I saw that as well and remembered that last week we only made 8 handling errors as well which is in stark contrast to the start of the season. But I am always confused how we could have more (15) errors than incompleted sets (9). Surely an error equals an incompleted set?

Not really

Burty's two missed intercepts will go down as errors but Parra didn't have the ball so it won't be a incompleted set

So there is 11 errors (9 incomplete sets + 2 missed intercepts)

Not sure where the other 4 came from tho

 

[Hurriflatch]

also, if Manly have the ball and knock on then Parrea try to pick it up but knock on (ie knock on both ways scrum feed Parra) it would be an error without a tackle set getting deemed incomplete

 

[thedux]

I forgot about those. Cheers! Ash's attempt as the tackle count hadn't started might be another one.

 

[Parraren]

I think you'll find that THE biggest key to our win was our organisation on the last tackle. I can't remember one time that we turned the ball over softly on the 5th tackle. We either got to a good kick or we ran the ball and looked dangerous. We were always in good field position because of this and our forwards were able to get on top and force errors. This was the first time all season I can remember seing us look that well organised. Hope we can keep it up.

A could of times Dykes took the wrong option with the little grubber 5m out from the line, one which led to Donalds try...they were dumb options but apart from that the options on the last tackle were pretty solid...we need to do even better against the broncos. We'll definately push em...

 

[Wagonator]

Also, our play the ball was fantastic, how quick were we. Kept em on the back foot. Bring on Brisbane!

 

[The Engineers Room]

Love to see the dominant tackle count. And compare it to recent weeks. We certainly didn't get dominanted as much.

[Hurriflatch]

Very very impressive workload from Stapleton
and strong metres coming off the bench for Pearson

IN this case the stats back up the wraps those two have recieved

 

[eloquentEEL]

it's a good thing a footy field is only 100 metres, otherwise who knows how many metres Donald would have racked up with his long range 'hitup'

 

[The Engineers Room]

Just shows the softness of Manly by the hit up count.

 

[The Engineers Room]

The definition of a hit up should really be changed to when a player is passed the ball and makes metres that way. Must be only 1 or two passes involved.

 

[Hurriflatch]

and about 85 meters ofr Donalds 122 came from his try.
