After two of the worst performances possible in their opening matches, MacGregor now has St George firing - their defence today was incredible! God even Benji is as solid as a rock in defence and playing better than I've seen him play for years - MOM _again_ today. MacGregor is doing wonders with this mob, who'd have thought.

I wasn't looking for a bite.
Eventually their defence will tire as the season rolls on.
You can only win so many games whilst scoring 10 points a game.
Once teams start to click in attack I think there defence will crack and that is when we will see how good they really are.
But they are undoubtedly the form team of the comp ATM.
Deadset though the most boring team to ever play in the NRL. Every week they make the opposition look just as boring as them and their games are a struggle to watch week to week

To be fair, they did win a premiership playing that exact brand of footy. Don't think too many of their fans would be complaining, especially if they're still there come September.

Youd think sooner or later the better coaches/playmakers will work out ways around their superb defense.
The difference in 2010 was that they had genuine game breakers in case they fell behind. Darius Boyd a young Brett Morris, even Soward when he was in that form could get them the points they needed early and they'd just defend the lead.
I can't see them scoring points and getting out of trouble. They've won 6 in a row, but at least 3 of them were in the wet against teams that otherwise would've outscored tben , and completely turns the match in the favour of a defensive team.
They won't make the 8 and the Oust Doust campaign with restart. Couldn't be happier seeing them struggle when this happens.

Still don't think they are as boring as they were. Even though they fluked a comp win they will never be as boring as they were under Bennett in 2010 ( or any other side in history?). There was alot more wrestle back then and the play the ball was snails pace.
We should have got them that year, if Payten hadn't been injured at training. doh.

Second man play, second man play. Good ole Stuart. They mist be going against his game plan this year the Raiders.
That game between Broncos and Sharks earlier in the year was the most boring game ive ever seen. Certainly since the 10 meter rule was introduced.
