Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3138329, member: 9326"] I'm not for a moment suggesting we don't have work to do, it's blatantly clear we do. That said, we are far from the only 'exhausted and frustrated' side in the competition. We're also far from the only team getting soundly beaten basically week in week out. For whatever reason though, we are a HUGE statistical outlier in both penalties awarded and penalties conceded. These numbers are from after Round 6, but here they again anyway just for context on how far outside everyone else we actually are: [B][I]So I've done the maths since the Newcastle game...[/I][/B] [I][B]So it turns out, we're -29 on For/Against so far this season. That's not -29 in actual points mind you, that's -29 just in PENALTIES awarded For/Against. To put how horrendous that is into context across the competition: - It's not even close, the next worse off team is the Dragons in single digits at -7 which makes them still 22 penalties overall better off than us, or 3.6 penalties a week. - Parramatta and Manly are the best off with both teams +18, so in effect they're currently 47 penalties better off than us, in just SIX Rounds of football, which is about 7.8 penalties a game better off than we are! - Unbelievably, there are only 4 teams on the actual ladder (one of them is us) that have a worse For/Against in ACTUAL points scored/conceded than we have just in our penalty differential alone. Honestly, I can appreciate we've been poor. In fact outright hopeless at times. But **** me, so have the Titans, Dragons and Warriors at times, and when you see referee controlled statistics like this are such significant statistical outliers, you really do have to ask if there isn't more to this than just us being playing woefully since the season kicked off. [/B][/I] To just add a final point, prior to winning the penalty count against the Titans on Saturday, we'd gone almost exactly 10 months to the very day since we last actually won a penalty count in the NRL.
