Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2507656, member: 1847"] What you say is largely true, but there is no escaping the fact that our marker defence was appalling - Thaiday and Macca on their first try, and generally giving Smith too much room all game to set up plays, and of course, Maranta's 3 contributions to their score. The Storm's first and last tries should never have scored: lazy marker defence - fatal with Smith at dummy half (there were 2 markers) on the 1st (after 2.5 minutes), and, incredibly poor reading of the play on the last: there was at least 5 metres between our defensive line which was flat footed, and Finch I think, who saw the yawning gap out wide with Maranta standing back - they had 4 on 2, threw the obvious pass that gave that 2 man advantage all the time in the world to score. Both our marker defence and lack of creative play in and around the rucks seriously amplified the undoubted wear and tear on our boys. [/QUOTE]
