| Quote thebloodbath="thebloodbath"I have already blasted our poor forwards overall. That point has been made.
I am highlighting Ian Kirke because after the Hull game a few people were raving about him once they saw his stats. In the Hull game he surprised everyone because he did a forwards job. A job he should be doing week-in-week-out. A job he can sustain week-in-week-out. He got sympathy pats on the back which is cringe-worthy. So a bit of reality was needed to be brought to light about the Gentle Giant, Ian Kirke.'"
Kudos. You have smarts.

| however baileys stats going forward are usually poor too. With him and cross both tackling type props we have no go forward from the front rowers, peacock apart. We missed delaney in the pack big style on friday because he really went forward well

I thought Kirke generally was receiving praise for his performance rather than his stats.
Even from his biggest critics and rightly so.

People noted a better performances pre stats been up.
Post stats been put up - that's when the heavy pats on the back started.
I clocked that, don't worry about that.

It's as if you're suggesting people were/are reluctant to post an opinion on a performance until the stats are known.
I never realised Opta were so influential.
I have to say I hadn't noticed Kirke's performance being elevated by the stats (there was certainly no evidence of that on the stats thread viewtopic.php?f=17&t=483796) and I think it had much more to do with the actual stint he'd put in and McDermott's post match comments.
His stats were fairly unremarkable.

| Looking at average meters made per game for our prop forwards last year, Bailey wasn't that much better than Kirke. An uncomfortable truth for the Bailey fanclub?
Peacock: 152.6
Leuluai: 92.0
Eastwood: 88.5
Bailey: 65.8
Kirke: 50.5
Anyone who thinks Peacock wouldn't have made a difference in the play-offs and CC final is deluded.

Bailey has many strings to his bow does Ian Kirke?

Please elaborate.
Can't include:
1. Winds opposition up
2. Is TMFMISL
3. Has 4 GF rings
4. Stats don't tell you everything
statements backed up by verifiable facts/stats will be accepted not you or any one else's opinion.

Have you factored in game time or number of carries when calculating these stats?

No. Here goes though (m/carry):
Eastwood 7.58
Peacock: 7.48
Leuluai: 7.41
Bailey 6.24
Kirke 6.09
Still doesn't look good for Bailey. He's much closer to Kirke than he is to Leuluai.
