Pressure mounting on North Queensland coach after Andrew Johns claimed their defence "not up to NRL standard"

Pressure is mounting on North Queensland coach Paul Green after Immortal Andrew Johns claimed their defence was "not up to NRL standard" in their 42-16 thrashing by an injury-hit Sydney Roosters

10 July 2020 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

Johns believes Green should be the man under the most pressure after his team leaked 42 points for the second straight week to slump to their fifth loss in six matches.

Johns labelled the Cowboys' effort was "under-10s stuff" after the hosts missed 32 tackles, made 10 errors, and conceded 10 linebreaks.
