I didn't judge him that at all. I said "stats wise he is the worst defensive winger in super league".

But you are using the stats to judge him

No I used the average stats over a long period of time. That way they do not lie. You would also expect that someone playing for the best defensive side in the league, wouldn't be anywhere near the worst in the league in that particular function in his position.

The fact is he misses a shocking amount of the tackles he attempts. And he consistently makes a high amount of handling errors.

How dare you ... But then why advocate the "WBW" playing in the forwards if his tackling ability is woeful. ?

So you are using stats to judge him then!

Stats even over a long period of time can be misleading . Especially opta stats and missed tackles. Especially for a winger where the mistake is often made infield. Not looking at any stats at all just watching games there are worse defensive wingers out there

That is an extremely naive and incorrect view. It would be right over one match, over two matches. Over four seasons however tells you it is consistent, and therefore the stats tell the whole story. Remember here I am talking about one area of his game only.

............

Thanks for backing me up.

I've always said Ryan Hall was rubbish.....

Your the only one then.

His poor tackling and handling errors are terrible Gotcha

Pfft rubbish

Stats like these never tell the full story. The only stats that tell the full story are records ie in 2012
We
Won x amount of games
