Rumours and Stuff

[Gary Gutful]

Do we actually have any stats about what percentage of our 101 tries came from kicks? I couldn't find any figures.

I would say the percentage would be pretty close to the actual number.

Someone said our attacks fine.
If you accept that 1/3 of time it isn't good enough and happy with that then great. We also lost games when scored more then 2 tries but the point is 3 tries will win you a lot of games. 2 won't.

But how many other teams win with less than 3 tries?

We scored third most tries. Our attack is fine. It could be better, but we are hardly Robinson Crusoe there. How many tries do you reckon Canberra scored in the whole finals series?

I’m just waiting for the geniuses to let me know how many points 2 and 3 tries total respectively.

500?

Boosted by plenty of blow outs
We had games where we blew the ass end out of teams. 50 point wins.
Canberra have not the team to score blow outs but still had 6 games where scored 2 tries. And 2 of then in the finals.They managed to win 3 of those.
Could say 7 vs 4 games that held to two tries in regular season. Yet we scored more tries.

[Bazal]

Great stats, now how many other teams won games scoring two or fewer tries?

More importantly, what were the crowd figures in those games?

So you agree that sometimes your attack can be a little off if your defence is up to the task?

So Canbra’s attack also isn’t good enough? What about the other 14 teams? Give us their stats

 

[Joshuatheeel]

So we were to fatigued to score points in the second half, but we were fit enough to not allow the score to blow out. Makes sense

A lot of the time attack comes down to making the right decision at the right, making the right pass, the correctly weighted kick etc etc I suspect fatigue affects this process/decision making a lot more then tackling.

Defence is normally about getting your body in front of the attacker / it’s all about effort. It doesn’t normally involve split sec decisions like attack does,

My question was far more clear cut. Yours is a range of 8 to 18 points. Heck flying in the face of @hindy111 2 tries could even equal 3 tries

And the reason they’d be the same is kicking!

Get your own f**ken lackey!

Melbourne WWWLLL (6 games - 3 wins, 3 losses)
Sydney LLLLLLWW (8 games - 2 wins, 6 losses)
Souths LLLLLLL (7 games - 0 wins, 7 losses)
Canberra LLWLWWL (7 games - 3 wins, 4 losses)
Parra LLLLLWLL (8 games - 1 win, 7 losses)

I was going to keep going but I have already provided enough data to suggest that 8 games where you score 2 tries or less isn't that bad when compared to the top teams. Its going to happen sometimes. Its going to happen even more regularly for the teams below Parramatta.

Probably not that much of a surprise given we scored more tries than all but two teams.

So Hindy, what exactly was your point again?

That our attack isn’t good enough, or was that Freeky, but I’m not sure what he’s comparing that to. Perhaps AFL teams. They regularly score over 100 points.

Not many tries but. And a f**k ton of kicking

That Latrell would improve our attack and with him we win more games.
PERIOD

No. My point is of our top 13 only one spot can be improved. That is centre.
Yes on the bench we can improve all 4 spots if we chose.
If we get Matterson and have Lane then prob little point signing another 2nd rower.
Signing another middle means less mins for JNR and RCG who both should get 50 each for money there on.
I'd prefer Latrell 800k over MJ 350k with Terepo 150k on bench for 20 mins rather then MJ and another 600k prop.

I suppose you’re right. I mean Latrell helped Rorters attack score more than 2 tries this year right?

Sydney LLLLLLWW (8 games - 2 wins, 6 losses)
Parra LLLLLWLL (8 games - 1 win, 7 losses)
