Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 3663486, member: 8255"] It's too early to say just yet, but if they make the GF this year then they [U][I]have [/I][/U]replicated what the Broncos did - spoon to GF in 3 years. The important question is, has there been significant improvement during Kev's tenure. Let's compare average stats from season-to-date 2024 with 2022 as the nucleus of the squad is the same, but Kev's had an extra 2 years to work with them and they're 2 years more experienced (I've underlined the better stats out of the 2 seasons): [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][I]2022[/I][/TD] [TD][I]2024[/I][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Points for[/I][/TD] [TD]21.42[/TD] [TD][B][U]23.6[/U][/B][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Points against[/I][/TD] [TD][B][U]22.92[/U][/B][/TD] [TD]23.5[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]F/A[/I][/TD] [TD]-1.5[/TD] [TD][B][U]0.1[/U][/B][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Win/Loss Ratio[/I][/TD] [TD]1.2[/TD] [TD][B][U]1.8[/U][/B][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Penalties Against[/I][/TD] [TD]5.6[/TD] [TD][B][U]4.8[/U][/B][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][I]Errors[/I][/TD] [TD][B][U]11[/U][/B][/TD] [TD]12.5[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Missed Tackles[/I][/TD] [TD]36[/TD] [TD][B][U]34.2[/U][/B][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Handling Errors[/I][/TD] [TD][B][U]9.1[/U][/B][/TD] [TD]10.9[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Support Runs[/I][/TD] [TD][B][U]49.4[/U][/B][/TD] [TD]45.5[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Possession[/I][/TD] [TD][B][U]48%[/U][/B][/TD] [TD]47%[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Set Completion[/I][/TD] [TD][B][U]79%[/U][/B][/TD] [TD]76%[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Run Metres[/I][/TD] [TD]1,598[/TD] [TD][B][U]1,629[/U][/B][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Ineffective Tackles[/I][/TD] [TD]19.6[/TD] [TD][B][U]16.4[/U][/B][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Offloads[/I][/TD] [TD][B][U]8.5[/U][/B][/TD] [TD]6.5[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Average Tries[/I][/TD] [TD]3.7[/TD] [TD][B][U]4[/U][/B][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] I'm seeing some improvement there but also some regression. I'd have hoped that things would have improved more in 2 years, but that's just me. Good on you for backing Kev and the team to the hilt, more power to you. But there will be some - myself included - who aren't satisfied with results ([I]and/or the [B][U]manner [/U][/B]in which we have played and won or lost[/I]) this year and want the club to do better. Maybe this year was an outlier and Kev can get that from the squad - we'll find out next year. Maybe he can't, in which case the writing will be on the wall and I suspect how the team plays and the results achieved next year will make or break his Bronco head coaching career. [/QUOTE]
