We are very unlucky to be 0-2. We have arguably the best defense in the comp. To concede just 26 points in 2 weeks against 2 very good teams that will likely be playing September footy is a massive effort.
Defending is the hard part of footy. It takes guts, it takes effort, it hurts, it's running on empty to put in one more tackle. It's easy to run hard with the ball. It's harder to make the same amount of effort without it.
We have the hard part figured out. Attack is a different matter. We have a new shape without Reynolds who was the axis of the team for a decade. It is taking time to figure it out. Once the new team clicks we will be winning and winning a lot.
No better time to start than against the old enemy.
Souths 24-12. You heard it here first.
