Analysis:
This seems a lot more complicated than it should be. While any team can break out of a trend on any given week, it looks like the data does not support the Sharks in this one. One of the Sharks wings has been woefully shit defensively. I won’t tell you which one, but I can tell you that the names of the Roosters players running at it rhyme with “Lawyer” and “I wanna go to Mars ay”. Add to that, a quarter of the Sharks tries have been scored by their forward pack, while the Roosters have given up just one try to opposition forwards.
