Wonders seem to struggle when they cannot get the ball as they have one of the worst points for per disposal ratio, as it seems they love to chip the ball around a lot.
Gumbies are experts in kicking the ball around the back and hoping the other team doesn't intercept them. They also tackle more than any other team, but that is where their stellar stat lines end as they are only able to manage 3 wins this season. Their main problem is defending as they are the second worst team in the league in that stat and if they want to improve their position on the ladder they need to come up with a new game-plan.
I expect this game to be filled with very high disposals and a lot of kick-mark around the back. Basically a game of keep-it-off the opponent.
