Alarming stats:

I was going through Parra's stats this season, and found a few concerning things.Tries 2.9 (Ranked 15th)Tries Conceded 3.5 ( Ranked 4th)Line Breaks conceded 4.3 (Ranked 2nd)With our "talented" backline, and "big money" forwards this has to be a real concern.I really do believe Mateo needs to play five eighth, with mortimer at half and robson to hooker and horo to lock. Mateo can take the line on and ball play, where as mortimer can work with Hayne as the the go to man for kicks and short passing and they can both follow mateo when he pops those passes in tackles.What do you guys think?

  • maybe its best, but u know it wont happen!
  • Do you realise that conceded means against us? Being ranked highly is a good thing
  • Maybe we should let more tries in to improve our stats, haha.
  • Wouldnt it mean the higher the ranking the worse that is? so 4th would mean that were 4th highest in number of tries conceded i.e. there are only 3 teams that let in more tries than us.
    • No
      • Wrong, we are the 4th best defensive team.
        • thanks for clarifying, it seemed a bit weird to me that we'd be 4th especially considering we're really good defensively so i thought it was a mistake in the stats.
          Makes sense now :)
          • Ladies and Gents, after our last two performances, our stats are truly fucked up now!
  • our defense is fine, it's obvious that we dont have enough creativity coming from our halves, why do somany people on this site get the shits when anyone criticises our halves, I don't get it.......it's admirable to be loyal and a fan, but blind faith is stupidity.

    If our halves were going so great why do you think we;ve fucked around with so many combos thsi tear...shall I go through them for all you guys wh refuse to see the light so here they are, 7 first then 6

    mortimer / robson
    mortimer / kris keating
    mortimer / humble
    robson / mortimer
    robson / humble
    humble / keating

    ummmm if our halves are blameless is our hopeless attacking record over 21 rounds who else should we look at....the fucking strength and conditioning coach, or maybe the bloke that sells hotdogs down northcott lane....please.

    How many clubs would be falling over themselves right now to sign either morts or robson?
