Right, Yeamo & Whiting Centre and Turner on the bench for Saints

Yup. I noticed that when I was looking through his stats a year or so ago. Quite surprising because it doesn't seem to chime with what you see, but Horne has always missed a fair percentage of tackles.

The jump last season was noticeable because it was so large I think. Definitely something to be concerned about if he can't address it, regardless of the root cause.

The problem with those stats is that it doesn't separate before and after his time at Widnes. I'd be willing to bet that the majority of those missed tackles occurred before his temporary exile.

You've got me going now:

Year,Games,Tries,Try Assists

Hall
2007,13,7,4
2008,21,13,4
2009,14,10,3

Whiting
2007,15,4,4
2008,2,1,2
2009,18,5,3

Yeaman
2007,24,5,2
2008,22,15,7
2009,21,9,4

So Yeaman does pass to his winger occasionally - especially in 2008

Not sure about that I think Tansey looks great at full back..It will be Yeamo & Whiting and Turner on the bench.

Sorry - I was joking.

I think it will be Yeaman and Whiting. If Hall gets it instead of Whiting that will be fine. I would be surprised if Turner gets in but, again, not too disappointed if he does. I think we really have a dilemma of the best kind. I just hope injuries don't take the choices away though.

But, as always, the stats barely scratch the surface, providing neither reasoning nor context. Along with, of course, not providing any definition of what constitutes a tackle or a miss.
