Quote SmokeyTA="SmokeyTA"so Senior has more assists, more metres per carry, and more clean breaks,
and you are using this as evidence Senior benefits from playing in a better team as he gets more walkover tries rather than his own quality?
cheers for proving my point though
'"
The only one of those stats that senior has a big advantage in is try assists and he has a much better winger outside him, in meters per carry theres little to choose between them, clean breaks senior has more but not significantly more. Whilst shenton has been able to cross the line more.
Senior did this in a 1st and 2nd place team, shenton did it in a 12th and 7th placed team, if senior was in a lower placed team having to spend more time defending, having less opportunities to attack, having apoorer winger outside him and not running at tired defences as much his stats would go down, likewise the reverse would be true of shenton.
Put senior in say salfords side and he wouldnt have even been able to get into double figures for tries scored, put shenton in say saints side and he would have scored more than 20 tries ina season easily.
thanks for confirming what i said about most leeds fans rating there players as the best in very position, even when they arent
