Defence and Urgency

[oldpuppy]

Titans 3rd try at the 2min of clip mark was pathetic on our part. How did 2 titans find space amongst a tight blind side that had enough defenders to extinguish that little raid. It was a 5 sec sequence of comical defensive reads from 5 players.
We talk about our lack of attack but that defence typifies why we are where we are.

It was really like watching an NRL side vs park footballers. The players are so behind in parts of the game defence, urgency, kick chase, support plays. I’m struggling to think of a worse looking NRL side in recent memory.

Our defence has been terrible all year.soft tries lack of urgency terrible line speed.

Renouf is still getting back onside now from the previous play.....

We are tragically lacking line speed in defence, intensity in general and passing accuracy. When you watch the panthers,storm or rortsters their passes are crisp and in front of the intended recipients, our passes go above,behind or nowhere near the intended player

Look at Hoppas effort... He's the captain and he's not setting an example. Loser club with a lot of loser players

Other teams get on the outside of Hoppa so easily - he is too slow - just having Schoupp who has a bit of speed - they have the ability to use speed to overcome poor reads - Hoppa cannot do it

This is very true. We are a reserve grade team playing NRL.

The sad part is we wouldn't even win NSW Cup.

Hoppa is a good team man and he has been a little better in recent weeks but the sooner he is wearing a Mounties jersey the quicker we will be more competitive

Katoa has no defence or urgency and he's in the position that needs to show it the most.

Not to mention his decision making and ball distribution

Another great impression of a statue by Hoppa.. that has to be close to double digits for the season of opposition centres that have stood him up with ease..

i don't know what happened to the YouTube clip but i thought that was Ava at first glance. I could be wrong. Whoever it was, he looked disinterested in what was evolving.Our scramble defence was shocking by all in that try.

Shoupp handled himself well first game. Did what he had to do considering the nerves he might have had. Hopefully he's persisted with. In recent times we blood a young guy and quickly we relegate them to bring back the usual plodders.
