**Live game thread** Us vs the Doggies

[Bob]

Both noffa and naiquima need to go. They can't defend at a 20's level. There is a massive issue. You can only try to fix something for so long until you replace it. Better defence using a makeshift winger in rankin on the other side.

Not looking good at all. Our defence out wide on both sides has been shocking. I can't see anyway out of this today.

 

[Guest]

Naiqama had a great start to the season but over the past few weeks he has gone off the rails with his defensive reads. Not good enough.

 

[Tap_Twist_Snap]

Total disaster of a first half. Pretty lucky to only be down by 16.

spiralling out of control

Our defence is the worst in the comp and it's not that the players can't tackle. They just make poor reads consistently.

Moses and Brooks have also done nothing wrong defensively.

 

[Harvey]

According to previous posts, Taylor's KPI's start to kick in in 2 weeks.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

One could suggest Koro would have done a better job on the wing than Nofoaluma. Could also make the same claim about young Seve. He always looked very comfortable in defence on the right side.

 

[stryker]

Nope we are gone and by a fair total.
Our defence is not first grade standard. Our halves are not applying pressure and we have disruptions all over the park.

 

[Bob]

Time in possession 38%. Completions 12/14\. Missed tackles 15… If we get more ball we will do better. Just keep those completions up.

 

[Harvey]

The winger will always look bad when he is left with multiple blokes running at him. Moses, Siro, Kev and Nofa alongside each other is a recipe for disaster

 

[Guest]

Completion rate is not bad, but lack of possession and ridiculous missed tackles are killing us.

 

[marzie]

If chee kam was playing I would have benched naiqama for him by now. Nofa not any better either

 

[Pawsandclaws]

Moses by far our best player. Lawrence, Nofoaluma and Kevin N. our worst

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The forwards are aren't good enough here. Can't win games when you're only making 30-40 metres per game.

 

[simonthetigerrrr]

Naiqama is the worst defensive centre in the comp.

Its just terrible.

[ryanda01]

What's has Brooks done? I've seen 1 kick in play in the 10th minute and he's been nowhere. I just keep drinking but they are not getting any better…

 

[Paris_Cobbs]

The Dogs had a massive possession /penalty advantage. If we can turn that around we have the English to score the points to make it a game. You can't win on 38% possession.

That is unfair to include Siro and Moses in that rabble. As I wrote, Lawrence, Kev and Nofa are shocking.
