Like so many games this year, this is shaping up as a game where the winner will be the team that derps least, and takes most advantage of their opponent's derps...

Yep. That's how he earned 2 Harry Sunderland medals. Padding the stats. Leading offloads and try assists for years for a forward as well, plus quite a few tries himself. All just stat padding.

Lol exactly, becoming champions by stat paddling

Brett finch used to lead the league in try assists most of the years he was at the roosters too. It's a case of just touching the ball so much you wind up playing 5/8.

Offloads is also a stat. Why would you try and use him having good stats as a defence against him being a stats man?

Gallen improved immensely once he wound back his involvement and stopped worrying about getting his 20 hit ups and 3 offloads a game and let actual play makers run the show. It's a big reason why they won last year.

Roosters butcher a try.

Warriors drop the ball.

Roosters drop the wall.

But it was a penalty from the Warriors!

2 minutes of champagne football
