Ablett's 46 tackles was the second highest by a Leeds player this season (best 51 - Sinfield V Harlequins)

Opta have gone a bit giddy awarding try assists to all bar Sinfield's ball steal for the last, making some of their earlier non awards all the more laughable.

Edit: Peacock's one missed tackle missed by me.

Considering he had the best metre per carry rate in our forwards and a decent tackle rate according to TVOC's stats there, that seems a very strange comment.

Although it does seem strange that Peacock didnt miss any tackles yet his tackle efficiency is only 96%
He may be getting at the fact that he only had 7 carries, where as peacock took it up 20 times.

It would make more sense if Kylie took the ball up abit more meaning peacock would be fresher so he'd have more of an impact and judging by kylie's metres per carry stat, we should give him the ball more anyway.

True, or he could have said that both Bailey and Burgess need to make more metres when they have the ball and do more in defence, it just seems strange to me to pick out only Leuluai for criticism.

Very true. I think Bailey does really well in defence but lacks go forward. If he was more 'in their faces' with ball in hand he could be a really good prop. Burgess I think has potential but needs to improve his defensive game.

I just naturally assumed it was OPTA who had made the mistake, as I dont think I'd want to live in a world where tvoc gets his stats wrong. I'd be scared to go outside.

Yep id agree. Burgess obviously is only young and so I wouldnt want much pressure put on him and would like to see him rested for the odd game too. Bailey on the other hand is 25 now and to be honest I want to see more from him, especially when he has the ball.

I read Kylie's stats as a decent defensive effort too. should have time spent on the pitch really.

and yeah - it also indicates he made more impact all round than Kirke, Bailey and Burgess.

In fact it's just dumb to compare him to Peacock, there isn't a prop in Superleague who works harder than Peacock, whose contribution to the team is of a quite different nature to that provided by Kylie.

Unfortunately the mistake this time was all mine. I lift the totals from the SL website and the spreadsheet creates a game by game breakdown by player.

If it helps any it was only in the transfer from spreadsheet to forum that I screwed it up so hopefully you'll still believe.

Saucy.

It was noticeable that Bailey passed the ball before taking contact in the move for Senior's second try just as Peacock had done for Smith's first.

A new tactic for Leeds' props and one that proved pretty effective. That involvement wouldn't really show up in the stats though.

Kirke has been pretty ordinary ball in hand recently and these stats show an appalling lack of appetite for the ball.

Considering JJB's injury comparing Kirke with the allegedly lazy Lautiti shows hos little work Kirke does with the ball.

We do need another prop to take some of the work from Peacock. Kylie should definitely be making more carries than that.

The ultimate golden geek thread !
