NickyKiss:
Had a look at the other teams in the top 5 now and they?ve received the following amount of penalties-
Saints 33
Leigh 30
HKR 29
Hull FC 24
Wigan 8
I?d love to know if there is some sort of technical reason why Wigan would have a quarter of Saints penalties and even only a third of Hull FC?s. Is it something to do with how we attack? Are we just too honest and not doing the Brodie Croft style humping of the ground from yesterday or the constant talking to the ref/throwing your arms up that Walmsley does. Are we as a fanbase too passive? The Leeds crowd were all over Smith yesterday but I very rarely hear the Brick like that.
On the face of it we?ve actually given away the least penalties with 16 but why are there so few penalties in our games in general? To be averaging less than 2 penalties received per game is absurd really and it?s hurting us. I really hope the club are on to this and asking questions as to what is going on because it can?t carry on.
Out of interest NK, where did you find the penalties received figure? Are you able to update them following this weekend?s matches.
