oriented and you've got to have a lot of speed.

Kenty - Paul Kent NRL Podcast
Injury Shock: Limb-Saving Surgery, Medical Retirement & 50-Point Curse

Injury Shock: Limb-Saving Surgery, Medical Retirement & 50-Point Curse

Now, if you look at the teams that are doing well, they've all got speed and they're all, they're all driven around attack.

Now, Penrith, to be fair, are also doing their job defensively.

But the teams that have been very much defence-oriented in the past, like Melbourne, for example, are really struggling with all these six-againts.

And if you saw the way they defended, particularly late in that second half over the weekend, Melbourne, Melbourne are making defensive errors

The old line, fatigue makes cows of us all, said by a boxing guy.

Kenty - Paul Kent NRL Podcast
Injury Shock: Limb-Saving Surgery, Medical Retirement & 50-Point Curse

And when you get that tired, you just don't want to defend yourself anymore.

Kenty - Paul Kent NRL Podcast

The Storm are having players, opposition players, run past them.

And rather than go that last 1% effort and diving to hit and tackle the player, they're sort of not in sticking an arm out, but they're sort of running towards them.

And it's happened to them, and it's happening to the Bulldogs now as well.

Kenty - Paul Kent NRL Podcast
Injury Shock: Limb-Saving Surgery, Medical Retirement & 50-Point Curse

I think the Bulldogs, who put so much emphasis in their defense, are really struggling to stay in the games because, one, they don't have a lot of pace on the edges, okay?
