Our attack is clicking and is clicking well, our footy is flowing and we're scoring points, Gus I hope you sign Mick Potter for 1 year I think he can get us into the 8.
Souths fans may well be asking the same question, after a bottom dwelling team scored some easy tries against them, with less possession.What about defence?
I have'nt rated Souths all seasonSouths fans may well be asking the same question, after a bottom dwelling team scored some easy tries against them, with less possession.
Our defence was brilliant at times. We were under the hammer, with repeat sets bombarding our line, and managed to stifle a few certain tries by tackling our hearts out and marching them over the side line. The tries that Souths scored were from some brilliant play, and a bit of luck with bounce of the ball.I have'nt rated Souths all season
Still does'nt take the fact away our defence was putrid today
We just need conformation from Annesley when we are aloud to employ illegal tactics to slow the ptb down to a crawl like the nrl darlingsWhat about defence?
From what I saw, the errors in defence are slight adjustments, nothing major.I have'nt rated Souths all season

As Gus saysFrom what I saw, the errors in defence are slight adjustments, nothing major.
When the opposition kicks a bomb that lands in an unthreatening position (I.e more than 10m from try line or near the sideline) I have no problem if our guys let it be taken by the opposition. To me it's the correct play. But.... they must absolutely be prepared to wrap that player up immediately when he hits the ground or wait and bundle him out of the sideline.
The only time they should take the bomb is when there is no one within 10m of them and they get a solid go at it and under no pressure.
IMO I don't think it was criminal to allow the souths guy (Tass I think) to get the ball, but it was poor defending to allow him to get a pass to Johnston.
The effort plays on the Ilias try and the Latrell try are the ones where Potter needs to get the guys to be more alert and better.
Someone one here made the point that Souths scored 3 tries on last tackle. That says to me that some of our players slacken off on the last play thinking the predictable kick to the wings will happen.
We fell apart defensively when that big forward crashed over under the posts. The middles were very lazy/ tired to allow such a massive gap for him to stroll over.
It was the more disappointing lapse for me as we had just re-taken the lead only to give up so meekly
They were still trying to get back onside in that try and very slow attempt to form a defensive line on our tryline.From what I saw, the errors in defence are slight adjustments, nothing major.

Furner on his way out the door. Defence should improve when he farks offWhat about defence?
It's weird because I'd rather be a good attacking side, and shit at defense, than the other way round. At least it's more entertaining to watch but yeah some of those tries we conceded were putridI have'nt rated Souths all season

Our for and against should have us in 11th and equal 8th thanks to those games we lost where we pretty much had for the taking....eg Souths, Dragons, manly, Broncos........Thanks to our new enterprising attack we have the best F&A of all the bottom 5 sides
We should win next week to jump to 12th then win the week after to cement 12th
We absolutely definately deserve 12th right now ..Thanks to our new enterprising attack we have the best F&A of all the bottom 5 sides
