I make no secret of being a stato/money ball fan but the details from Friday's game tell a story in themselves

Pick of the forwards
Tanginioa deservedly got man of the match on Sky
27 tackles with 3 misses
18 carries for 175 metres and 3 tackle busts
No errors. No penalties

Crowther perfect score in defence
30 Tackles with 0 misses
9 carries for 46 metres
1 error, 1 penalty

Kirmond Top tackler
35 Tackles with 2 misses
7 carries for 56 metres
No errors, 1 penalty

Tangata Effective in attack and defence
26 tackles with 2 misses
11 carries for 84 metres
1 error, 1 penalty


In the backs hard to pick between Brough and Lyne
Lyne
1 Try
24 Tackles with 0 misses
14 carries for 100 metres
No errors, no penalties

Brough
1 Assist, 3 goals from 4, 1 DG
12 Tackels with 0 misses
6 attacking kicks off 14 kicks in general play
8 carries for 31 metres
No errors, no penalties

You can see why we won if you compare that to the stats the last time we played them
Lots of yardage and lots of tackles but every player bar Kirmond had missed tackles against their name and 8 had errors against their name.

Lack of penalties an important part of it all.
