You can take out of it what you want but I just gave a few stats, my opinion and didn't agree with what you've put. I also didn't say stats are the be all & end all, that's why I just didn't post stats but they do tell you a fair bit. Like when you look at any of the top Props in the league they have an average gain in the mid/high 7's to over 8 meters a game. Take Thompson from Saints last year, all you had to do is watch the dude play to see he was causing havoc in defenses game after game, then look at his average gain it's over 8 meters and he's run for a few thousand meters.
As I said, it's your opinion mate just don't agree.'"
Pretty much agree, though in fairness there must be other requirements from props. As an example Huby averaged under 6 metres last year so must presumably have brought something else to the party.

You may be right, all I can say is on a number of occasions he took three or four defenders over the line with him! I think he's a tremedous impact player from the bench. He's a different player to big Ali but may become just as devastating.

I personally don't think Huby had his best season for one reason and another, 6m AG and around 1350 meters, the year before he was at 7m AG and did nearly 2200 meters, although being a Fifita, PP type prop isn't his game, he's more a find his front quick PTB, or looking for an offload guy.
Yeah, Props do have to have more than a massive hit up in their game, or at least between the 4 a coach has at his disposal there's room for different types of Prop in a team. One or two can be a big AG Prop, who has 3/4 players pulling him doing every hit up and massively tires defenses out but that also sometimes gives time for a defense to set their line when peeling off. Alternatively, as I mentioned with Huby there are Props who are happy to make the meters they can and then get up quickly for a fast play of the ball, which also gets the team moving down the field. Obviously, there are other elements like being a solid tackler, having an offload game, a good engine & even a bit of footwork doesn't go amiss.

So someone asks a question you don’t like and somehow they are frantic, nice side step fit the perpetual loser.

But seriously you do need to chill because you come across as a Mr know it all who likes to have the last word in any debate in which a persons view differs to yours, to the point where you start trading personal insults

Your response, exceptionally good, a touch of humour without your usual diatribe.

| I don't think I have to explain why I'm locking this one. I gave you every chance.
If this continues into the season I'll start handing out temporary bans like they do on the VT.
I'm assuming we are all just bored before the action starts.
