Quote: martinwildbull "hes a defensive LF, and forget the big shots, his tackle rate and his missed tackle % show how good he is at that. where has this "most attacking forward" line come from?
His metres per carry 6.3 this season (down from 6.8 last season, Bryns 5.9. His tackles per game 29, Bryn 21. so what you should be suggesting is get rid of Bryn and get a nasty prop in.
But that is assuming Jamie stays fit, and if I was going to get rid of Jamie it would be on fitness grounds as the intermittent nature of his injuries this season has inevitably affected his on field performance.
But I sincerely hope that he gets back to full fitness next season. he costs a lot less on the cap than a replacement of the same quality'"
Stats should be taken with a pinch of salt and perspective. For example, using super league.co.uk, to create game averages. Irrespective of minutes on the field.
Langely makes av. 70m per game, Bryn 68m per game.
Langely tackles 29 per game, Bryn 21 per game.
Langely makes 1 tackle bust every other game, Bryn 1.5 busts every other game (if thats possible?lol).
Langely misses 1.1 tackles per game, Bryn 0.8 tackles per game missed.
Langely errors per game 0.5, Bryn 0.4.
Not much in it at all. But it could be argued that Bryn is doing the same job for half the money (I would presume) and is far more reliable/less injury prone having been fit for selection twice as much as Langely. So maybe get rid of Langely, move Bryn to loose (2 try assists already at prop, could be developed?) and get in a house prop to bring back the biff!! Please not Bailey tho...not a fan.
But in all seriousness...there's nothing wrong with the pack. Look at how they dominated Huddersfield, I'd keep them all. In my opinion the problem this season has been with the halves and three quarters, the lack of leaders and the lack of a cohesive team of 13 playing to a gameplan/set of tactics.
