Stats... : Sat Jun 29, 2019 7:51 am
I think sometimes stats can say a lot about how a game has gone...they can give false impressions at times too but looking at last nights it just highlights what a team effort it was...so many times this season I’ve seen lopsided stats where certain players look to have given everything against players who look to have given little...I’ve seen games where the likes of Fifita have taken the ball in 20 plus times while other forwards have taken it in 5 or 6...Last nights forwards...carries and metres gained...including Randell and not Wood as he had a spell at 13...
Fifita...11 for 81
England...13 for 64
Randell...11 for 124
Kopczak...10 for 85
King...11 for 68
Pauli...11 for 100
Crowther...11 for 61
Tanginoa...13 for 168...
Now Randell and Tanginoa both had around a 50 metre break in there’s but take those off and what a well shared out shift that is...it’s almost as if it was a perfectly executed plan to share the workload...
Hampshire, Miller and Brought all ran more than I’ve seen this season collectively too...50 carries between them...was a great all round team performance!
As I thought at the game last night and commented Hampshire, Randell and Crowther the three stand out players and the stats seem to back that up with Hampshire running for an impressive 138 metres from 21 carries and proving a constant threat while Crowther 2nd in the tackle count with 36 with just one miss...took the ball up strong too and got a well deserved try...Randell top tackler, heavily involved and a hat-trick!
