RUGBY LEAGUE COACHING MANUALS Extract from
An Approach To Coaching Rugby League with Ray Unsworth Page 39
.............this is just a sample of a non-definitive list.
Personally, as a coach these days I am only interested in effective tackles made as a benchmark of our defensive effort, and when, where and how we turn over possession as our offensive benchmark.
However, should you examine statistical analysis a little more closely, then you have got to ask yourself whether or not statistical data always confirms or tells us exactly what we need to know.
A quote attributed to one of the games leading coaches:
"It is widely assumed that the team with the best completion rate wins the game. Completion statistics are quantity statistics not necessarily quality statistics."
And he goes on to say that, "The quality of the completion is more important than whether or not you complete the set."
In other words, What was the outcome?
So, is it not back to my original statement about how, when and where we turn over possession and how effectively are we tackling?
Those where my concerns are both outcome based.
So to further evidence that, consider this:
Your team completes 18/20 sets in the first half.
You would be happy with that as a statistic and as a measure of good ball control. Yet your team is 0-22 down at half time!
Should you further examine what seems a great statistic when other data reveals that:
Only once during the half did they kick the ball into the opposition's red zone.
Five times they kicked from within their own 50m/40m area and eight times from deep backfield.
So the outcome is yes, they did complete ninety percent, but poor field position meant that the completion rate was ineffective.
What we have just identified is a quantity statistic that on the face of it seems positive, but in actual fact has a negative outcome.
Therefore, the evaluation that should be evidenced is why we were ineffective?
What was our go forward like to have no field position?
Were we winning collisions?
I would suggest not or otherwise we would be on the front foot and going forward.
How good were the kicks that we managed to get away (well I think we have just seen that) but equally importantly, how effective was the chase to support the kicks and the subsequent transitions?
Let's now examine another situation.
In one of your fixtures, a prop forward makes 20 hit ups, 40 tackles, with no errors and no missed tackles.
Looks like we are on a winner here! So do we give him the Tissot watch, the bottle of Bollinger?
But again, should you examine it more closely, how effective were his involvements?
Did he break the line? Offload the football?
Win collisions?
Was the outcome of his tackles that of dominance?
If they where not, don't give him the watch and the champagne.
So, it's not really as straight forward as it seems.
If we are to make appropriate decisions based upon what we see, then realistically, those previously identified, who on game day contribute to the process should be tasked with gathering or distributing information that is relevant and outcome based.
Realistically you would be evaluating the major components of your play.
Offensively:
. Are we going forward, ruck plays, dummy half running?
. What lines are we running particularly over the advantage line?
. Is the support play effective and enthusiastic, taking bodies out of the tackle?
. Do we have good width/depth/shape....................Click RLCM Bookshop to order your eBook, it will be in your PC by return email.

Ogre's off-season is over
By Brad Walter
THE Sydney Roosters' star recruit Mark O'Meley will today attend his first official training with the club as the Brad Fittler-coached side becomes the first in the NRL to return to work for next season.
The session, which will take place at the club's new headquarters at Sydney Football Stadium, involves the players undergoing a series of individual fitness assessments.
"I'm really looking forward to just getting back into a routine," said O'Meley, who has signed a four-year deal to join the Roosters from the Bulldogs. "I went away to Thailand with the [Bulldogs] boys, and I've just been hanging around the house annoying the kids since."
Asked if he was feeling "fresh and fit", the former Test prop said: "I'm definitely feeling fresh, I don't know about fit. That's what off-seasons are for."
O'Meley and back-up Melbourne hooker James Aubusson are the main recruits at the Roosters, who have lost Craig Wing (South Sydney), Heath L'Estrange (Manly) and Joel Monaghan (Canberra).
