We do score a lot of tries from kicks but it's our defence that's the problem, not the attack (at least when we have a fit squad). saints and wigan are miles ahead of us defensively and I reckon they'll be the ones fighting it out at season's end
Our defence has certainly been poorer this season, our scramble and goal line defence still seems ok and about the same as last year. Think we are definitely softer on the edges (how many times have the wingers jumped out/come in for no reason?) but we also have been allowing teams easy metres as we tend wait once the opposition has ptb instead of moving up as soon as they play it.
