Player and team stats from today

[Guest]

Very rocks and diamonds, some players made a lot of hard yards, but the missed tackles and lack of variety in attack is really hurting us. Anyway, here we go…

1\. Tedesco - 226 metres in attack, 1 line break, 3 tackles, 2 missed tackles, throw in a couple of errors too.

2\. Nofoaluma - 212 metres in attack, 1 line break, 8 tackles, 7 missed tackles

3\. Idris - 110 metres in attack, 12 tackles, 1 missed tackle

4\. Naiqama - 75 metres in attack, 1 try, 22 tackles, 6 missed tackles

5\. Suli - 160 metres in attack, 5 tackles, 2 errors

6\. Moses - 102 metres in attack, 1 try assist, 18 tackles, 5 missed tackles

7\. Littlejohn - 28 metres in attack, 21 tackles, 7 missed tackles

8\. Woods (56 minutes) - 139 metres in attack, 26 tackles

9\. McIlwrick (70 minutes) - 37 metres in attack, 35 tackles, 3 missed tackles

10\. Seumanufagai (44 minutes) - 83 metres in attack, 23 tackles

11\. Aloiai (80 minutes) - 83 metres in attack, 23 tackles, 5 missed tackles

12\. Lawrence (43 minutes) - 50 metres in attack, 22 tackles, 2 missed tackles

13\. Taylor (76 minutes) - 57 metres in attack, 48 tackles, 2 missed tackles

14\. Grant (43 minutes) - 100 metres in attack, 28 tackles

15\. Sue (34 minutes) - 107 metres in attack, 12 tackles, 1 missed tackle

16\. Chee-Kam (39 minutes) - 96 metres in attack, 15 tackles, 1 missed tackle

17\. Ballin (12 minutes) - 9 tackles, 1 missed tackle

Possession: 53%
Completion rate: 79%
All run metres: 1665 vs 1548

Tackles: 332 v 370
Missed tackles: 43 v 33
Drop outs: 2 v 3
Penalties conceded: 9 v 8
Errors: 10 v 7

Looking at these stats you start to wonder how we ended up losing so convincingly. It just goes to show how critical missed tackles are, and how directionless our attack is.

Two games in a row in which the stats have been in our favour and yet we've lost.
Lack of conditioning, poor structures in attack and defence and the spine being woeful are major contributors.
The pack matched the vaunted Dragons pack fairly well - the lapse for McInnes's break notwithstanding.

my biggest issue is Penalties conceded:

I think IMO Grant and Sue are guilty the most

Lucky JLJ can defend, would have hated to see his miss tackle count if he was as bad as Brooks. Our forward defence is weak as

 

[Milky]

10\. Seumanufagai (44 minutes) - 83 metres in attack, 23 tackles

11\. Aloiai (80 minutes) - 83 metres in attack, 23 tackles, 5 missed tackles

12\. Lawrence (43 minutes) - 50 metres in attack, 22 tackles, 2 missed tackles

Laughable really.

TBH this is waht happens when we come up against hard forward packs. We lack players that stop people at the line and we lack penertrating runners other then our wingers.

We need hard running back rowers and a prop with mongrel.

His defence sucks. He got bumped off a lot of tackles today. No better than Brooks in D and worse in attack.

Painful to watch.
Coaches and players not up to the mark I'm afraid ….. no one has learned anything!
This team has no heart!
