That was also the try after the ball hit the ref. The NRL will come out and say there were mistakes but they did get the result they wanted.

Haven’t been following much lately, where was Kenny Edwards?

18th man

18th man

Surely we need his spark. We looked ordinary after the 30th minute.

Sorry Pou, but what's tackles per run? They're either running or tackling aren't they?

I suspect it’s a measure of work rate whilst on the field. Willy Mason types who bludge in D would get a low score.

Having said that, if Toumolololololo ran 200m you might forgive him for having a low TPR.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

OK, so yesterday when the panthers starting pack had no ball of course their tackles per run were high. All they were doing was tackling in the first 20mins.

Possession swung back however and ended up 53% Panthers.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

But couldn't a high figure just mean they do lots of tackles and no running. This seems like a stat that could too easily be taken out of context.

I agree it’s a poor measure of a player’s contribution and worth to a team. Pou needs to find a better KPI.

Bunch of f**king Loosers!!!


@Noise can you write an upset letter for me mate???

Not playing but still offering more than Matagi and Scott.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Just wondering, who were the forwards on the right edge? Those idiots made Kikau look like Sonny Bill Williams.

 

[strider]

Our halfback spending 25 minutes out of the game didnt help either

When Kikau was on Takarangi was our right edge forward for the most part.

Reckon Kenny would of done a better job.

Hopefully he gets the chance on Sunday.

And Norman was also down, only had 11 players defending.

 

[eel01s]

We need to fix up that period 5min before and after half time. We always tend to leak points then.

Three poor calls hurt us:
1. Moses sin bin. He made an attempt to be square. Penalty sufficient. Watch how this will not be consistently policed after a few weeks.
2. Kick through that hit ref. Should have been a scrum with us having the feed.
3. Try to Blake not checked by video ref.

Does anyone know why Nornan went down after he put the kick through? We only had 11 in defence and of course they scored straight away.

 

[hineyrulz]

What was the penalty count after about 30mins???

About 8-2 to them plus a sin bin, doesn’t make it easy.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Is it actually the rule if a kick hits the ref, there is a scrum?

Yep to the attacking side, so that call was massive. 6 points and a bloke in the bin.
