just look at who has conceded the least points so far this season......

brough is brilliant in defence for me....i think grix is poor though in this area

cudjoe is brillant in the air...need to use more bombs aimed at him!

Brough's one on one tackling is great and he hits hard for his size, but defence isn't just about being able to tackle. I would never suggest he's a bad defender, simply that when we concede down the right quite often Broughy has misread the play. I would suggest that this is more a concentration thing than anything else, (which is why Cudjoe is important), because against the better teams he seems to make better decisions more often.

People need to remember though that defensively we are up there with the best and if nobody made mistakes on defence RL would be a very boring game.

We have the best defence in the game, lets not go over board here.

I've said this a few times about broughy - our defensive strength is the way we hold the line -the number of times I've heard people shout "get up to em" when they advance steadily in straight formation - which works so well. But broughy can occasionally shoot out of the line which leaves a hole which has been utilised a few times by opposition this season.
I agree about the fact that most teams attack down that side-but I also think that the defensive line leaves too large an overlap at times-all it takes is a cut out pass (which Unlike last year kev doesn't seem to be able to control this season!!!!)

yes kev brown has sent too many passes over georges head !

if only we had brett hodgson to do his cut out passes....

Which ones, those which cut out the opposition or those which cut out our players and went straight into touch!!!

Actually I think Kev has had some tough calls from refs this season, many off his passes called as forward are no different to ones let go by all teams

I'd suggest anything remotely flat by the opposition gets a good shout of "forward"

I wasn't talking about those called forward- I meant those that miss completely!!!!

i knew what you meant!

Maybe you should look at your left hand defence too whilst your at it

All in all it seems Brown got his gameplan totally wrong, from selection to tactics

he does get it wrong sometimes.... and it seems when the writing is on the wall and we are losing there is no plan B.... like hull kr earlier in the season
