The pre season game at Marvel was the last time we met- we lacked defensive pressure and they smashed us

More resemblance to current squad than the game last year - Preuss in the ruck?  It also represented an attempt to use the new game style against them (ineffective).

That pre season game, it was just the third quarter that we were hammered in. Rest of the game was even.

The side above has Brayden Pruess in it. So it cant have been the preseason game..
