63% completion rate

vs the oppositions 82%

Teams just will not win games like that especially in the big one.

That was until last night.

There is a disconnect there somewhere

Yes, there is a disconnect there. It's orange - looks a bit like an Oompa Loompa - and its name is Shayne Hayne

No doubt Manly were very ordinary last night. I reckon Glenn's early injury and Watmough, Brett, Foran and Kite looking wounded for weeks meant they were all down on form last night.

Ordinary performances of another players needs questioning too.

Simply not good enough.

Did I mention the Pink Cheats?

Bob, it was the roosters who were ordinary with only 63% completions.

Its a stat that is ass about compared to the result.

There is only one reason I can think of

It's not always about completed possession though. At the end of the day, it was 23 completed possessions to 22 to us. They had 35 possessions, we had 28. We made far better use of the ball - we just didn't have enough of it.

 

[Fluffy]

why did they get so many more uses?

I actually thought both teams were along way from their best.

I don't accept the rubbish that the media is on about it was a game for the ages.

A very average game of footy kept interesting only by the closeness of the scores.
