If he can score 20 odd times for our shower of s@#$e last season, he can be as poor as he wants in defence.

It's not like we have a good defence now is it?

The return of Dixon will be a massive boost to the team. Whatever his defensive failings maybe they are far outweighed by his ability to score tries and entertain.
The return of a young player from serious injury is cause to celebrate.
To wallow in abject negativity all the time is quite pathetic.

totally agree eastman

They are all a liability in defence! The tackling technique is pathetic. Seems to consist of flapping your arms at the opponents chest and hoping it stops them.

Dixon would be a huge improvement on all our potential wingers apart from Solomona. Minns looked pretty solid there on Thurs but no real attacking threat.

As I said earlier a back 3 of Mataitonga, Solomona and Dixon would be good in my eyes. Just got to get them the ball!

Apols for the lateness of the post, just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Hive Thurs.

Whilst some may snootily point to the number of fans you have, I prefer to be positive and focus on the passion and atmosphere created.

All the best for the rest of the season (bar two matches !)
