  • So, 3/8 of the Top 8 missed more tackles than the Eels. 

    • Can you please express this using percentages Daz

       

      • 37.5% of the Top 8 are about as bad as the Eels for missed tackles. Or, 50% of the Top 4 are about as bad as the Eels for missed tackles. Put differently, even if the Eels make zero improvement in their missed tackle count, if you tossed a coin once they have just as much chance making the Top 4 as not. Thus, why bother getting better at tackling, if it's no better than random chance to get you into the Top 4?

        • What does missed tackles per game correlate to?

          Saints were the best — they missed least tackles per game — and came third-last on the ladder.

          Panthers were third-worst & ended up with the third-best defence. Talagi missing 6-10 tackles a game doesn't help the stats...
