17.8 missed tackles per game.

So were coming first in least missed tackles. As defence gets better this stat will come down for all teams, but with the strom averaging 23.6 missed tackles and winning the premiship last year, I think were travelling well. good work trento!

The watchword is defence. That's why Trent Robinson is more impressed with the 0 in the scoreboards they have produced.

And the old saying....stop them scoring a try & it's one less you have to score yourself, to win.

Exactly. It's not rocket surgery.

Add to that, leading Line breaks, line break assists and try assists. Were looking shit hot, looking forward to the next three games.

its much easier to beat a team that scores 0 points than it is to beat a team that scores 30 points.

All great stats, but keep in mind we have played mostly the minnows of the comp, thus far, so our figures should be good, the Souths game didn't worry me, we had a lot of new players in their first proper run together, that was a tough ask, the second half collapse against a team of Canberra kids, sticks in my memory, that was unacceptable, and since then things have gone better, and improvement will be needed, as we go along, but the signs are promising. I cant believe after a round of dud games like what was on offer in this round, the obvious game of the round, wasted, and sent to the dregs time slot of Monday evening, the NRL are gifting rating points to the AFL, can you imagine the AFL allocating a Collingwood Vs Essendon game to a Monday night , I don't think so.

After that, I'm not as concerned. It was one missed goal.

i still am. the defeats add up.
we have a big 3 games coming up, plus the stress that origin brings.
there are a lot of games we could lose against tough opposition or while were down on troops.
early wins are important, and losing after being 16-0 up makes it even worse.
