Agree this part of our game looks very bad at the minute

But a lot stems from the defence in the middle ending with being out numbered on the edges. As long as we outscore the opposition I don’t see it a problem

Think Jowitt should have a word with Mr Chester to tell him how it's done . He got across 4 times in the second half to stop overlaps

Another thing to point out is Johnstone is only just back from a long time out and already in four games he’s had three different centres inside him...give it time...as long as we win does it really matter?

Sometimes, it can matter a great deal. Points for and against at the end of season dictates the league placing. Last season was a good example, our superior points difference against the other bottom clubs put us in a stronger position of not being relegated had we lost against London last game of season.

We just need Miller to do the same on the other side

That's not how it is done. It should be a slide of the whole line.
If Max is running past people to make a tackle he is covering poor performance by someone.

correct
I'm sick of seeing the wing man come shooting out of defence to either join in the tackle or to have no other option but to tackle the man with the ball as he's not been tackled by the centre or another and see walk in tries, the concertina effect to give a more solid defence doesn't work if it can't slide to either edge quick enough, I was always told to man mark the winger in defence and drift out wide in attack hugging that line. I never had anyone run pass me like them two tries

I think after all this time we would have improved our defence because currently our attack is not good enough to compensate for our wide defence. We could try maybe some simple math lessons because if there are three attackers and only two in defence you are in trouble.

I'm not having that - it's mathS - not math; this is not the U of ruddy SA!

When I played it was creating the overlap. If this diid not happen the wingers would never be put away down the touch line. Most games I watch this appertains and opposing defences are left outnumbered. In my opinion it is the team who has the most skilled , dominant attacking players creating the said overlap , rather than the deficiencies in defence.
