Go forward

Anyone got the stats for our forwards?

Be it metres, offloads, whatever how do we compare against every team we’ve played this year?

Without any data to back this up I feel our metres gained is the worst in the NRL. That’s a subjective opinion with no data to back me up. Please prove me wrong. 

Any discussion around any of our backs, in my opinion is moot. Our forwards are completely diabolical. The worst in the NRL easily. 

Nothing happens in rugby league unless your pack is making yards. It’s a simple game at its core. Our forwards are a disgrace. And sorry BA, I’m a fan of yours but you’ve had 4.5 years to build this. This is 100% on you. 

We have effort but not the class of forward. That’s 100% our problem. We are awful.

    Mannah ran for 143 metres 

    Alvaro ran for 139 metres, both the most of any forward on the park tonight 

    Everyone else was under 100 in our forward pack

      Gutho 113m I think mannah had a decent game for some one that gets written of day by day he’s hard to put on his back too

    These forwards unfortunately can't dent the line and get man handled, simple as that. hard to play when defence is in your face all game. you need to drive/dent the line back to get fast play the balls. Its boys playing against men.

    Stats for our pack, whole pack made 195 meters combined!!

    Arthur says “the effort’s there”. I don’t see it. 

    Lack of effort and energy is the big issue.

    Gutherson had 11 runs. More than the rest of the spine put together.

    Alvaro had plenty of hit ups and got absolutely no where even our great leader timmy puts this bloke to shame.
