R2 Norwood v Sturt Thursday 7.40

[Interceptor]

Match stats were remarkably even. Norwood slightly ahead on handballs, Sturt slightly on tackles. Norwood won the hit outs but Sturt the clearances. Other stats pretty even.

Yet Sturt doubled Norwood's score.

Sturt's 56 inside 50s to Norwood's 34 is the stat you're looking for.
Also many of Boyd's hit outs were ineffective (to Sturt's advantage or Norwood couldn't clear it).

Rawlings with plenty of work to do just to make the side competitive.

The absence of the King really hurts Norwood...the most influential player at the club. Sturt...magnificent start to the year; new premiership favourite.

Unfortunately the scoreboard attendant got in they way but we can assume Sturt reserves kicked more that 2 goals

It happens with Rawlings (flawed) game plan - I'd love to see the stats for kicks over 30 metres............
It wouldn't take long to add them up

Pretty easy actually
Just pull out the game plan from the 2nd half of last year - the one he was forced to use instead of his own (which he's using again this year)
Maybe its the same season plan - lull everyone into thinking we are crap only to change the game plan later in the year and surprise everyone

Yep, well you need the right game plan and the personnel.
So far new players in the side aren't showing a lot (except for the 17 yo defender), but it would be knee-jerk to write them off at this point.
The only forward so far showing anything is Davis, so Callow can't play soon enough.

Anyway 2-4 start last year ended with a flag, so time to recover the situation, but it's probably even tougher than last year.

Do we have forwards?
They spend half their time across centre or in the backlines!
Bassett game plan no longer works
