Quote: DILLIGAF "Maybe not equivalent but all stats really only tell half a story.

For example with that one, it would count as an assist if a player attempted to kick the ball, completely fluffed it with one of the worst kicks in the history of the game, but the fullback laughed so much at it he fell over and didn't collect the easy grubber. Superstar winger then runs in, picks the ball up and scores. Player who kicked the awful grubber is credited with an assist, despite it being absolute garbage.

Extreme example, and I'm not suggesting that's what Herbert has done, but it's just to illustrate any stats can lie.

I'm big on stats. In fact I'm often quite the anorak with them. But I'm always weary that almost all stats do not give the full picture.

Thanks saves me the time of typing something similar.

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid! If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/ Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get! Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!:13554.jpg



Am I the first to post that actually went to the game??

Firstly it started in the worst conditions rain wise I've seen at a match much worse than the downpours we get over here and all credit to Ganson for keeping it going, though on a non broadcast day day it may not have gone ahead!
Due to the conditions both Teams were going to make errors drop the ball fall on the turn.

Second half the rain was easing and stopped before the end but it didn't make playing any easier, both teams had chances and Paddy probably had the best chance to win by missing a fairly easy kick but conditions made it hard for a solid standing leg at the point of the kick.

One the highlights for us was the banter with locals as both sets of fans accused Ganson of favouring the opposition!

To all the detractors it was a game we went to and were expecting to lose our unbeaten SL record. The poor weather really helped us for change in stopping the Catalans attacking play!
Also Beaver not playing also helped, though I gather he could have if pushed (his wife intimated he a slight twinge in his ham but it was ok if he was needed) so thanks Beaver for being kind to us.

So credit to both Teams for playing in very difficult conditions and well done to the Bulls for hanging in there and preserving the record!

It was a strange game in some ways, with such a lot of standing water on the pitch you might have expected the defences to make more mistakes, but strangely it seemed to be the attacking players who stumbled more. I thought we scrambled really well in the later stages though, when Catalans put us under a fair bit of pressure and I agree it was a good point won. With all the slipping and sliding there were mistakes galore and I guess a draw was a fair result with Ganson annoying both sets of fans in equal measure.

Incorrect: Elliott Whitehead is No2 in the lists for missed tackles and No4 in the list for errors icon_biggrin.gifOH:

As for Herbert and his assists it's a good job he does makes some as there's no other Bulls player in the top 25.

Unsurprisingly there's no Bulls player at all in the top 25 for clean breaks. It just shows how little strike power we have. It's a bit churlish to reserve all the criticism for our one creative player.
