First f**king Contact

That and wrap the damn ball up.

And instead of the second tackler running back to the defensive line, get into marker and stop the dummy half run.

f**king basics.

Been the same for 3 yrs
We don't/can't wrap the ball up
Our defensive coach's advice is up there with a virgin's about how to f**k

 

[Tiger Hawk]

It's absolutely terrible, a laughing stock.

But we do the basics so well they say in the media, shame we see things different hey.

 

[themanonthehill]

We do do the basics well
We arrive on time
We can catch a ball
We are all united in thinking coach sheens is the greatest
etc

 

[Navjot]

OH sorry is that what they meant always on time for kids coaching clinics hospital visits etc, those basics. I live in hope that the BASICS of playing winning footy doesnt stand in the way of more pressing matters in future. f@#k me.

i have never seen a team so poor at wrapping up the ball like we are. canberra scored two tries from basic offloads. its not just that we let it get away, but the defence has their back turned jogging back to get onside. its been this way since the end of 05, but has anyone been brought to task about it? a defensive coach maybe?

two in tackles.

In the last 20 minutes, the smart tactic would be to have a centre and a forward in as many tackles as possible, take some pressure off the forwards, and get the centres some tackling practice.

Our team is working as 2 seperate units, the forwards and the backs. That's the sort of style that very poor teams adopt.

Personally, The best two teams in the comp at the moment are Melbourne and Gold Coast, because they play as a team, as one entire unit, they help each other out.

We are not doing this.
