“Get the music out, the circus has been playing for a while”

Does anyone understand what the f**k Corey Parker is talking about? He has the brain capacity of a gnat.

He is still bright eyed and bushy tailed after SOO, which in his own mind gives himself poetic license to annoy anything in the universe that has ears.

Give it another 2 weeks until he gets told to STFU.

Only Roosters missed more tackles than Penrith this week.

Penrith you losers, 50 missed tackles that’s pathetic.

I know this is a shit post, but my old theory was that one missed tackle was worth one point against. For whatever reason this doesn't seem to hold for the Penrith defensive scheme.

While a poor stat on the weekend, I think the Penrith defensive scheme isn't built around effective tackles on the edges.

It looks to me like there is a deliberate strategy to try and slow momentum and ruin any 'crispness' of an opponent spread. Essentially the first tackle can be missed but if the effort disrupts the timing of the attacking play it is still a 'win'.

However middle defence goes to shit whenever Salmon, Kenny and Luke are on the field at the same time.

Congratulations refs on completely ignoring a high shot. If that was Kafusi he’d be in the bin and 4 weeks

Thank the NRL that you're not playing us next week.

Have you been in a coma and just woken up? Hosking has been great in 90% of the games he has played in. Wake up to yourself.

I'm sure Hoskin copped a friendly fire injury. I'd also like to know how many tackles he got through.

What’s it like … losing that is

LOL!

NRL missed tackles Dolphins 36 Panthers 43
Fox missed tackles Dolphins 43 Panthers 32.

What does that tell you about missed tackle stats?
