2 tries from dummy-half LOL

Any C grade team could defend their line better than us WTF. We can't defend one single set of 6 on our line. What a joke.

How are we so so bad with Ciraldo being the former defence coach for the best in the NRL ?

Are they just f..king dumb and don't understand his systems ? Can it really be that hard ?

We need to score 60 points a game if this is the way we defend.

Sack our D coach and hire Holbrook. Get Tino. He'll help

probably because the assistant thinks we can defend like Panther without the players, same with Barrett in previous years in regards to our attack

It's the worst I've seen in the NRL era. It's scary bad. In fact our Reserve Grade side that lost by 30 today had better goal line defence - its that bad.

Don't know how you fix it. It's so bad, that just changing anything would be a step forward.

We get dominated through the middle and in the ruck. Which allows opposition teams to get quick play the ball.

That’s it. When you have reserve grade players like Burns, Topine, Okunbor, Wilson & Morrin you can’t expect the same result as the Panthers.

Burton.
We've only missed 9 tackles all half.

That tells you all you need to know. Silly ***** on the edge plant their feet and turn in to give away the overlap.
Or Burton gets hit as a spot player for a quick play the ball.

But you don't have to be a special player to defend adequately usually. We're vulnerable to virtually every trick of the trade. We'd get thrashed in a game of touch footy even. Most coaches and commentators say defence is about attitude so our attitude must be shit

Club is plagued by an inherent Loser attitude in the dressing sheds and then out on the field.
Ciro needs Gus to get more involved.

our attitude probably sucks because there is little to no repercussions for playing badly in our team, the assistant will continue to select the duds until a blind person could see it's time to take them out the back and shoot them

We have to move all these f..kers on. And Gus says we're not signing anyone external at the moment because we're looking at our current players. F..king LOL. How much more shit does he need to see ?

Are we seriously considering re-signing any of our players off contract ?

Yup average 32 points per game against us. We are no hope until we fix defence
