Three teams held to zero so far this year - two of them by us

[easts4eva]

While it's nice to hold sides to zero, it's not something the team should focus on imo. Let's focus on good defence rather than needing to keep teams to zero. Then if our defence comes close to the 2013 side, maybe we can think about it.

I mean this in the sense that it's pointless as an aim if the boys crack as soon as a few points are leaked. Id rather them be able to refocus.

I think it's a psychological milestone.
I always like to think if you can keep em scoreless by the 60min mark you should win regardless if they cross in the last 20mins.

Six zeroes.

I need a tissue.

Surely good defence and holding teams to zero are not mutually exclusive.

I think holding teams to zero should be EXACTLY our focus.

Agreed .... My thoughts are that if the goal is to hold a team to 0 it will offer more urgency in defence than ..... maintaining good defence?

I think every teams aim is to keep the opposition scoreless.

The biggest beneficiary to keeping the other side to nought; is for our for and against in a very even competition. Could be the difference between, top eight/four/minor premiership

You can see the attack starting to take shape. Will be scary come finals time once it clicks. The most pleasing thing is our defence this year.

One swallow does not a summer make.
I stand ready to eat humble pie.

Because that's the first time we've shown any kind of defensive proficiency under Trent Robinson?

You're using it wrong...
