Defence has been the most impressive improvement for me.
It has come leaps and bounds the last 5 games. The way we are defending now compared to the trials and the first 4 games its like a complete different team.
The good teams know defence has to come first before attack and if you dont enjoy defending then you will not go far. Finally for the first time in a few years the boys look like that actually enjoy defence and the heads are not dropping when mistakes are happening.
I'm still unsure whether we are a realistic contender this year, storm and panthers still feel like another level and the panthers did put a score on us a few weeks ago. But no longer do i feel like we will battle for the spoon. if we can keep this up we deserve to be around 6-4 by the end of season.
And kevie absolutely deserves credit for that. lets hope he keeps improving because if he ever manages to make it to the big one with us it would be a massive story that not even the nswrl can downplay. And we all know the NRL like to favour the feel good stories on grand final day
This team is a LOT better than the one that lost to the Panthers, and we pushed them the entire first half. I look forward to playing the Panthers and Eels again...we have some square ups to take care of.
Storm, I'm still not confident. We have been their bunnies for 15 years apart from the odd win, though they are certainly looking more beatable than most years.
