We won the tackles. That sort of statistical profile usually results in a good win.Saints had a lot of meaningless ball, we had more system.....they probably won a lot of ball in the last quarter junk time where we looked tired especially players like Jack who couldnt jump anymore but our defenders held up well.
Steele had 36 possies but didnt influence the game, Hill did a lot of cheap receiving around half back.....Ross, Billings, Jones all just seem to kick around corners racking up stats but getting nowhere.
Love to know the self induced turnover stats for the Saints ..that young kid Connolly ran at a million miles an hour and then ran himself into trouble numerous times and gave the ball back with some horrendous Bower like disposal....you could see it coming just like you could with Bower.
