Yep that's the main problem. We can get our hands on the pill this year (apparently we're also 4th in winning uncontested footy) but are a bottom 4 side using it  :-\. It just means we still have a long way to go and need to keep turning players over who can't use the footy well enough. Most of our errors against the Saints were unenforced and just plain dumb.

That stat is misleading a little as we were +51 against the saints from memory....

But true..we are hard at it and getting the ball...dumb skill errors not helping

Does that really matter Con?

If we smash a team in the hard ball gets, how do you say that its misleading?

Cos its misleading..we smashed the worst team...not everyone has played the sainters...its a spike in the stats...we wont beat every other..or perhaps any other team like that again this season...
