Any idea what it is this season? Into the wind, with the wind, all the same to Purdo. I doubt we would have kept them out if we were one score down at the end rather than two.

Purdo is a real pro. Obviously been working hard on his goal kicking. He's moved from OK to good to excellent.

Apparently he has done some work with Chris Malone (Quins RU, although he is moving on to London Irish next season I believe). Whatever he has done it has certainly paid off.

Made an absolute mockery of the conditions.

Thought Purdo was excellent seeing as it was blowing a gale at times out there!

http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... 09&hp2=300 Interesting stat. The only two teams below us are there for obvious reasons!

It cant be the Chris Malone I am thinking of then.
That said he is going to London Irish also

Team average is 85% but don't know how that breaks down by kicker.

Looking at all the teams stats is interesting. For most categories we are mid / low ranking. However, the core strength seems to be minimising mistakes. We don't miss many tackles, make relatively few errors and are extremely well disciplined. Seems like a great platform.

It has to be this way because as BM says we dont get our fair share of penalties from the refs

Only 10 missed tackles all season???? No chance - that count is messed up.

Compare the Missed Goals count with the Missed Tackles count, they're very similar with the latter being the same or slightly higher for every team. MTs count is the MGs count with one more week's matches added in I think. But not the most recent two weeks, this week probably not yet included.
