Defence

[spirit of league]

All about attitude, commitment, teamwork & belief.

Yesterday it was an embarrassment. Manly made us look like a gaggle of high school cock-snaps.

Premierships are built on defence. Last season we had it. This season? Forgetaboutit...

Flanno & leadership group need to have a word with themselves and with the playing group as a whole to decide if we want to give B2B a real shot or not.

 

[Arnold]

We are toast. Imo.

 

[Jono Russell]

It was bad on Sunday but we are still the best defensive team in the comp this year.

 

[Card Shark]

Our defence has been good all year, except a few lapses.

Still got the best defence in the comp. that's kept us up there.

Not our biggest problem.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

We are chopping & changing lineups at the moment which is not perfect for our short term systems but great for our long term durability.
We will be right.

 

[snout]

Wont improve until SOO finished.

Jimmy and crews heads are at one place.

Suncorp.

 

[shaggs]

The contact was soft.

 

[Craigshark]

Thought Fifita dogged it a couple of times yesterday with Taupau..

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Better get our defence right against the Roosters.

Like Manly they have points in them.

Can you believe a loss to them could see us 7th on the table.

Very competitive comp this.

Having Maloney rush out for intercepts all the time doesn't help. He also defends right near Brailey. Brails is a good defender but the bigger blokes will always land over the advantage/try line against him without anyone helping.

other teams have been picking this up for a few games now
it'll be fixed before we win the GF

Suncorp.

You're probably right.

Why did our best defender (Prior) start on the bench, we had no line speed without him.
Furthermore why no Latimore or Paulo.
We had no size on the bench.

SOO has well and truly f**ked them or more so L Daleys coaching skills. If blues had of won on Wednesday who knows. Happens this time every year don't know what Beale and Chad's excuse is though lol

Chad is now on big coin and I expect him to be playing like it.

He needs to be putting more energy and spark into games. He's just cruising along at the moment.

Needs to be working way harder.

This puzzled me also
I think he is busted at the moment

Anyone else thinking that the team may be getting flogged at training in ready for a taper off after SOO?

I said it a couple of weeks ago.
Fatigue is one thing though, on Sunday it was shitty attitude
