Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Quote ="G1"Actually, you were be wrong.
What he did defensively was more like what he always does but what he did with the ball this week was what we'd all asked of him, to up his work rate.
His carries were almost half as many again as they were in the Catalan game.'" />
I accept that Gareth. But the team had an additional 200 carries to do this week. Therefore you would expect the individuals carries to increse accordingley. Infact if you ignore its the job of the forwards and divide the extra carries by all 17 players, then each should be carrying 11 more times.
Bailey increased his carries by 4. So in reality, did he really up his game, in relation to the team?
I think the point Gilder made with the defensive percentage of the team is still a good point though.

Quote ="FearTheVee"I guess the reason I think Bailey is lazy is when I compare his potential to what he actually does. />
From his stats he is Bryn Hargreaves with more missed tackles, errors and penalties and what I would assume is a much bigger salary (speculation I know, but I'm sure it would prove accurate for a player who has represented GB).
He should be a far better player than that and I question whether he has the attitude to make the most of whatever ability he has. When he burst on the scene we all thought we had a fearsome enforcer for the GB pack. />
The way he takes the ball in is pitiful at times for a bloke of his I">stature.'"I agree Bailey could be more than he is and that frustrates me at times. />
He does get an unwarranted amount of stick though, especially from our own fans when, peacock aside, he's certainly the equal, at least, of our other props.

Huddersfield forward stats from Sunday's match:
Griffin: 63 - 10 (6.30) - 18 - 0 (100%) - 0 - 1
Lunt: 45 - 5 (9.00) - 19 - 2 (90%) - 1 - 0
Mason: 76 - 14 (5.43) - 28 - 2 (93%) - 1 - 0
Wild: 17 - 5 (3.40) - 40 - 6 (87%) - 0 - 1
Raleigh: 63 - 9 (7.00) - 32 - 5 (86%) - 0 - 0
Mossop: 19 - 4 (4.75 ) - 26 - 1 (96%) - 0 - 1
Faiumu: 48 - 9 (5.33) - 14 - 0 (100%) - 0 - 0
Jackson: 46 - 8 (5.75) - 18 - 0 (100%) - 0 - 0
Sculthorpe: No Data - OPTA still thinks he's at Wakefield*
* Presumable explains some of the missing metres from Huddersfield's team total in the first post - although not that many by all accounts. />
I like Stephen Wild but I'm shocked at how little work he did ball in hand considering he was the only 80 minute forward on Sunday. |

Decent stint in defence but his carry stats are abysmal if correct, surprising.
