Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3144376, member: 1847"] I sort of agree with you. Sort of because against the Dogs our defence is still nowhere good enough to cope with the top sides. Seriously way off. Our line speed has improved a lot but still needs a lot more work. We reverted to the "wait for them" style a few times. That style is fatal with the new Rule and against a fast moving, coordinated attack. As well, our right edge defence is rubbish. It needs a lot of work. Lots of drills about spacing, sliding and communication including communication between the middle and the edge. Nui also needs to start trying to coordinate the defence. I know he's 18 but that is what a good FB does, and he is a bloody good FB in every other way. Unless fixed, our right edge is a turnstile and we will leak lots of points down there. The positives are plenty. TPJ, Haas, Carrigan leading the way, like they are so very good, and when Fifita returns, and a fit and angry Lodge, I reckon our forward pack is absolutely top of the tree, provided they play with intensity, and, at long last, the good bench rotation continues. If our spine continues to integrate, and Milford continues to control games with his very good kicking game, I think we have a lot of wins in us. This was the perfect game for a team like ours, exactly what we needed to build confidence, motivation and of course continue to build combinations. [/QUOTE]
