the breakdown
Statistics uncovered by NRL.com this week show that the Titans are at their lethal best when allowed to play at break-neck speed, with halves pairing Scott Prince and Mat Rogers running riot on the back of quick play-the-balls.
The titans rank second in the NRL for quick play-the-balls (418) and second for metres gained (1398.1 per game) thanks to a relentless pack, with their halves having recorded both the most runs (449) and most run metres (3407) on the back of their fast go-forward
the Titans will be going right, hitting Anthony Laffranchi’s section of the field. The right edge is the Titans’ most fertile area of the field . It is against the attacking players for the Roosters, so the defence could tire them out; but it is also the Roosters’ weak spot – they have conceded 27 tries this season in the area. The Titans have averaged 1392 metres gained across the ground this season, a touch better than the Roosters who have averaged 1312 metres (a figure boosted slightly thanks to our 100-minute epic recently).
The Titans have allowed opposition teams to make 1307 metres a match on average, the Roosters are slightly worse at 1348 metres.
Bailey averages 126 metres a match and is joined by Greg Bird (110 metres), Laffranchi (107 metres) and Mark Minichiello (104 metres) as Titans forwards who average triple figures.
Ryles is averaging 101 metres a match and only Nate Myles (105 metres) joins him as a Rooster forward in triple figures
this is where the rossters have to step up , stop the titans forwards from haveing there quick forrays into the ruck, stop the field position and we can win.
it may mean eating up metres with kicking for sidelines to slow down the play for 60% of the game before cutting loose
