Josh Rollason doesn't do match reports?!

Seb Dias

The title says it all, but the interesting fact as you can see from "A well fought point" and "South 3s Vs City 4s" is that he can in fact write match repors. The link, apparently only when we play City... Wait? That means he should have been capable of this one too, right?

Oh well, now we're on the website let's continue to consider Josh's stats* and see what Josh can and can't do.

Josh can score goals, it's may have been a modest 4 so far this season, but a total of 20 from 49 games is really quite a good return.

Josh can't keep clean sheets. Now, you might ask why a forward would be judged on this? And that's completely fair, and it's also not true even true as Josh has 8 clean sheets. That said, only 1 comes from this current season, so we can say it might be an area to work on.

Josh can still complete the rarity that is playing for every level of team. Now one might think the hardest cap to win would be a men's 1s appearance, but Josh actually has one of the rarest caps going. The mens 7's have only existed as a team for a season and a half. Having starting in early 2024 and ending after the end of 2024/2025 season, there have only been 25 games played under the 7ths banner. That means his single cap for them marks him out as a member of a select few.

Josh can't draw games. This is another stretch of the truth. Josh can draw games, and in fact this season has increased his total from just 2 in his previous seasons to now sit at 6. That's 200% growth!

Josh can get you points! His south average sits at 1.5 points per game. Now with a slightly higher ratio of points outcomes (22 wins and 6 draws) to no point outcomes (21 losses), this says that you're more likely to have a good outcome if Josh plays**.

Alright, enough of his individual stats page, let's look at the awards. Starting with goal king:

Josh can't win Goal King. Now the award is technically still up for grabs, but as we approach the final four games I can't see him scoring enough to overtake the current leader who's sitting on 42. Would be happy for him to try though, the award*** could do with some variety.

Josh can travel. Sitting at 41st of the men's side with 558 miles and 32.8 miles per game. Oddly, last year he managed the exact same total of 558 miles, but with a smaller mpg of 29.4. His best mpg came from the season before of 32.9 but only managed a total of 428.

Josh can't get cards. Or so he claimed... A quick review of the Naughty Step has Josh with a grand total of two green cards. Somehow forgotting his card earlier in the season, the confidence to claim at teas that he'd just received his first card was quickly corrected by teammates with better recollection of his antics.

*The fact this is being written almost 2 weeks late has meant that an extra game has occurred. Therefore, the stats used are current as of the 27th Feb 2026, and not the date of this game.

**Surprisingly this is actually terrible statistical analysis, but however good our website stats are, I'm not actually going to calculate anything harder than adding some numbers together, or maybe that percentage growth.

***Fun fact, whilst the website still tracks this, it isn't actually an award anymore, as they are wanting to promote team play over individualism, or something like that.

P.s. ~Now how do we get these stats out there, so when you search the name "Josh Rollason" this is the page that comes up? Well we can engage in a bit of search engine optimisation. So let's look up some trending topics to add in:~
Well that would have been fun if the news hadn't been so bleak recently so let's just skip that idea.

Left back became marauding left forward and grabbed the late consolation goal.

Thought the response to being told no chat back was regrettably to continue chatting back. Not the Valentine's card he wanted, but the one he deserved.
