This has been a problem in pretty much every game this year. The speed of our defensive line is non existent and we are just killing ourselves as we are letting the opposition march down the field consistently for 50-60 meters a set while we struggle to get to 40m. I dont understand why its happening and why it hasnt improved but we need to work hard, get off our line and meet the attacking player halfway instead of letting them run 10m before any contact is made. The dragons were getting up on us, the storm/broncos did the same thing and they all beat us.
We need to get back to the old school bulldogs defence and be up in their faces and stop letting teams get a roll on and consistently have us on the back foot. Last night, the Dragons first 5 kicks were pretty much all bombs cause of the territory they gained, you just cant win games when teams have all that momentum. We need to step it up and start working harder in defence before worrying about attack as all that falls into place.
