Even the knights have done better than that.

The trouble with making statements like this is that they are easy to say, but impossible to prove either way.
The bottom 5 account for 9 of our 11 wins. While this indicates we've been hit in the arse with a rainbow in the draw this year, these bottom five teams have won 31 games between them, all against teams we are competing with, none of them against us. That is why we are (just) in the 8.
He mentioned we are not playing good football (dropped ball, missed tackles) and that our current style of play isn't great (griffins strategies). Can't really disagree with him on those points but if we win this weekend we should be ok.
Not sure missed tackles in particular is a great barometer of defence. We've conceded 66 tries, which is pretty much appropriate for our position on the ladder, and just slightly below the average of all teams.
Yeah I agree, we are still missing a lot of tackles apparently but I think the defence as a whole has definitely improved. We scramble very well so as the individual numbers don't mean much l.
I reckon Girds is going in for a bit of motivational work here, remembering how the 2003 side of which he was a member was written off left, right and centre.
