Thanks guys enjoyed the pod.

Joel I enjoyed your stats about average run metres per set. 1558m total run metres for WT. 38m on average per set. I think this sums up our problem which is a longstanding one.

We're simply no chance of becoming a contender until or unless we find blokes that will tuck it under the arm and run hard.

I feel that the last time the WT played with this mentality was sadly under Ivan. There is a particular night at Leichhardt that stands out for me. There was genuine momentum on each set with forwards rolling onto the ball. 

Just out of curiosity I compared the Ivan era to last Sunday, I think its clear that we played with harder running under Ivan.

  2018 Rd 10 (Cleary Era) Last Sunday v NZ Warriors
Total Runs 184 176
Total Metres 1790 1558
Average Metres per Run 9.73 8.85

 

This article relates to ALL RUN METRES by team for the 2019 season and it suggests that you need to be over 9m a carry to end up in the finals mix.

We still have a lot of players who dont get near 9m per carry but on the positive every one of our new signings for 2025 has a strong carry and this gives me hope of better times ahead.

It took me about 15 sec to remember what the score was and by then the conversation had moved on.
