Possessed *Possible spoiler*

its rather simple for canberra
against manly we handled at about 50% completions, we got pumped
against melbourne, we handled the ball at about 60%, we stuck with them for along time
against the knights we handled at about 75-80% and we won.
against parra we barely cracked 50% completions, we got smashed

If we hold the footy we'll score a plethora of points, spill the ball and we'll get smashed

Parramatta were wearing there 60th Anniversary strip (closest home game to the 60th Anniversary)

..pure genius..hold the ball for more than the other team and you win..but rarely does it work out that way that you have more of the ball for over 60%

He's talking about completed sets not overall possession.

He's talking about completed sets not overall possession.

exactly
its no coincidence that every game we've looked the far better team when we've controlled the ball. Even against manly and parra, when (and it was rare in those games) we held the pill and completed our sets we looked the better team, it was a little more prevelent against melbourne but again, poor ball control at key moments cost us, and against newie he held and completed really well, and they had no answer for our attack

if we complete our sets and i dont think there is a forward pack in the comp who can hold us, with blokes like weyman, tll, costigan, miller, logan and tilse doing damage through the middle and fringes, turner, bickerstaff, withers, thompson and tongue doing the dirty work and one percenters around the ruck, the pack will dominate 9 time from 10, which gives carney and dobson the room they need to work some magic for blokes like best, zillman, graham and soon, goodwin

im predicting this season we will not lose a single game when our completion rate is above 75%. How often that happens though is an entirely different matter. We are woeful in wet weather conditions
