Opta Stats : Mon Feb 21, 2011 8:04 pm  

On superleague websit just looked at the team stats. I know it's early but it's a vast improvement on last year. In 2 games we have missed 7 tackles which is joint least. Made 3rd least amount of tackles which shows we keep the ball well.

Downers are our errors and a few more things but defence looks good.

Very impressed with Saturdays performance, if we keep that level of commitment up ill be well chuffed, hopefully a good season ahead

Not bad at all for 160 minutes of rugby. Keep it up and you never know, you might finish the year where you are now

Just looked myself. We've missed the MOST tackles (joint with Salford) but made equal fewest errors (16, joint with Wakey). Not bad to say we played on a slippery surface on Saturday, though!

I think we can safely assume that the missed tackles stat is wrong.......
Cas have missed 7 in two games and are joint worst? Salford have also only missed 7 tackles despite getting thumped twice? and Bradford have only missed 2 tackles- despite conceeding 8 tries to Wigan at the weekend?
Also I cant see how Jake Webster can miss 10 tackles, yet Hull KR have only missed 6 as a team.

The main stat that matters on that website is:-

P W D L PF PA DIF PTS
1 Castleford 2 2 0 0 58 32 26 4

Didn't even realise that. Bradford and Hull only missed 2??? Can't see that.
