i'd noticed earlier this year we appear to have done away with the two full backs thing we used to do in '11 and '12, that used to be perfect for dealing with kicks, not many teams managed to get around us, so not sure why we stopped doing that.

Charge downs seemed to have been toned down too.

As well as putting Robinson under pressure he actually came flying out of the line at least once to nail the attacker when Hudds had the overlap. Its just a shame this is an exception to the rule.

Has Riley been instructed not to drop back as often? Monaghan always seems to drop back. I first noticed this in the Saints game a few weeks ago. They constantly just kicked to the space riley should have been in.

It's kind of a credit to our defence that teams are in the position on the field to be even attempting them.
