Everything comes off the back of defence, It's as simple as that. I had an under 12's team that was average at best so all I got them to do was the old " hold hold up " for 40 minutes every training session until the line was working together as one. With the line now staying solid at the mid way through the season and with us in the bottom 2 out of 9 teams our run began. Smaller players and not as skillfull as others but once that line held and the boys started turning them back, confidence went through the roof and YES we won the bloody comp. Now I know there is a lot more to it in the NRL but good defence is the key.
Agree with coach Jim . Defend your way to victory in nrl . If we can sting in defence , plug the terrible middle and keep the penalties to a minimum we can create some damage in the 4-8 positions. I don’t think we have the mental strength to trouble storm , roosters , sharks and raiders but the rest of anyone’s day .
We desperately need a axe liked Finucane or Murray as well as a good legs middle .

Melbourne are now looking like the spoilt brats not getting their way and whinging to mummy and daddy"
