From Big League:
This has been noticeable all season (especially v the Cowboys), and won us the game last weekend.
It's the sort of thing that goes a long way in finals matches.
Well done Stuey
Cronulla-Sutherland are the best defensive team in the National Rugby League when it comes to the final 20 minutes of matches - the time when fatigue usually sets in and points are most leaked, indicating just how much their fitness and discipline has improved.
They have let in 124 points in their opening 60 minute periods this season, but just 14 points all season (while scoring 52) - that's in 160 minutes of playing time - in the 'back' 20 minutes of matches - an average of just 1.75
