Scott has never been noted for his attack, though, apart from one tremendous season in 2013, I think.
When Bennett was at the Knights.
His efforts and work-rate come in defence and defensive awareness, to make the players around him better defenders.
But the rest did struggle to make metres, that's for sure.
For whatever reason, they couldn't make the inroads.
Wicks go forward was tremendous and to finish with that many metres off the bench was tremendous. Only Cartwright made more metres than Wicks.
Thanks Ricky great read again mate.
Cheers, Snake.
Appreciate it.
He's got the go-to man for stats accolade right now.
But I'll get to that mantle one day.
My question is why was the crowd figure so obviously wrong? I don't understand why the official figure was 15600 when in reality there were over 18k at the game. What does anyone have to gain by from publishing a stat that was so obviously wrong?
Crowd figures are always fluctuated up or down. Why, I don't know.
Telling factor indeed.
That is what contributed to losing the game. Can't miss that many tackles in the second half and expect to win.
Exactly. Sam McKendry had a great impact towards the end, and our guys were just arm grabbing. Beau Scott's 4 missing tackles sums it up really. He usually doesn't miss a single tackle.
