top 8 or Top 4 breeds an unacceptable level of satisfaction.

There are the Premiers and the rest.....

Number one defense did not make the Grand Final.

But was always going to be one of the top 4.

The fact the focus is defense, sits well with me.

If they can be Top 4 in defence then they're a very good chance to be Top 4 - Which will be the teams main first goal. Once the finals hit they're in a prime position.

To take it one week at a time.

To let the game be the winner.

To let the game start on Monday.

To realise the coach isnt the one out there missing the tackles.

I haven't checked the 2016 ladder, but were we number 1 in defence in 2016?

3rd best for fewest tries and points scored against
1st for fewest metres conceded
equal 3rd best for fewest linebreaks conceded
2nd best for fewest missed tackles and offloads conceded

Attack was top three in most categories mind you

2016 seemed like we attacked while we were defending.
It was games where we monstered and bullied the opposition while they had the ball.
