Coach Dan Riches said the Chargers had a lot of weapons this season and were fine-tuning their rotations and defence.<\/p>\n
He said the team’s defence had picked up in the past two games.<\/p>\n
“We’ve got guys that are locked-in on how we want to play defence and what our standards are<\/p>\n
“The best part is when we rotate guys in off the bench, we don’t go backwards with that, it increases.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the women’s team is fourth on the ladder with a 3-1 win-loss record in division 2.<\/p>\n
Surf Coast lost to Gippsland United 79-70 at home on last weekend after winning their opening three encounters.<\/p>\n
