Match Discussion: Round 22 vs Canberra @ GIO Stadium Canberra, Bruce / Ngunnawal

[Loose Cannon]

Hopefully we get simple Jack this week

We get our own simple Jack every week.

Our game is one of the hardest of the round to tip I reckon. Who knows which version of either team turns up. I'd tip us with some confidence at home, but we don't win down there much and I'm still unconvinced we've turned a corner.

Reading some interesting stats:

We’re 3rd for average tries scored (5th in total) this year. Raiders 14th. Both teams with similar defensive stats.

Still watch us lose this game though LOL. Raiders have a real knack for closing out tight games where we have a knack of losing them.

Unsurprisingly we’re also dead last for converting our tries (65%) where Raiders are 1st so their goal kicking is obviously a big part of how they’re winning the tight ones.

I know what our focus will be on over the off season. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ponga/Hastings come back next year as a much better goal kicker after working on it a lot given how much it has cost us this year.

They will try to go through our
Middle. No secret there. Our backline eclipses theirs and then some. If we get our edges right we should win this comfortably.

Weather for Canberra and this time of year is better than it might be, that’s in our favour

Thank you Global Warming!

I think our backs beat theirs like mentioned above but I'm worried about our forwards getting monstered.

 

[Jono078]

This is an absolute must-win game. We lose this and that's our season done.
