That there sums up how important defense is.

Awful for 60 mins, we decide to turn up and defend 3 repeat sets on our line and go up the other end and score the first of 3 tries to seal it.

Still worrying but that just shows how vital turning up in defense is we did for 20 mins rode the wave and handled what they threw at us, killed there confidence and ran away with it.

When do we ever come from behind after losing 4 in a row and down by 12 with 20 to go and win? Never.

Still concerns but they have a bit more mettle then Parra teams of the past.

Might I add Gutho is an absolute star, he has to stay at fullback he offers such a good pass when he chimes in and is a big body when returning. French to the wing for the future.

I think I have under estimated the energy / enthusiasm IDG / Edwards brings to this side!!

Their loss may have affected us more then expected!!

Fair assesment.

I think we definitely miss IDG's line speed and defence around the play the ball. Pritchard's defence isn't anywhere near IDG.

Yeah great work, no surprises you were happy with the effort. We were terrible and lucky we were playing another bottom 4 team.

You make some good points and hopefully these blokes can build some confidence out of all of that, because we've played like a team with no confidence the last three weeks and most of the first 60 minutes today.

I'm not sure I'd have French in the team at all if Semi is forced to depart soon. We don't get ourselves in a position to get three quick play the balls for our second try in the second half today if French is on the field. In fact I think the fact that French won't / can't run the ball back really hurts us against stronger sides.

We also have to remember, the Tigers are shit.

Lots of work to do before we can be even be considered to be a top 8 threat. I'll take that win though all the same. At this point, as dismally as we have played over the last month, we haven't been flogged.
