Was reading today two very interesting stats for this season, which I reckon will suprise people.

1. Brenko Lee has the 3rd most offloads of any NRL player so far this season.

2. Bulldogs have the most offloads in the NRL (12 per game / 115 all season).
Worst is Cowboys with 5 per game (46 all season).

2. Bulldogs have the joint lowest missed tackle count in the NRL (along with Dragons) (23 per game).
Tigers are highest with 34 per game (313 all season)

Why are those stats surprising to you? Brenko has been going great guns, our defence has been spot on for most games and despite the nonsense on here we have been shifting the ball a lot more this year. Had we stuck a few more passes we may well have been leading the tryscoring as well.

We will, if kept up, be in the top 4 end of season.
If we keep playing the way we have been the last few weeks never saying die and getting those grind out wins which we used to a couple years ago I see no reason not to make the top 4 looking at the competition. The amount of tries I've seen chased down and stopped by our team shows they're putting their all in at the moment.

Melbourne is the bench mark, And even then we gave them a run for their money. Lost to Roosters without conversions and those injuries. Manly, explosion? Tigers the amount of shit they cop'd in the papers that week they where always going to come out and give it their all against us.

Give us a couple more wins in a row and we'll be very close to the top come mid year. Are we genuine title contenders? Not yet. But if we do make the top 4 we know we can turn up in finals time to run to the GF.

Brenko is also equal 3rd for try assists this season.

Yea, we lost to melbourne by a converted try and the second half of that game we dominated. Just couldnt deliver the points.

Roosters, lost due to injuries early in the game and reshuffle of the team. Goal kicking eventually fked us.

Manly - no idea what happned there

Tigers - we fucked ourselves.

There are many positives to take from the first 1/3 of the year. Im also expecting us to mange pretty well through origin. Doubt any other players then klem and jacko will be in the NSW team, and we have an abundance of forwards who can step up and fill their void.

If they can maintain their defensive efforts we could definitely be in the mix for a top 4 spot because with the addition of Frawley our attacking ability can only improve. Then there is hoppa who has looked better this year compared to last, although we've only got a couple games to judge from. The club has to convince him to play Sundays. Otherwise he just causes too much of a disruption to the team in terms of combinations which is already a few rounds behind the other top teams...

Another good stat for us is we are forth for tries conceded. Don't know what happened in the Manly game.

Im still suprised with our stat of 5 wins considering the feeling at end of last year, no new recruits, 2nd worst attack and losing 3 of first 4 games including that 38nil at Manly..

More than Ennis? :grinning: We don't pay them on looks only on performance and he goes pretty well. He'll only get better as he learns to calm down.
Lol he does some Neanderthal things though, atleast 2-3 Neanderthal things per game.

Brenko and Hoppa have been producing some beautiful offloads down that right side.
