There’s still a few smaller locks around, Cam Murray comes to mind, and Ivan has a history of playing smaller locks.
Martin is ours.

The wheels of justice...
No end in sight.
With all this non stop talk of SOO and Non-anthem singing did anyone see the attendance figures for last week-end. If I was the NRL I would be worried very worried!!!
One of LU's "special" members.The genius is strong in this one
A month on. Lets see what has changed after 4 wins on the trot against somewhat weakened opposition.
Please note 8 teams have the bye and we have played an extra game than them. So the rankings are a little inconsistent.
Stats via the NRL
We are 15th we it comes to points scored and 16th for Tries scored. Same
15th when it comes to possession up to 7th
Supports 8th 5th

Total kicks 12th same
We are 1st for conversions. same
Errors made. Now the worst
We are the 2nd worst team on Penalties conceded. Now the worst
Set Completion we are the worst in the NRL Same
Post contact metres 7th 10th
Decoy runs 4th 2nd
All runs 15th 7th
Dummy half runs 13th. same
Try assist last. 13th
Missed tackles we are the worst in the NRL. same
Total kick metre 9th 10
Ineffective tackles 14th. 12
We are the 3rd worst for handling errors. Now we are the worst team in the NRL for handling errors.
There have been some improvements over the past month with runs and metres in particular improving. A small improvement for Try Assists, Off loads and a big increase for possessions.
We had made the 4th most tackles a month ago and now we 14th.
While the result show no improvement in Points and Tries scored compared to other teams I feel we have improved slightly over the past month and we are coming from behind in a lot of other categories due to our poor performances in the first 2 months of the season.
However lets not kid ourselves there has been no improvements in Errors, Handling errors, missed tackles and our discipline when it comes to penalties has worsened.
Should we have any shred of hope of finishing the year strong those areas will have to dramatically improve.

Some interesting stuff.
Just for clarity here, you’re comparing the 10 previous games to the now completed 14 games?
Not that I’m asking you to, but comparing the 10 games to the 4 games in isolation might give us a batter indication of the improvement.
It’s posisble we were so far behind in some categories that 4 games isn’t enough to make a decent dent on the stats.
17,000 at Penrith last week.Attendance figures for this time of year are always horrendous.
Sux for Sauce, good for us.
I just wish Kiks would be ruled out as well. We need him firing and a week off would have been ideal.

Nah, these guys love representing their heritage. Better to keep them happy.
