The stats does not make good reading. Hopefully they will get into gear for this weekend’s clash against the Saders.
The Jaguares are really embracing the Kiwi way of playing rugby – 19 offloads.
Thanks for the stats.any idea how to get a tracker on individual player stat?
@50shadesofshark (Comment 3) : http://www.vodacomrugby.co.za/stats/?seasonid=10&view=player&action=list
Search for the player you want and click on their name.
@Seth101 (Comment 4) : thanks!
Ettienne is having a very busy season!!! He is really stepping up and showing his worth!!!
@JD (Comment 6) : If I’m not mistaken, he started both pre-season games and every match thus far. I doubt Gary Gold would choose the crusaders game to rotate his position. Ettienne is a hard grafter.
@SeanJeff (Comment 7) : for sure he’s really showing his true potential this year!!! Yes can’t see him being rested for the Saders match so he will have to wait for the bye to get a weekend off.
Interesting stats from Morne’s old web-site, although it just confirms where we all know the Sharks need to improve: http://www.ruggaworld.com/2016/03/23/playing-by-the-numbers/
The Sharks are the best team this far in turnovers won and ranked second in tackles made and kicks caught. They are the third worst team when it comes to conceding penalties and fifth with knock ons after four rounds.
The Sharks worst ranking is for passes completed which they are ranked seventeenth and offloads ranked fourteenth.
@Bokhoring (Comment 9) : interesting would not have thought Sharks was that bad with penalties conceded!?!?!
