    Default 2018 Team Goals.

    I want to see Brennan sort out our defensive structures once and for all. I am sick of teams just running through yawning gaps on the edges. It has been an issue for this club for longer than Elgey has been in the team so those that want to point the finger at him back up. It happens on both sides of our line and it needs to be fixed.
    Players that have a habit of shooting out of the line need to be told it has to stop and they need to put the team first.

    Defence is not about an individual covering for his mate or making a hero play, it is 13 blokes working as one to defend their line. Until this is sorted we will struggle to improve our ladder position regardless of who we sign.

    So Hurrell to hold the line?

    Hope our Halfs can find a way to work together and define their roles and expectations of each other.

    I think we need far more discipline at marker (always lazy and never set correctly), we always seem to be late getting back onside, our defence also never pushes up they let the opposition run 10m before they tackle them. Agreed with others in being weak defensively on the edges, halves, centre and wing need to be in harmony.

    Would also love to see much more support play, you barely ever see anyone pushing up in support when we make a break or offload (sometimes Elgey when hes on) but other than that it is a big area of improvement.

    Also need better post contact metres within our red zone, half our players get pushed back when they shouldn't. We shouldn't be running Anthony Don or Dale Copley out of our red zone when the opposition defensive line is set, they will get pushed back.

    All of your points come back to the fitness of the squad, hopefully this is now addressed with the new high performance staff on board.

    9-12 with some scalps would be awesome.
