Great post's by everyone & I think correct about a designated defence coach. We looked tighter in defence with Kear concentrating on that aspect. When Kear left the club stated that Gilmore worked very close with Kear & the players so I am happy to think give Gilmore a chance !
Just to add to this overall discussion & next season !! All the NRL coaches in super league have stated that they, they're teams are going to get fitter, much fitter in the close/pre season. We were at our most fitness pre-season with Brian Smith & Chester benefitted. Since then we have not been as fit & especially for 80 minutes BUT we have played far better attacking rugby ??
I know most people think we are fit enough but can we play at the level of the grand final teams, consistently ??
This we must do in order to be top four next !!
Up the Trin - Trin for ever, better seasons to come !!
