  We do have a few annihilations this year, the roosters and cowboys games spring to mind.
  
  I don't think we lost any games in that fashion by this point last year.

  Weaker forward pack on paper. The team can't hold it together for 80mins. KP has been a big liability. We've missed IDG.

    Poor KP, kid just suffers season ending horrific injury and you have to go put your boot in.

  We conceded about 450 last year - if we can hold it to 10 per game from here on in we will be sweet :)

  The problem with this team is that they have the ability to clock off and let in lots of points in a short period - they did it against the Cowboys (they scored 3 tries untouched in a few minutes) and they have done it in a number of other games where we have had the match won but have then let in soft tries (such as Souths and the Warriors), rather than putting them to the sword.

  We have also copped a heap of consecutive, piggy back style penalties in a lot of games and at the same time received few penalties ourselves. It took us 71 minutes to get one against Saints and against The Cowboys the refs were literally reffing just one side.

  I also reckon our D is way too compressed, although there were big improvements last week - we need to be better in every aspect of defense really - from structure, to attitude, to consistency, to scramble.

   

  I can see improvement though - it will be interesting to see how the cope with the loss of Beau Scott..

    Not according to the official NRL site Kram, thats what im going off, it might be wrong but it states we had 324 against us for last year.
