Interesting Statistic

[Peter C]

Over the past ten seasons we have only managed twice, to win our first game of the season.
If we had the same possession and field position as Parramatta had, then we would've won, as a matter of fact they should have put a cricket score on us.

 

[Loobs]

I don't actually have any recollection of us starting well. Not in the Des years, whatever. It's almost like we think the March premier isn't the actual one...

 

[The Who]

No point winning of our trials then.
Most of the teams that played well in trials lost their first round.

Here is another interesting stat.

In the NRL, Blake Green has played 67 games at 5/8. He's won 35 and lost 32......34 of those wins were at Melbourne with Cronk as the halfback.

His last win without Cronk as his halfback partner in an NRL game was Round 4, 2007.

Edit: That game in 2007 (doesn't-matta beat Canberra 38-6) was also Green's debut in the NRL.

Also in 2008 and 2011 we lost Rd1..... and well, you know the rest.

87.5% of statistics are made up on the spot to suit the conclusion of the person quoting them.

its on the internet, it must be true....

It would have been nice to start with a win, If we had controlled the ball we had a great chance to do so. You cant win with only 35 percent of the ball. The resilient defence was great though and if we can keep that up we will be fine this season.

Fantastic

I was going to say that Gutherson was better than Green yesterday but I won't

Here's some interesting Stats:

From round 22, 2014 (When it became clear Gifty would not play for us again) to now we have won 21 games and lost 37 games for a win ratio 36.21%.

Since the current coaching regime took over we have won 8 games and lost 17 games for a win ratio of 32%.

Not a statistic, but by my count we have noted 11 different excuses for those results, which by my calculations makes us a laughing stock.

Barrett's 8 wins from 25 games sticks in my mind. Cheers Ralphie!

Parramatta was better than us yesterday

 

[BOZO]

Parramatta was better than us yesterday

Parra were better???
They had all the ball yet won by only 3 tries to 2.
We let our selves down with our ball control
Bad refereeing also contributed to our one try loss
If we had the same amount of possession I believe we would have won

I agree with your observations.

I would add one thing. Parra were better than us in that they played what was presented and came away with the win. What was presented to Parra may not have been as challenging or difficult as what Manly faced, but that is never counted in any win/loss record that determines table position, final performances or premierships.

Fair enough feathered friend

 

[Narrabeen Laker]

Is there hope ?

 

[Narrabeen Laker]

5 teams from last years top 8 lost the first round .
If we lose to souffs this week I think we have no hope of making the 8

No NSW Premier has gone full term since 1999.

 

[brad]

That defense on our line showed grit and determination. Hang on to the pill and get our attack in gear and we'll trouble every side .
