Here's the averages for Madge's two seasons and this one so far,


Year - 2010 - 2011 - 2012
E - 11.44 - 12.67 - 9.75
P - 8.41 - 7.37 - 8.63
MT - 14.67 - 16.22 - 14.88
T% - 95.25 - 95.20 - 95.22

Wane's team is in fact making fewer errors. As it happens last year we made more errors than in any other season. So far this season we've made fewer errors than everyone except Salford and Saints where as Warrington have made the most. We are near the top in terms of penalties however. I don't think we look completely different, we did dominate Warrington something we rarely did under Maguire. For me it was more down to the negative tactics and particular, crucial, errors ie the interception pass.

Agreed, but Hock's the worst culprit for both errors and penalties so has the most to sort out.

Interesting reading... Stats don't tell a whole story, but they can blow holes in the "facts" people like to raise based on perception.

Not worried at all yet. Takes time to get your ideas across. Talk about knee jerk reactions by some on here.

Yep I'm not worried either. We were visibly underdone going in to Hudds, a largely 2nd string team lost by 1 point, giving away a very winnable lead in the process and now we've lost to one of our title rivals by 2 points in a game we probably could/should have won.

i know lets play tick rugby eh,, be no pens then,, jeeshhhh,, with his style ov play and aggression HOCK is going give pens,, love him or hate him hes still one of our better players AT THE MOMENT,,

Correct. What some people here also seem to forget is that without fail .adge would always take the2, and that w bLew a few games when leading convincingly at half time. This is the 1st time in a number of yeArs that we dominated wire throughout the game. Look at the performance not the result and the table will sort itself out over time.

How did madge do in his 1st NRL game btw?
