Thought our discipline was ok last week. 10 penalties (Including Tanseys non penalty sin bin) factor in that refs do give the benefit of the doubt to a team who is behind on the majority of occasions (be it subconciously or not) then our penalty count wasn't too bad.

Wasn't that impressed with Huddersfield last week, like someone said earlier, stop B. Hodgson then it will go a long way to stopping Huddersfield. Hopefully our pack will over power theres, especially the front row.

If i recall meters made wasnt an issue for us last year, it was strike rate in the oppo 20. Was pleasing at Saints that it was pretty good when needed but was more impressed that we scored a couple of long range efforts too which had been missing.

Good stats though, keep them coming, i like a fully informed view.

Have to keep an eye on Shaun Lunt, very good player imo.
Will be in the GB set up sooner than people might think.

Looks good, better than Scott Moore who everyone raves about. Goes to show that there is a lot of potential in the National Leagues.

The Hudds pack is not that good, it's their defence that makes them so hard to beat. The Bulls had a lot of ball 2nd half and Hudds were down to 12 men but they still could not break them down. They also lost a prop (Mason) early which will have effected yardage. If our pack gets on top and we kick well then we should dominate territory and ultimately win the game. Brown and Hodgson are the players to watch.

Could well be both of GBs future hookers on show tonight with Lunt and Houghton. Would compliment each other really well too imo.

Watching Boots n all this morning, it seems they play two lines in the backs when defending - first line (2 players) comes up quick to snuff out the move in the backs and two sit back just in case and are then supported by others sliding across. I think you must have to be super fit to keep this up all game so if we hammer them down the middle it might make them a bit looser out wide at the end of each half when they're tired and can't afford to shoot out the line. Get ready for a lot of work of the middle tonight - a few more 5 drives and kick.

As always... talking b0ll0cks.

A slightly more worrying Stat for us at the moment is the number of offloads we have made in the 2 games so far. We have only made 12 offloads so far from 401 carries which is 0.02%. We are obviously playing an error free style of rugby at the moment which is to be expected but hopefully we will see the players promoting the ball more often once conditions improve.

Not to confuse things here but an offload is classed as passing the ball when being tackled isnt it? Maybe we have just not been tackled!!

If we hadn't been tackled we would have scored 401 trys

Fair point.

Take the clean breaks off the carries and then divide the offloads by the number of times we've been tackled to get a truer % which is still going to be something like 0.04% at a guess.
