Parra’s Defence 2020

[Tooooks]

I thought this deserved its own thread.

At the end of round 9 2019, we’d conceded 207 points.

At the end of round 9 2020, we’ve conceded 96 points.

Outstanding and hopefully it will improve further. Our right edge makes me nervous every time.

Could be our best defensive start after 9 rounds in any year?

Also our best start of 8-1?

Defence has been great, it’s only taken 6/7 years. Well done.

Right edge holds up. The stat you quoted is proof.

First 9 games of 1986 (round 1 bye so I counted to round 10): 80 points.

It does. Somehow it does. Although most tries conceded have been down that edge.

 

[T-Boon]

defenses have brought in that rushing centre/winger play.
I think when that comes I'd be putting a kick in behind.

 

[hineyrulz]

Our scramble has been fantastic all year.

Yeah but back then tries were only worth one point ffs!

BA must have a decent half time spray

 

[Gronk]

This time last year the coaching staff were fighting off the angry mob.

BA said today in the presser that they have worked hard on their systems. In fact they hardly did any work on their attack this week because they knew that this game wouldbe won on good D.

I know this is posted with the benefit of Hindysight but I had the feeling that during the second half we would go and win it after repelling the Knights, time and time again. I think they had about 10 more sets than we did during the game. f**k them, and their little dogs too.Well, not their dogs.

Takes a bit of pressure of the forwards having a No 6 that tackles and rarely misses too.
