IIRC, early last season, Cripps and company dominated centre clearances and we took advantage of the 6/6/6 rule so that we could kick into an uncluttered forward line without being particularly precise.
Subsequently, we have not been as effective in centre clearances and have increasingly tried to move the ball forward without the ability to consistently find a teammate or even kick to advantage when the opposition has already flooded back.
I would like to see if my recollections are supported by statistics so I am wondering if anyone has or has access to statistics that show:
- a game-by-game breakdown of scoring from centre clearances compared to other means
- a game-by-game breakdown of any other stats connected to centre clearances, e.g. ruckman by ruckman / whether the centre clearances exited towards goal or towards the wing or flank / or anything of that kind
