The 31.12 allowed by the Knights was the second most expected points (ETxP) conceded this season. Highest was by the Titans who allowed 35.58 in their Round 16 win over Penrith - which was also a 19-18 victory 🤔

They also allowed huge numbers against Panthers (27.9), Warriors (20.4) & Souths (20.1). It's not a sustainable way to play but they almost made it work

Newcastle gave the Roosters 31.12 points of field position (expected points/ETXP) last night. They were last in the NRL during the regular season for ETxP conceded (18.8), so not unexpected

Expected point charts for both NRL games from Finals Week 2. Cronulla couldn't contain the Roosters from anywhere. The Warriors had more than enough high value field position to put away the Knights. Second week in a row that has been an issue for Webster

The Rugby League Eye Test @leagueeyetest.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

For this chart I only looked passes not from dummy half (since hookers would dominate) and passes not to another spine player because the top 50 or so is mostly half to half or half to fullback. Here's the inside 20m chart for 2026 including fullbacks as a guide

The Rugby League Eye Test @leagueeyetest.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I wanted to check how much of a meme "Galvin to Preston" was, so I looked at non spine pass combinations this season from 30m/20m from the try line Kodi ➡️ Herbie was #1 from 30m out Galvin ➡️ Preston was #2 from 30m out & #1 from 20m out. 2x more than all but 13 combos

Remembering NRL officials telling the SMH that the reason for lower six again counts was because Penrith, Melbourne and Brisbane had byes during the Origin period. Unless I'm wrong (known to happen) I'm pretty sure they've all played over the past three weeks
