Yeah but the Cowboy metres, while Taumololo and Mikaele gained metres, it was all their slippery players like Purdue, Dearden and Drinkwater that made the metres for them by evading tackles etc...
But I agree about the other forwards dominating us in those other games, which creates space behind the ruck for the fast 9s and 1s to run into.
We've won every game we completed at over 80% this year. And while the Cowboys set completions were only 71% against us, we have actually completed far worse twice this year (63% and 64%) and both times we conceded 50.
What I don't get is no one but no one is criticising JR for a style of play that the last coach was ostracised for.Not only is he getting a pass here we have the worst defense in the comp leaking at an nrl record type rate,we also don't have the players to play that way but we are still a well coached side I've red on here.
Now think about that for minute I did have to have a quite chuckle to myself about that one.

They had a higher average set distance, however with better completion, Eels actually topped them in total run meters
