Dominated Stats Yet Lost Game

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

We dominated stats yet lost the game.

55% possession
77% completion rate vs 72%
1950 run metres vs 1514m
5 line breaks vs 4
54 tackle breaks vs 19
15 offloads vs 3
4 forced drop out vs 1
19 missed tackles vs 54 (93% efficiency vs 83%)
Received 8 penalties vs 1
11 errors vs 11

Dragons scrambled better in defence and had better support play in attack. That's all you can put it down to.

 

[LARDS]

From a coaching point of view that's a good sign
Obviously we now got to work on our finishing.

The dragons also were not carrying Gildart

 

[Jimmy]

Our backline just sucked Hopfully Kenny and Simpkin are back

1.Peachy
2.Nofo
3.AJ
4.Toa
5.Kenny

Miles better with a half decent backline we win this game

 

[finnzo]

We ain’t winning the comp this year winning stats like that shows we lack a little bit of class and we have that coming into the side next year

 

[Telltails]

Pretty sure that's not the first time. Just lack sone finesse. There is no doubt the effort is there.

 

[innsaneink]

We complete our sets then hand the ball over meekly,. Apply no pressure

 

[Speed2burn]

It tells me our backs are sub standard ... we dominated that game to win by 20

 

[Blake]

The halves created plenty of opportunities, no one converted the kicks 5 that landed on the try line, no one was fast enough to take advantage of the line breaks.

 

[upthetigers]

Twal's lack of offloads does my head in.

 

[boonboon]

In reality we are missing a full nrl level outside backs
Laurie
Roberts
Talau
Doeuhi
Maumalo

It means our combinations are gone and our strike is gone. Winning the rest of the stats tells me we are on the right track just need some more fit players

We were by far the better team.

But our centers are the worst in the comp...by miles.

Garner tries on D, but offers absolutely nothing in attack. Every attack he is involved with dies or the ball goes down.

And Gildart is not even state cup level.

Honestly, with Staggs and Manu at 3 and 4 we win this game by 20. We need to recruit some centers desperately.

 

[tony soprano]

Bomed a million tries.

Madge failed the team selection again.

Perhaps, Hastings to full back while daine is out. Toa just ain't a fullback and cannot have Gildart in the team.

True that. As soon as the ball landed in To'a's hands, the play died.

 

[Pascoes_barber]

Still unable to score tries.

Won’t be winning games like that regardless of the other stats.

 

[Demps]

Got schooled by a spine of:

1 Mbye
6 Amone
7 Hunt
9 Hunt / Sullivan

Doesn't get much worse than that.

I don’t think we were “schooled” by their spine. A couple of poor moments in D resulted in their 2 tries and we could have had 2 tries as well. I do think our FB and DH offered very little to us in Attack.
Liddle is trying but does not seem to have the fitness to make tackles, run from DH, give quality service or actually be in position half the time. He seems to go missing more often than any 9 in the game and looks out on his feet after 20 mins.

We don't offer enough with the ball. We lack spark.

When they throw the majority of their attack to Gildart and AJ and ignore the strength of the other side..... I'd say they got schooled.

Amones played like a handful of games, Sullivan was thrown in the deep end and Mbye is.... well we all know how good he Is.

All we had to do was shut down Hunt and attack to Nofos edge.

If Big Ken was fit and played he scores at least two tries off those Brooks kicks.
