The stats don't lie - we deserved to lose tonight

[King Salvo]

He tries hard, is experienced...likely doesn't cost a fortune.
He needs to stop dropping the ball from good passes.
Not all our passes are good though, and he's not the only player who drops the ball.

Mark Nawaqanitawase tops the charts with most errors 25 - Handling errors 21

Dom Young was crucified on here for less but crickets about Mark's stats which have proved costly in at least two of those losses in games they should have won - Dogs and Raiders

Mate fair call re Marky mark errors have hurt a lot … however he is 11 games in to league and in attack he has set up tries not just scored them … mark is the future and will improve

Stats?
Don't forget about all the 6 agains Klein awarded them around our 20.
Hard to shine when all you to do is tackle.
Our home game...what a joke.

I'd give Marky Mark the rest of this season to sort out his unforced error issue.

Failing that, it would be see you later alligator, ciao for now, arrivederci.

We pretty much played off the back foot for most of the game and just fell short.

The Raiders are either Shite or we're a better footy team than we think.

It's a fair point.

Gus Creighton and Spencer are the only two c**ts in our team these days. Rads has gone softer due to necessity, and the other blokes just dont have it because they are either too young, or just dont have any c**t in them (Collins, N Butcher). Although we have a good squad, no one is scared of our pack like they used to be.

Unless Robbo told everyone to pull their heads in due to the penalty counts we used to rack up.

Gus is a c--t, Really??

Personally I don't think Gus has a hard edge to his game.

Great player. More a lover than a fighter imo!

Instead of using that sh!t word (c#nt) just use the word grub.
There is nothing wrong with being a grub in Rugby League because there are heaps of blokes who are grubs playing the game & if you dont have a few grubs in your team then you wont win comps.
Thats why I loved JWH because he was a champion grub.

[roosterchook]

And the games we win Robbo has nothing to do with.

Not at all. He has everything to do with selecting and getting our young players to be so good, that good that we can beat the top teams. He just needs to get the errors out of our game.

speaking of stats it's always good to remember that the two most important stats are points scored and points conceded. unless they change the rules and give bonus points for completion rates etc, that's not going to change. talking about not deserving to win if you don't complete at a high level is unnecessarily purist. this is professional sport and there will be times when you get lucky. there's no law against that.

take a look at the socceroos v japan in the recent game.

AUS	Stat	JPN
6	Shots	13
3	Shots on target	1
31%	Possession	69%
297	Passes	640
1	Corners	8

the socceroos lost it everywhere except on the scoreboard - and thoroughly deserved their win. like footy, soccer is about scoring and stopping them from scoring.
