Tough marker. We had no ball. Last yr we concede 30.Our defence is round 1 was terrible IMO.

And raiders actually played fairly well I thought. Much better than they did this week (no Schneider, no Cotric)Tough marker. We had no ball. Last yr we concede 30.
Yup. Agreed. Fitz did an amazing job signing both of those guys . Good coaching.Playing Finucane and McInnes is a great way to improve teams defence

I get it that we’ve signed two excellent defenders but let’s say we had them through the Morris era. Would our defence have been better or is it Fitz’s structures that are doing the job? Essentially what is the difference between the defence of Coach Morris and Coach Fitzgibbon?Yup. Agreed. Fitz did an amazing job signing both of those guys . Good coaching.
Mate you can tell the difference after these two games easily. Line speed is vastly improved. You can tell when they’re shifting they’re working as more of a collective and they’re spacing is really consistent.going needs more games to make a call our defence. and what the fitz factor is like, too early. we know he is defence orientated. Wado spoke specifically about the defence on NRL 360, but I wasn't listening at the time with distractions around me
Under Fitz we havent seen the players fold or crumble under pressure and it looks like they’re taking it much more personal about letting teams score tries. Sometimes it’s about the the coach getting the players to play for something bigger then themselves and some coach’s do that really good.I get it that we’ve signed two excellent defenders but let’s say we had them through the Morris era.

By a margin too. Last year, all the teams had to do was to be around our 20-30m line to score. It was very rare that they returned empty handed.Last year I reckon we lose both games
The team was decent defensively under Morris in 2019. Just couldn't ever get the spine all healthy at the same time so struggled to score points/maintain pressure.I get it that we’ve signed two excellent defenders but let’s say we had them through the Morris era.

100% yeah i did see it in the parra game, but I'm a few more games type person...need to see it more then I will say that!!! LOLMate you can tell the difference after these two games easily.

Can only imagine how much better it’ll be in 5 or 6 weeks when McInness is less rusty and him and the overall defence is more in sync.

One of your best, Gards
Spot on bro
I am nervous about Hynes and Nikora. The rest of them have been good.our missed tackles are alarming, but is anyone nervous about conceding on our line? we hardly crack and our scramble is incredible
once we have our pigs back fit and healthy we will be a tough, rugged team, i honestly cant wait for some testing games
Do you know what % we had the ball both games ?As it stands right now we have second most missed tackles and most ineffective tackles and we have played two probably mid-table teams.
But we have a substantial lead on most line breaks (14 next best is 10) and also lead tackle breaks.
So our defence is still **** but our offence is better?
