After 6 rounds - 3rd best defense, 3 worst attack

Stats tend to tell a story, so here it is.

 

So far we have more than held our own in defense, in fact we bleed very few tries each week....our defense is good.

 

We all know our attack has been impotent, we score rarely inside the first half.

 

however, i saw our best kicking game all year against the bunnies, and new halves take time to gel, as do new dummy halves.

 

I think we have it just about right, Horo and mannah have been brilliant, Poore is improving, and if we can reduce our error rate, we;ll burn up less gas making tackl;es which always helps attack especially big boppers.

 

I see a good win this weekend, keep pushing up in attack, Keating's kicking game is coming on, and a good win could see us almost back to a zero points differential and almost back in the 8.

 

Seasons are basically split into thirds, games 1-8, 9-18 and the run home. You find your feet and combos in the first 3rd, consolidate your position in the 2nd thrid, and build momentum in the 3rd.....keep the faith we're going alright.

  • Just think how good our defence will be the more our line speed gets better. We had glimpses of good line speed against the wabbits... Bodes well for the rest of this year!
  • Bitter sweet. Premierships are won on great defence.... and we all know we have the potential for good attack. Watch this space!
  • well summed up embo!!

    hardest part for me on friday will be keeping myself occupied til the delayed telecast starts at 9.30
