Goals difference for as against
GIANTS +62
PANTHERS +61
STEELERS +61
DEVILS +35
We have conceeded the most goals out of the top 4, and scored the least out of the top 4, is this a problem with our D, or a problem scoring, or both.
Need to change up the guys who are likely are largest earners to be more competitive next season.
Reality none of the guys who came back after playing elsewhere have come back better players, in fact it's quite clear they're not as good as they once were.
I said at the start of the season that we were doing well defensively but were struggling to score the goals.
Sadly, we continued to struggle for goals and then our defence started to struggle too.
Overall, I think we have lacked goals. Maybe a stat quest for BigFan but it feels like we've conceded a lot of goals in the last 5-10 minutes of games as we've tried to chase an equaliser?

You're right @Finny - we've conceded just over 25% of our goals this season in the last 10 minutes of regulation time and just under 14% in the last 5 minutes of regulation time. So a disproportionate number of goals were conceded at the end of games: 25% of our goals against in the last 16.67% of game time, and 13.7% of goals conceded in the last 8.33% of game time.
In all domestic games this year we've conceded 168 goals (that doesn't include the goal credited against us for the shoot-out loss against Manchester in December). Here are the time brackets for when we conceded:
