errrr.... Just curious as to where you get your information:huh.... It's a bit of a myth that the Dragons can't score points Sure.... Last week .... the Roosters scored 32 points and The Dragons 13 :deal The week before doesn't count because The Dragons had the Bye Ist Semi Final.....Dragons 28 ............ Roosters 15 (after 80mins) How far do you wanna go back?..... 4 rounds?:think Round 26...........Dragons 38 .............Roosters 18 Round 25...........Dragons 26 .............Roosters 30 Round 24 ..........Dragons 16 .............Roosters 14 Round 23 ..........Dragons 32 .............Roosters 12 The Last for rounds of the "Season Proper" had the Dragons averaging 28 points and the Roosters averaging 18.5 points If you add in the Semi Finals in the weeks that both teams played.... The Dragons averaged 25.5 points and the "free scoring Roosters":roll: averaged 20 points The Dragons have only scored less than 26 points in 2 Games of their last 6 played.... and in the corresponding 6 games .... the "FREE SCORING" Roosters have scored less than 20 points... 4 times.... GO FIGURE :deal Taking in to account that the Roosters have the equal worst defensive record of the teams in the "Top 8" and have leaked over 200 more points than the Dragons this season.... I wouldn't get too cocky.
Actually Roosters defence is what has gotten us this far, from around round 21 onwards i think we would be close to the least tries conceded.
-_- playing with stats... Anyone can do it Round 21.................Roosters 48.................Dragons 6 Round 20.................Roosters 34.................Dragons 10 Round 19.................Roosters 36.................Dragons 16 Round 18.................Dragons Had Bye Round 17.................Roosters 22.................Dragons 8 So all your Stats there are meaningless , any real League fan can see Roosters Attack is far more dangerous then the Dragons.
Bennett doesnt know how to lose a grand final while Smith doesnt know how to win one. The only question that remains to be answered is which scum player will break down in tears the most, and therefore be the face of my new avatar and sig? :hey I'm thinking Anasta, possibly Minichello. :think
"Since round 14, however, they have rivalled grand final opponents St George Illawarra in terms of defensive fortitude. The Roosters have ranked second behind the Dragons in points (16.1) and tries (2.7) conceded, and third in line breaks conceded (3.7). " deal
So..... The Roosters much vaunted attack averaged less than 2 points a game more than the Dragons..... AND LEAKED OVER 210 POINTS MORE.... Play with those statistics :rofl:rofl
True, He doesn't know how to lose one..........WITH THE BRONCO'S STG is NOT Brisbane. diffrent culture,attitude,game plan and players, This is new for him, Coaching a diffrent team on the big day, And he looks very nervous, Smith looks confident......you would think it would be the other way around when reading your opening line in your post.
stats go either way depending on how and when you count them.. End of the day who gives a ****?? We got a big game tomorrow and none of these stats mean ****. atsch
The Wayne Benentt winning factor can't be denied...the confidence that that'll give 'any' team in the fact that he knows what it takes to 'win' grand finals...opposed to like ....whoops...sorry boyz I haven't won one yet..but...
