" completion rates are overrated "
Yeah , I would say that after scoring 1 try in a must win , finish season on a high , yadda yadda yadda

Posted this on a similar thread on the KR forum, I am not defending Agar but completion rates are talked about way too much.
A rate of 30% would be very worrying though ha ha
[i"In a way he is right, they are over talked about, especially by fans who think they matter more than anything.
If you played 5 drives and a kick with no errors for 40 minutes you would be lucky to score a try but would finish the half with a 100% completion rate, providing there was a QF at the end of the set.
But you can make errors, kick on the full and still be winning. For example Featherstone won yesterday, 10-56 I think it was, winning 30 odd 4 at half time. The completion rates from memory were about 55% first half and 68% second half.
That is a disgusting completion rate in the eyes of most people but if you look at the QF's and the reason for the errors then a whole new outlook is clear.
Agar may be cltching at straws but he is right, most people banging on about completion rates dont fully understand why coaches need to see them and the fact there are more stats that need to be used in conjunction to get any benefit."[/i
