Feel free to shares some fun (or ugly) stats from our regular season that was;
- 2nd last in points per game (17.8). This is our worst attack since 2018 where we won 9 games. However you could consider this worse than 2018 as points were easier to come by this year with the new rules. On average teams were scoring 2-3 points more per game which is fairly significant and the biggest jump year-on-year in a very long time.
- 1st in one-pass hit-ups. Really this should read as last because it's not what you want to be doing in the modern game.
- 4th worst in linebreaks and only 2 ahead of 2nd last, so not great reading.
- 4th worst in tackle breaks. I think our backs contributed mostly to this being poorer than usual
- 3rd worst goal kicking % - Hopefully Clifford is the long-term answer and improves heading into next year.
- 5th best with errors - this is pleasing but perhaps also misleading since we do the most 1-pass hitups. I think it's clear to see what sort of errors we make when playing expansive.
- 1st in discipline - this one is actually the most pleasing so far. We gave away the least penalties. Not sure on 6-agains though?
- =2nd last in decoy runs. Prob because we always play the decoy
- 3rd last in try assists. Also not a shock considering the low points on average and our struggle to set-up tries.
- 2nd best missed tackles. Our defense has been an odd one this year but this suggests our scramble and general D is good. I'd even suggest if our kicking game and position battle was better our defense would have looked a lot better too. We put ourselves under a lot of pressure so to see this stat so good is pleasing.
That ended up being a bit more negative than I was looking for! Positive though, we're in the finals two years in a row!
Feel free to share any interesting stats you've come across this year when t comes to the Knights.
