stewarts a bazooka! as good as Sloane, Sully, Jnr....defence just takes work hell get there, but the points this young group together with feages will score for us each game FAR outweighs the odd try they might let in...

Pop Gun you mean..

Let's hope that Wolfe does a much better job as a defensive coach this your than his predecessor. We need a coach that can work on individual defensive skills in addition to collective player defensive skills. Sometimes I wonder what was done in this area last season.

Bloody nothing is what I think. Playing league is not only all about attack and scoring tries, it is about defending against opposing teams to prevent them scoring. Stop them and there is more of a chance of winning. The attack by the Dragons was not much chop either as the opposing teams ability to defend against us was much better.

Our guys would have learnt how to tackle during the time they were growing up and playing in development grades. A good defensive coach needs to be a good manager of the players to ensure that their positive attitude towards the rigours of defending is planted firmly in their minds - play as a team and defend at all cost.

Woolfe appears capable to get the guys fully committed to being a good defensive side - I'm hoping so anyway.

Most likely, Souths are paying him unders. Make a decent offer and at least Souths will have to match the offer to keep him.

Not if he's already under contract for 2023.
