Team v Souths

Our attack is pretty bad,but it’s not what’s losing us games.
We have the worst defence I’ve ever seen from any team in my 25 years of watching rugby league.
Started Halfway through the 2020 season.
We have zero line speed.
He absolutely cops it on here,but Garner is the only player in our squad who puts has any sting in defence.
I’m not sure who to pick ,like others I’m happy to give some young blokes a crack.They can’t be that much worse.

I agree with you about the line speed and overall defence being a huge problem. One thing I think that is sometimes overlooked, however, is the amount of energy that the opposition has when they have the ball. For me, oppositions know our predictable attack is so easy to defend that they spend minimal effort defending against us, leaving them full of energy in their next attacking set. Look what happened in the second half of last week's game when we threw some upbeat, second phase attack at the Cows - their energy levels dropped.

That’s a good point
I hate that we wait until we are beat to start attempting to play football.
High percentage does not work for this team.we are already conceding so many point we may as well start with some wild plays.

You'll never know until they learn to defend as a unit

I'd love to ask Madgness if Madgness is happy with the way they are setting up and reacting in defence ......

I swear 1/3 of the team moves up.
Just a scattered line of shirt grabbers
Maybe Simpkin will lead our defensive line? Very doubtful of this team becoming any better in defence.
Surely Madge is thrashing these blokes at training. Especially in the defence department.
 
Maguire was a deadset Nuffie when he played ...
Familiarity breeds contempt !
Just saying .....

They should be yelling out ...
“Hold “hold” up” like the kids do in under 8’s
They also should have tennis balls taped to there hands so they have to use there shoulders ..
Deadset disgrace .
