Have to admit, it worries me the number of people championing a Bunty return...

Yes I think he strengthens the team but don't see how he will be the difference between winning and losing.
Actually having some first grade experience makes a lot of difference to that bench, I know he's a limited player overall but can do a job in the middle, that's what we need at the moment.

Come on bro, noone is saying he is going to win us the game or leaping out of their socks 😂

We have leaked sixty points in the past fortnight, and defensive issues are a lot easier and quicker to fix than our offensive issues.

We are getting rolled really bad in that middle period of the game. Bunty holds the middle well in defence and controls the ruck, he adds in a department we have lacked the last two weeks.
 
Care to share the key takeaway for those of us without time to listen to the podcast?
He talked a bunch of flowery crap tbh but some of the points were:
1. Against Saints we had our middle blown out. Against Titans we didn’t, the issue was discipline and then defending good ball.
2. Our system is fine, the problem is our patterns/shape in defence.
3. Defensive patterns usually break down from a bunch of micro factors rather than a single thing. Eg is Berry checking on Shaun a fraction longer due to the traffic going at his injured half and is that making DWZ nervous? Do our edge forwards not trust our bench middles and are a fraction reluctant to push out? Are players playing busted?
4. Webby is smart enough to spot the micro factors and fix them.
