In 2021 I think we’ve improved our ability to score points, but dramatically regressed in our ability to defend points. And that’s against any team. We need a better roster to compete with the big teams for sure but the current crop aren’t performing anywhere near where they need to be defensively regardless of opposition.
If we were defending like we were last year (including versus top teams like the Roosters and Penrith), with our offensive improvements this year, we’re a competitive top 8 side. Unfortunately the first part of that equation hasn’t transpired.
