I beg to differ to an extent. Are his last play options not an advantage to the opposition?
Not sure about Manly being the better team, I think Manly were the more determined team today.
his stats ref the kicking were horrendous today. I cant recall a lower kick mtr ever and I look at stats most weeks. Shocking in fact.
I suspect one thing that goes to explaining those numbers is the amount of time we spent at Manly's end of the field. I don't feel like we spent a lot of time in positions where we needed to kick out of trouble.
I meant his kick choices. One of his kicks led to a try, his long kicks were pretty good and the bombs were good too.
Exactly. No point throwing up stats if you have no idea what they actually mean. So what Manly had double our kicking metres. Just means that they had to do a f**kload more clearing kicks out of their end than we did
I didn't know this stat. That's even more alarming than his incompetent kicking game. People who defend him consistently point to his great defence but now he's the worst defender in the league?
I don’t think you are giving Manly enough credit. They were much better than last weeks Tigers.
Our field position was much better than Manly’s. He didn’t need to kick huge metres if we were in their half!
Bunnies, Raiders and a draw with Penrith. Haven't been beaten by a cricket score yet, either. Yet to play the Sharks. It's actually better than you're describing, even on paper. Barring a total collapse, we're having our best season in a long time.
Yep, terrible and in the 8. We're not in the top 4 echelon of teams, but we're comfortably in the next rung down. We're absolutely about where we should be on the ladder. If we can steal 4th, we've over achieved a bit. 5-6th is spot on for mine.
