Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2616189, member: 1847"] It also gets worse than that. Yet again, line speed, our dreadful tendency to slide sideways in defence out wide instead of moving forward and attacking the ball carrier, and defenders standing flat footed waiting for the ball carrier. I just watched the Warriors game in Rd 19. Talk about appalling defence. We won that 'cos the Warriors were just as bad, although their aggression leaves us for dead. Having said that, our attack was pretty good. Alex Glenn definitely needs to move out of the 11. He is not a link man any more and for mine, would do better defending and running in the middle with Thaiday on the right running wide a la his role in Origin. Their first try: Ben Hunt just stood there and watched before deciding to move up by which time it was too late. Later, Copley and Barba sliding laterally instead of moving up on the ball runner. Most times the Warriors got the ball, they made almost 10m before getting tackled. The Souths game was an even worse example of this horrible defensive pattern. Grrrrr. The club's defensive coaching needs a rocket, separate to our failure to play to our strengths. [/QUOTE]
