We are, as the title says, "so comprehensively sh*t", because our defensive movement is poor. We aren't moving up collectively off the line, the markers aren't chasing out effectively, and so their dummy half and receivers are having far too much time to dictate terms. Generally opponents are getting good meters off the first couple of hit-ups as a result of our tacklers being on the back foot,or the tsckling pair coming fairly late from the sides allowing them to make headway through the gap.
The pain's going to keep coming as long as we don't correct it. Why aren't Mannering and some of the senior players marshalling the defence? Come on Simon show us the leadership we expect of a captain.
