If you had told me that Tommy Talau would become one of the statistically best defenders in the comp when we signed him, I wouldn't have believed you. He's done a great job here.

A few on here will be surprised to not see Garrick here... It's almost as if he's not the team's biggest problem!!!

Also, very clearly our statistics show that missing tackles is not our problem. We're up there with Penrith in terms of the scramble in the defence, and will probably only improve with Tevaga, another of the statistically best defenders according to the eye test. Our defensive problems lie elsewhere.
