Fair enough, stats only give away so much, it doesn't give the whole picture. Fozzard, whilst no world beater is a good option and considering we've had no Cayless all year, it is an improvement on what we have.

Fair enough, you think it's a shocking signing, I don't.

A big problem for us is the VOLUME of work Jammer is being asked to do, so I'm just saying we've signed a player who in my opinion is capable of sharing that workload well.

Tell me where they store stats on quick PTB and game time and I'll look at them, otherwise I can only go on what I see with my own eyes, which the available stats support.

It may prove to be worthwhile like the Paul Anderson deal did but it looks a shocker to me at this stage. In the Nathan Mcavoy to Leeds class.

No he doesn't.

Kirke, Leuleui and Burgess make more meters per carry (we have a squad so we can rotate our props ).

Despite playing 5 games less (the apparantly amusing to you) Kirke has more tackle busts and clean breaks, Burgess has over double the tackle busts and has 25 offloads compared to Fozzards 2!
Bailey, who has played 4 games less, has double the tackle busts, clean breaks and offloads.

I wouldn't swap Fozzard for any of them, why do you think it's a good idea?

And there it is!

Like I said, Thakrey is available

Yes to both (see my post on page 5, I think, for more info, if you need some assistance sleeping this evening)

I also think Ali, ablett, jjb, senior and hall really help spread the work load!! Saints fans see stats as the be all and end all!! That's why you have Sants fans saying clough is better than Ali? Clough is nowhere near the class of Ali!! Not even close !!

I agree Tad a step backwards but who cares

You've not quoted any stats! You just stated he appears to make more carries, more yards, tackles etc. That's not stats. Stats means numbers pal. I hope he would make more yards in more carries... And if he has spent more time on the pitch than KL then I hope he would have made more tackles! I am asking you to give us the info you based your comments on so we can have the chance to agree with you.

To put the above into something decent.

Fozzard's Meters per carry isn't as good as: Kirke, Leuluai or Burgess. Although Bailey isn't that far behind. N'uff said?

Metres per carry is a totally meaningless statistic. You are suggesting that a player who hides on the wing and makes one carry for 15 metres is better than Graham who makes 30 carries for 210 metres.
