Rd 21 v Bulldogs

[Chins get the wins]

You have to earn a spot based on strong NSW cup form. Riki has barely played and Mav sadly has been a little underwhelming.

I‘m not a huge Garner fan but time to give him some decent minutes.

I only get to see the TV games but I've seen almost nothing from Mav

Kikau and JAC are both out! I expect an absolute mauling!

If that happens, their supporters could cite they were undermanned. I sort of feel for them.

Fox out helps them

 

[Goonji]

I just want a win with no injuries or charges and keep their attack under double figures.

Deon didn't play Flegg.

Peachey should come on to the bench.

Sold out game on a sunny day

 

[Iamback]

Probably too late in the season now. Especially for someone as conservative as Ivan

Neither option is very good, There are reasons NSW Cup is sitting mid table

Sorry to hear mate. My prays and thoughts are with you'se.

An interesting thing about our completions is when we are down, or parity with the opposition. We most of the time. Lose.
Apart from the Brisbane game, which is an outliner. Us 78% to their 76%

We lost.
Souths 85% to us 82%
Parra did an insane 95% to our 85%
Tigers 90% in the rain to our 78%
Cowboys 84% to our 80%

The game we stole against the Knights was very low. Us 73% to their 67%

We got away with below-average completions against the Dolphins. Their 81% to our 76%

I could make excuses for a few losses. With a dumb penalty given away at a crucial moment, or a player going off injured late in the game. creating a weakness that was exploited. Or a brain explosion.

We lead the comp with completions. 82 is our season average. Anything above that is gold.
4 of our 5 losses teams had to not only exceed their season average but rise above our average benchmark.

Here is an article outlining why completion rates aren't that important in the NRL. There is minimal correlation between winning and completion rates, provided they are above 75%. I guess lower than that and you don't have enough ball to create any pressure. https://www.theroar.com.au/2023/07/...s-do-the-stats-say-are-overachieving-in-2023/

Beating the clock. Looks a training run so far.

Dogs have a long way to go. I think they are the worst team in the comp in terms of staying in the contest. They have an aversion to getting into the grind of the game.

Yeah no easy games in the NRL........
