Quote: Judder Man "I would still keep LMS he is our best player for Tackle Busts and Clean Breaks at the moment he is also in our top 3 for Metres, Tackles and Off Loads so his workmate is good, its only his discipline where he is a waste of space. Biggest worry for me is Savelio he's not kicked on this season, we want the "angry Sav" not the stroll up laid back one.'"
Last week I did a comparison of stats between LMS, Ben Murdoch-Masilla at Salford, Matt Ashurst (remember him?) at Wakefield and Ukuma Ta'ai at Huddersfield. All had played in all games this year ( 8 ), and all are OOC. (I was gonna compare with Mitch Achurch as well, to complete the bottom 4 comparisons, but he had only played 3 games limiting the value of comparison.)
Despite being top for breaks, tackle busts and carries, he was bottom for metres made. For me, it means 90% of the time he is completely ineffective. He was also bottom for tackling (though Saints are now dead last for tackles made this season) and the second worst tackle completion % after BMM. Interestingly, he has conceded the second fewest penalties out of the 4.
Savelio is getting disheartened because he doesn't want to play front row. He said this at the start of the year and KC said he had come up with a solution. Since then hes played in the front row. He hasn't thrown his rattle like Hampshire, but a couple of games at lock would surely bring some energy to his game. I also think hes slimmed down too much for the front row anyway.
