Seibold's Analysis

[Adam Doobie]

Yeah our defense was actually good most of the game. We were let down by poor offense really. You can see in the clip that Joffa identified that we were short and took it upon himself to flog over in cover just in case there was a break made on the inside of the 2nd or 3rd man. He wasn't required in the end because of the decision Seibold identified with Mbye, which meant that Whitehead didn't have time to make Nofoaluma or Roberts make a decision to allow him to exploit the overlap. The other part is that Laurie was positioned perfectly. So we actually had 2 men in cover so really what was a 4 on 3 that we managed to recover from because of Mbye was actually a 4 on 5 because of excellent cover defense.

I noticed Tamou doing the same thing as Joffa did here, several times in the game.

This is why I'm glad Aloiai is gone. He was always so poor in this area. Our defensive structure quite often used to break down after he was involved in a tackle.
