Forget which side they score on, 4 out of the 5 tries were directly from a penalty. It happens every single week. We simply cannot defend from a penalty. I don't know what happens to the mindset of the team, but I can almost guarantee that in the set of 6 from a penalty, we will concede.
The discipline will cost us dearly.

This seasons bug bearer for me is this one .

And the 5th from a dropped ball in our own half. I was amazed that we held out in that last 5 minutes given what had gone before

How many tries did we score after receiving penalties ?

Our right side defence is a concern but bringing Logan in to shore up a defensive problem certainly isn't the answer.

i don't think it is fonua's fault cause he's Not that bad in defence but I don't think he's fit he's still carrying imo I've notice at the beginning of the season when a ball was kicked he speed off to chase it. Recently its just been more of a Jog

But if we don't change things when players have a few bad games they become complacent. Haven't we had this problem with Yeamo for the last 5 years?

If fonua couldn't defend he'd of played 0 games at centre for Tonga n more so at a Bellamy coached Melbourne team
As I've said it's the whole right combo. Absolutely 0 chance that Fonua could of on his own could of influenced the stopping of any of them scores down that side
Right sides been having trouble long before Fonua got back in the team

Logan not the answer at the moment though needs lots more games at a lower level to learn his trade defensively. If it was to be changed I wouldn't put him in because he's getting exposed at the moment.

Recognised by Fonua, citing change in personnel. Good to read they have each others' backs http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Mahe-Fon ... story.html

just seen the tries, ok franks offload to yeamo for the first try and his pass to naughton looked borderline but am i the only one who thinks the first 4 tries from the dragons were iffy with the ball drifting forward?
