Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2540155, member: 1847"] Absolute commitment to 80 mins of aggressive defence. In 2103, lack of both commitment/discipline largely caused by poor structure, and the utterly WRONG approach to, and attitude in defence was our biggest single flaw. I've looked at the Manly and the Roosters defence closely - up in your face almost as soon as the dummy half passes, hard, hard hits and immediate recovery of position and structure after a tackle, not to mention effective tackles. I've been watching lots of martial arts (and boxing) vids recently and interestingly,what is common to all the successful fighters is that they meet the opponent on the move and on the front foot, literally attacking in defence, with the body driving all movements. Funnily enough, as many instructors said, they key is 80% cardio fitness. There's no time and space given, and the forward momentum is always relentless. The attacker feels pain, is also rattled mentally, and the whole attack in fact stops, and goes backwards. Like the Roosters and Manly, and unlike the Broncos. For mine, that is priority no.1 [/QUOTE]
