I dont get how Ellis cops the blame, surely the players have to be accountable for poor defence as their on the pitch.
Its been pointed out about the upper body grabby technique against Cas , yet lo and behold certain players carried on with it against Leeds.
If players arnt listening to coachs and changing their ways, you generally replace them........
Jordan Lane prime example, needs to buck up or be shipped out.
In Smiths post game comments after the Cats game that’s one of the things he spoke about in regards the tackling efforts/techniques “It’s really hard to get a foothold, particularly when you’re making as many errors as we were and then poor defence and defensive reads/contacts. Our hit and stick was way off there tonight. Not only did it mean an attempt at tackle, it meant two or three attempts of a tackle in one play and that hurt us”.
The positive is we have an experienced Coach who has been there, seen it and done and won’t accept that from the players and will let them know.
We all know this season is about making the necessary changes to the fabric of the team rather than mounting any sort of challenge. I can see a raft of comings and going’s before the 2024 season starts.
