greg said:I know its still early days but we are no show with this defence. Unless the tackle bags are used a bit more at training we can start planning for 2007 already. How do you see it 2TB? Are we a show this year or are we kidding ourselves? Without seeing a game I've only got statistics to go on.
Jeffles said:This deal is no different from the Sharks 2005. Thus we can only attract that same players this year as we could last year - and last year that took us to the finals so it should not be a problem this year.
When we were a stand alone club our results were much worse. We could not as easily attract players that were NRL potential because there wasd no pathway.
I think the size issue is more to do with club tactics.

I think we are definately a show Greg. There is a lot of talent in this team and we do look good in attack. The defence is however in need of improvement and the swapping/changing of players week in and week out is probably a factor in that these guys have not been able to play as a team yet. I thought the defence was solid is sections last weekend and looked improved, however they don't seem to maintain it for the whole game. Defending really well then all of a sudden letting in a soft try. There needs to be more consistantcy.
David GILLEPSIE the defencsive coach used to be called " The Axe " didn't he, and was well known for his skill in defence when he used to play, so I can't figure out what is doin, as you'd think he would be the guy to have if you wanted to improve in this area...??????????

I think "the axe" was trevor gillmeister, Gillespie was known as " CEMENT".I see sticky has pinched Hally and Edmondson for first grade this week, Jets will have to fire up on Saturday.
