Coll v Ess R17 2024 - less drawing and less squiggle

We are winning almost every stat except for stoppage clearances (18-14) bounces (8-2) and 1%s (25-23.) Especially impressive are our tackles: 29-46 and tackles i50: 1-11.

Unfortunatly we’re also winning free kicks 7-12, so beware the even up.

Q1 was.poor but he’d been pretty dominant, we’d be absolutely cleaning them up if we took more of our opportunities

Lucky???

Only that the fkg maggots applied the actual rules of the game to award him a free. Unlike a similar incident last week that was wrong showing the “umpiring is as good as ever”

Promising quarter that one.
The game was very much on our terms.
They weren’t getting much rebound out of our forward line.
They weren’t dominating clearances.

More importantly, we were winning ground ball across the middle of the ground. We looked good going through the middle and when it didn’t come off, we still pushed it forward.
Our pressure is making them uncomfortable. The first quarter they were slicing us apart, now they are are struggling to hit targets.

One more quarter to go.
We know the Pies will respond, we need to hold them off their run and counter attack.
Hopefully we run this game out.

I know it’s been mentioned already but I just watched a replay of Durham’s pick up at pace and um… yeah, that was champagne footy.

Best we’ve looked since last time we played the pies.

Yeah I get deathly scared that he gets snapped clean in half tho

Cmon. That was you in the first quarter (and me and everyone else)

Since then we have been much better.

Yes and we have to keep it going. Sidebottom, Pendles are getting on. We need to out work them.

As does Cox with the 2nd ruck duties.

If the umpiring was as good as ever last week, it’s now off the charts. All in the space of a week. Amazing.

We won’t go into our shells, the Pies might though. We have worked out how to play them.
