Quote ="Locko's Luck"I agree; for me it's the 'structure' or lack of that's exacerbating the whole situation. I.e. Gleeson defending infield with Obst outside of him. It's not as if he can't defend, he plays at hooker ffs. There's a reason why Briscoe doesn't get caught out often in defence = Yeaman: They're a settled pair and work as such. If teams are throwing the ball wide at every occasion then the centre needs to be out wide to assist "his" winger.'"
Spot on post...! Yeaman grafts 2 get back into a decent defensive position, slides well and helps out Briscoe.! On the opposite side Gleeson had a very poor game today leaving Sharpe high and dry on 2 occasions..!
The knock he took on early on didn't help him, however he did look on occasions not 100% match fit....!
Add to that Obst having a poor defensive game it just re-iterated how weak we were on that side, with brown and Brough playing really well especially in the kicking department they punished us...! Maybe if one of them played well we might have just got away with it...!
