I'll go one step further......without GREAT defense you will lose.
But the secret winners are DISCIPLINE (through on field Leadership).....silly mistakes, penalties, drop balls, etc minimised - Parra certainly have made MASSIVE strides in the last 2 weeks
and LAST PLAY options....keeping the opposition under the pump, especially well placed pressure kicks...
Both of these + defense keep the pressure on...defense keeps the castle protected but DISCIPLINE and LAST PLAYS are the polish that earns the victory
Parra have been outstanding in ALL 3 critical, match defining and winning phases in the past 2 weeks
Our defence has been the most pleasing part about our evelution into a serious footy team. That old saying is true "defence wins games/premierships", attack will find away to get through by tiering the opposition out. The Eels will go a long way to making the finals and winning a premiership if they keep defending the way they have been.
"Coryn, Gus is great. Respect. But facts before bias. The spine matters. He's still sorting the spine after 5yrs or so. Ours is more settled after only a year or so without sugar daddies & Gus' 50yrs of networks.
"Not in this case the stepping stone is perfect for them not us why would we be paying market value for that.Demand doesn't fall into this conversation because we've basically given them what they want.
We've just lost an international calibre half…"
