Metres Gained - Where did it go wrong ?

[Hawkeye]

From yesterdays game - the Roosters made 1188 metres with Manly making 1195. A difference of only 7 Metres.

? Why was the scoreboard so different for us.

The Rooster's stats included the metres travelled from Easts Leagues to the SFS !

? Why was the scoreboard so different for us.When i look at the forward packs of both sides, and look at Metres per minute played. (i think this is a good indication) our forwards actually made 8 more metres and ave 1.44 metres per minute played. (Best = Mose 4.24 metres, Tom Symonds 2.80, Worst (ignoring hookers) Martin kennedy 0.41 , & Boyd 1.10).

So our guys did the same amount of work, but were caned on the scoreboard.

Rooster_6 - i would appreciate your feedback on this.

Cheers

Because we are by far the dumbest team in the long and illustrious history of Rugby League.

Ah that explains everything, thanks Hawk!

maybe someone counted the backwards meters.

lmao

the tony williams chip kick was the difference

How can we let a 120kg backrower the space to kick ?

An even better question would be, how did we allow him a chase without putting any bodies in the way ? From what i remember Symonds is the one who didn't check him.


Then we had mini running in the completely different direction and not attacking the ball. Come to think of it, we would of been better served if he kept running, Forrest Gump style, back to his missus' mansion.

They added metres for ineffective inside passes ... 250 of them x 2 metres = 500 metres.

Our forwards went alright. The scoreline is reflective of the differences between the backlines.

Easy - the difference was the amount of tries they scored from kicks.

Tries from kicks rarely count as errors, missed tackles etc.

Count how many tries from kicks they scored yesterday !

There's your answer.

thats not the difference at all

the difference is that we are inept across the park, in every single position, in ever single play of a set, topped by a poor coaching staff who have little clue in how to improve this side
