Seeing Dan Ferris get the arse at the Dogs got me thinking...
Should we keep Donny?
I gotta say, we don’t look fit. The single most important ingredient before everything else is line speed. It sets the tone for defence and attack comes off the back off handling the opposition in defence.
Unfortunately, to have, and maintain line speed, you need to be fit. We have some of the poorest line speed in the game. The other thing line speed does, is prevent the opposition attack from having time with the ball to make decisions. Our edges get pulled apart, week in, week out, because we allow the opposition so much time to size us up.
Either the players aren’t playing for Des, or they’re unfit. The intensity in defence is simply not good enough.
This is a bigger problem than recruitment and retention. You don’t lose 38-0 because Des picked a player at centre that we don’t think is good enough. It’s endemic across the board.
