First Halves v Second Halves

[Sharkyle]

Not sure where to put this but I am sure the mods can move it where it needs to go.

I think its really fascinating how bad our first halves have been compared to our second halves, see below:

Round 6 v Sea Eagles:
1st: Sharks 0-20 | 2nd: Sharks 4-4

Round 5 v Warriors:
1st: Sharks 16-0 | 2nd: Sharks 21-6

Round 4 v Knights:
1st: Sharks 0-26 | 2nd: Sharks 0-4

Round 3 v Dragons:
1st: Sharks 6-14 | 2nd Sharks 6-0

Round 2 v Bulldogs:
1st: Sharks 0-24 | 2nd: Sharks: 4-18

Round 1 v Titans:
1st: Sharks 6-10 | 2nd: Sharks 6-8

Full stats:
First Halves: Scored total of 28 points and let in 94 points (difference of -66)
Second Halves: Scored total of 41 points and let in 40 points (difference of +1)

To me, this is a crazy stat.... We are letting in more then twice the amount of points whilst scoring half the amount of points in the first half then the second.......

Also take out the warriors game and we only scored 2 tries in the first half of the other 5 games......

And we used to be **** at scoring points in the second half.

Simply because the opposition take the foot off the accelerator imo

 

[Sharkyle]

41 points in 6 halves of football is **** but its way better then our first halves which is just nuts...

yep

We were unlucky to lose against the Titans. We beat the warriors & the rest had it in the bag by half time, besides the dragons... but they were undefeated at the time and probably thought they would run away with it.

 

[HITMAN]

First half performance, ****.
Second half, a little less ****.

Pretty much

More disturbing is the fact we have all but been shut out in all our away games. Bulldogs and manly games we scored in the last minute to get on the board.

Agree.

yep, I mentioned it before, 3 out of 6 games we've had our pants pulled down and spanked

Surely it cant just be that though. Watching our games we have been a different side in the second half defending better looking a bit more dangerous in attack. Granted naturally we get a swing of possession but its a huge difference when you look at the points we have leaked in our first halves.

 

[stevie013]

First half we get belted, second half the opposition lightly taps us with a wooden spoon because they know we are ****ed by then.

 

[BatteredFlake]

just out of curiosity. Do any of youse more statitically minded and technologicalaly savvy punters have the figures for penalty comparisons between first half and second half? Please give me a moment to adjust my tin foil hat before posting them.(and yes I know we lost the games cause the teams playing *****. )

I was thinking that myself, could it mean the old square up penalty counts mean we have the footy a bit more in the second half once the games already over.. (no idea what our penalty counts have been)

 

[creg]

All this stat says is that teams only need 1 half of football to beat us.

 

[Sharkyle]

How bad must the Warriors be just saying lol...

 

[slide rule]

We really could have won our home games against the Dragons and Titans. We were in both of those games.

As for the away games, we didn't even go close.
