Interesting Lods, but that has to be seen in the context of low scoring games across the board, as Dennis Cometti points out:
Are our gains actual, or a product of the rule changes? I suspect that our defence is a lot more effective than it was last season. Although our forward line looks dysfunctional, it can’t be too bad if we’re matching last year’s scores - unless everyone else has been dragged down to our level :-\

“We had a lot of rule changes in the off-season designed to increase scoring,” Cometti said. “Well, after four rounds, I can tell you we’re losing ground here because currently the average team score is 81 points a game. The last time it was lower was 1967.
“In this season so far, teams have scored over 100 points 14 times — the same time last year, we had the number at 26.”

“Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?” Oddball
