100+ missed tackles...were we playing soccer?

It's tackle opportunities missed (I built the sim using a naff definition of what constitutes a tackle - hence if a player was there, but was beaten for pace or palmed away, it counts as a missed tackle in the stats as well). Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to change that now, but is probably my biggest bugbear with the sim output.

There were some pretty decent try saving tackles too. Raftery brought down a Flanker to save a try - miraculous stuff.

Shame about the rest for the CWers though. However, that was your hardest match of the season and with guys like Furball, GIMH and Burgey using the Crabs private forum on Cricsim, you're bound to improve from now on. Burgey had a great game for a rookie. Matched the Spartans pack well at the Scrum. Shows you may have done considerably better in the wet.

Why was rucking ever taken out of the game? Not your game but rugby in general.

Often wondered that myself. Would sort out a lot of this **** at the breakdown where guys claim they can't get out of the way and stick their hands in the air as if that proves anything. Ruck the ****er, and they'll find a way to move.

Should definitely have an opposition player to target option. We'd have been spoilt for choice last game.

This so much. Would love to see McCaw get walked all over - the same way George Smith, Pienaar, Kronfeld etc all had to.

There's plenty of groups to bring back rcuking, sadly none of them have the magnitude of a Kony campaign.

I would just reiterate the Crabs have their own private forum on Cricsim which has been providing some good entertainment for those who've deigned to sign up over there - regardless of whether you post on the rest of the board.

I think ripper, Brumbeh, Quaggas, weemen27bob and Majin are the only remaining Crabs who aren't in their private forum.

Access allows you to read:

a. Top notch rants from everyone's favourite CW Dox Quixote, Burgey.
b. A Grade reference material that can be unleashed at any time.
c. Garbled explanations of the World at Large from CW's own infinite number of monkeys, Phlegm.
d. Furball shouting at Clouds
e. More fun filled water restriction plans from cpr
f. More cod psychology than you can shake a stick at.
g. Additional drunken posting from GIMH

On the downside

a. More GIMH
b. More Furball
c. More Phlegm
d. More Burgey
