2006 we lost to melbin 12-6 in the prelim finals

2007 we lost to the storm in the major semi finals

Anyone remember what was constantly changing between 05-13 that would perhaps hamper the culture of the first grade team trickling down to the juniors?

My memory is not that good. At some point I recal Fitzy saying we are sick of developing juniors we will just do what other clubs do and poach when ready for first grade. It was around this time by memory.

We had a different water boy each year?

Sure. DA saw the problem and went ok let change our playing style. And it worked. Come off. It was risky but it paid off bar the final. And we lost to a team non compliant to the salary cap.

This season we just marched out the same game plan and same garbage.
Valuable lesson for BA. NO RISK NO REWARD. I am confident he learnt from this and understand completions doesnt alone win footy games.
The 5 step shuffle kick n chase wont unlock a defense.

Until this year we passed the ball more than most teams. We got our quick play-the-balls on the edges. This year attacking the edges early stopped working, which is why we had to go through the middle; a style that doesn’t suit us.

I'm not doubting this but where did you find those stats? Particularly for previous years. My regular go to stats places don't show these stats.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That's great, of course fans should be happy with just being an average club popau.

No they shouldn’t but just replacing people, whether players, coaches or CEOs has been shown to not be enough.

@Gronk I see you are a moderator. Is this a new gig?

I’m just going off observation but I’m certain the stats support it. Try Champion Data. I would but I’m away from my computer and doing shit on the phone is too hard

I usually use champion data as my first reference but I’ve never seen a ‘pass’ stat. But Maybe there is.

Also teams have a 2nd rower on the edge able to bust the game open and are a point of attack.All these players are focal points of attack.

Kafusi
Kikau
Cordner
Crighton/Sutton/Murray
Frizzel/Sims
TPJ/Fifita

Frize.l tpj fifta sims domination of game so far....Gee Hindy111 your right

We need a line breaking tackle busting 2nd rower. At worse must start t rex if not sign one.

nrl.com has pass stats although there accuracy may be questionable.

P/O = passes/offloads

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Because there are a lot of shit defenders in the halves of these two teams.

Anyone can do that if he is able to get one-on-one with a shitty defender.

Not true. Guys like I mentioned only need half a chance to create something.

 

[hindy111]

Do you see Manu or Niaukore capable of a game like Sims or Frizell. Or kikau etc?
Never.

Yea but totals? I can only seem to find individual games stats (as opposed to the totals for the year). It would be some effort to add up every P/O for each game for every team and then compare and then do it for previous years
