Quote: moto748 "It just seems to me that too many props, not just at Wigan but in SL in general, are stealing a living. It's often said that the NRL counts metres made differently, as if this explains the disparity between metres made there and in SL. I am profoundly unconvinced by that argument. What factor should we apply to NRL metre stats to make them truly comparable to SL? 0.8? 0,7? Even if we did that, we still see a massive difference. You only have to watch the games, and see the metres made by forwards there, to see there is something wrong. Even unheralded players in the poorer sides (take for example say, Jack Hetherington at the Bulldogs) look like supermen compared to most of our props.'"
This. The work the props are expected to do in the NRL is far greater.
