Our Marker Defence

Is it just me or was our marker defence non existent today ? Time and time again smith just seemed to be doing what ever he wanted which cost us big time , also while I'm on the defence rant our middle section looked very ordinary !!!

  • My biggest concern is defending the kick into our in goal from 10 metres out ! Both the cowboys and the storm scored a couple of tries against us using this play. Means the fullback was out of position. - Hayne.
    • He was caught out twice because he made try saving tackles about 10m out and had to stay at marker. You can't blame him as the minute Melbourne saw that they kicked behind the line.
  • Watching at AAMI park, our marker defenders failed to get square ALOT.
  • I m with u fathead.. Defending the kick
    It is not easy I know, however they could do a lot better
    So many lucky tries were scored.. But u make your own luck
    Urgency was non existent..
    Cameron smith took full advantage of our sluggish marker defence.
    In the grand scheme of things, I think we probably should of seen this loss coming
    So frustrating
  • I've been saying it from day 1, Pauli is a big offender in this component of the game. Very slow to get up when making a tackle, something to work on throughout the season/off season
  • You can have flair in your attack and score points , if you can not back it up with defence , the attack is useless

"Other way round if it were to be. Penisini is too slow for the wing. 
Wouldnt drop Simo. His hit ups are good and he works hard.
Anyway..Samrani 1st drop for injuries or suspensions. Not bog average Brian Kelly.

"With over 100 nrl games in difference with samrani and will P .  I like samrani puts himself in the game and has a physical presence about it. Will has definitely worked on increasing his pace and defence but Samrani not that far behind him now . "
