JAC about to be a free agent. Souths? Maybe we’ll spend the To’o budget on him? 😂

5 years too late for JAC
In memory of Geoff Chisholm (1965-2022)
Here’s an interesting read:
The Eye Test’s advanced stat leaders for NRL season 2024
Key takeaways for me were:
- Further stats to support my enduring argument that Twal > Seyfarth. This year Twal ranked top 10 in Tackle rate, decoy runs, and involvement rate. I swear this isn’t his mothers burner account, but I genuinely believe he plays a critical and reliable role in the team.
- We know Faatape and Staines really struggled, here’s some stats to prove it
- We are quick to heap on our senior players for letting the team down this year, but I think Api has escaped the majority of criticism. Api is incredibly talented and impactful for us, but we can’t ignore that he let us down in a few games as well. Specifically he’s first in the NRL for missed tackles, top ten for penalties conceded, was sin binned three times and had double figures for try and line break causes. If this was the case with sezer or klemmer, we would be storming concord baying for blood.
- Royce hunt could be a savy buy, as demonstrated by the run metres over expected runs table.
- No surprises that junior tupou, Brent naden and AD represent the tigers in highest error count.
Yes, yes, stats aren’t everything and shouldn’t be looked at in isolation. But they certainly reinforce some of my beliefs on strengths and weaknesses in the team.
Api is the perfect example of why stats should be taken with a bucket of salt.
first picked
First picked, but needs to have a refocus on his place in the team and how he plays at this point in his career. Thankfully, next year some pressure/leadership can fall on others like Bird and Luai.
Surely that is the role of a coach? Same coach who has flogged him to death this season.
JAC at the right price, yes a good purchase if you can get him for 400k
Roosters have a $3M war chest with players that are leaving/retiringBroncos have to lose either Cobbo or Staggs because of Walsh’s new contract, I’d take either one but if I had to choose it would be Staggs
Whichever one leaves will end up at the Roosters
Even more when you consider players go there for unders!
