It always has been his problem... he got sin binned a super league record amount of times in his first season i think.

Agreed his time has come to an end... never been the same since the back injury but for those first couple of seasons he was brilliant. Shame really.

And that doesn't even include the times he so far out of position the play doesn't get near enough to him

The stats also say that Stephen Wild has mised 54 tackles this year though. Which sounds a little unlikely to me. It would be nearly 4 per appearance, so I doubt he would have been selected 15 times if that were true. ALthough having seen Weller play this year, the rate of almost 3 per apprearance he's credited with seems more plausible.....

If not too few. Though weller would be near 4 per game!!

The team missed tackle stat from Opta has always been one for Mulder and Scully to investigate.

The Leeds players collectively have so far amassed a total of =#0000BF375 missed tackles .... impressive.

I've no idea how that compares with the rest of SL and neither would anyone else unless they go through all the other teams player rostas and totalled them up for themselves.

That said, as I've just totalled the St Helens side from Friday by adding the missing players (who have played SL this season): Gardner, Pryce, Perry, Flannery, Clough, Wheeler, Ashurst, Armstrong, Ashe and Hale: the comparitive Saints total is =#FF0000347

So Leeds are still on top so far.

I went back onto the site in my dinner break, convinced I must be missing something. But no, Leeds' missed tackle stats, like everyone else's, are not only less than the sum of their individual players, but in many cases less than one individual player.
