I was thinking this feels like 2015 all over again.

Chin up people, we may actually be insane rather than just dumb.

 

[Panfa]

Cleary takes son from semis and origin to wooden spoon would be the headline.

LOL@Penriff.......

To think we currently have a sponsor and frozen food distributor calling the shots at our club is insane. It is with his leadership we are in our current predicament. We have in the last 6 months lost 2 of the greatest football minds in the current game, to instead under Mr Abcoes leadership put all of our faith in a coach who hold the lowest winning record in the game atm. I have faith that CLEARY May be a good coach but every successful leader has mentors that they can count on. Who at our club atm do we have? A man who sells cheesecakes and a man who ran Hawkesbury race club? Who do we currently have that will seal a potential signing? Sell this club?....Zero. We need football people running a football club. Simple..

But he's Dave's mate. That has to make it a great selection process!

JFH another long term recent resigning and arguably our best player thus far in 2019 is an average player at best so Im not sure what that says about where we are at as a club long term.

Not fair. This bloke has given his all this year. Yesterday wasn't his best, that's all. He'll walk into the NZ side.

 

[martielang]

Was ridiculous we didn’t give Waddell a run last year when he returned from injury instead of persisting with a badly out of form CHN. Looking like some player.

 

[panther.mike]

It may be idiotic but is it true?

He missed the 1st 15 weeks or something. Given we had to get an exemption to play Ellis if he was fit Waddell would of played

 

[Thirsty Panther]

After 8 rounds Panthers have scored 18 more points than Latrell Mitchell.

 

[Panther_Daz]

We are averaging 33.6 tackles in the opposition 20m zone per game in 2019. This is the highest in the NRL.

How many dropped balls do we have in that zone? I swear everytime someone is near or over the line it results in a mistake.

Vs Raiders Kikau and Martin definitely made them. Blake has had a couple over the line. Outside of Jack Bird I doubt any team has as many guys who bomb tries as we do.

The stat measures only tackles made. It would be more if we didn't make errors.

Line Break assists 14th.
4th for Tackles made.
Total kicks 12th
We are 1st for conversions at 91% Yay. Helps when you don't have to convert many.
Errors made we are the equal 2nd worst team in the NRL. The Roosters have made the same number of errors as us.
We are the 2nd worst team on Penalties conceded.1 behind the Raiders.
Set Completion we are the worst in the NRL The Roosters are 15th. The Roosters having the 4th best defence helps them.
Post contact metres 7th
Decoy runs 4th

Conclusion we stink.

How are our post contact metres high while our run metres are so low?

Looking at the numbers for both... We average 1450 metres per game. 450 of them are post contact metres. Nearly a third of our metres gained are post contact.

Not sure how that works. I think it's a reflection of slow service from hooker possibly?

 

[snickers007]

Our run metres are low cause we are camped inside the opposition red zone all game. The defensive line is up in our face all game, and as we can't get over the line, our metres gained looks low.

Not a true reflection of our go forward IMO, but certainly a reflection on how poor our halves are going at creating point scoring opportunities.

 

[Pomoz]

We are also full of players who are strong ball carriers. Say what you like about DWZ, Mansour's and Blake's speed, they take a lot of pulling down. They just can't run out of sight on a dark night.

A long slow wrestle in the ruck may improve post contact metres but it slows the play. We emphasise the strong carry too much. Hard, fast hit the deck is what we need. If you are going to go slow and strong, then FFS offload to create opportunities.

 

[Luke Bowden]

I know plenty of people have been saying it, but now I’ll take my turn.

Surely now with these injuries it’s time to promote some young guns and give them some NRL experience.
Too and Billy Burns would be my preference.
