I really wished Asi had killed it at centre in the NSW cup and could've slid into 1st grade there.
Superman level stats.
I don't think Oppa wanted to stay. Organised his own contract to play overseas, changes clubs every few years anyway.
Russell. He’s just knows how to find the try line.
To be fair, we are already pretty good at scoring tries.
Obviously not good enough considering we have a win rate of 40% for the season
I think it just means that our defence isn't good enough.
It means we didn’t score more points than the opposition more than half the time so our attack wasn’t good enough either.
That's because we let the opposition score too many points, not because we don't score enough.
But if we’d scored more than the opposition than we would have won. Our “good attack” has been wanting on most occasions when the game has been on the line. If our attack was better during the Storm, Sharks, Sea Eagles and Titans games when the match was on the line then we would have won.
Or if we'd conceded less ffs. There's no point comparing it just to your opposition because then you can't separate your attack and defence. You need to compare it to the rest of the competition, across all games. That shows our attack is much better than our defence.
The game was 'on the line' because of all the tries we conceded before that point. That's a much bigger sample of minutes than just the last five.
If the attack was as good as you say we wouldn’t have repeatedly come up short during the moments the games were on the line.
I’m not saying our attack isn’t better than our defence. I’m saying it hasn’t been good enough to score more points than the opposition 6 out of 10 times so far this season. That’s a fact.
No team can score at will whenever they need to. The opposition is also trying to stop them scoring, and they are doing it for the full eighty minutes, not just ‘when the game is on the line’.
