I seriously doubt it.

32

You're not wrong.

If stats mean nothing, then Fitz is just another Aussi forward.

Who cares.

i thought he was a machine anyways??

Stats don't lie? You never heard of the saying "There's lies, damn lies and there's statistics"?

You can make stats say anything you want or interpret them how you want.

As for someone who scores 20 tries being better than one who scores 3, maybe we should get rid of props and replace them with wingers

i meant, lets say wingers for example......or centres in comparison with each other.....stats mean everything...
id be pretty certain that alot of coaches use the opta stats etc etc...

Stats are good from a comparitive view point.

??? i wish i was that popular

Are you suggesting he isn't an aussie forward then?

You are wasting your time mate. We have signed a good player who will be our second hooker and strengthen us as well as providing some genuine halfback cover. It also makes no odds to next years quota players.

Result imo.

Wrong.

clever little player too

So any winger who scored more tries than briscoe last season is a better player?

Is the whole of your life this simplistic?

Still think there's enough cap to squeeze another back in mid-season. Obviously would have to be British.

In your opinion? Even if the ip address is different it's easy enough to change.

too much conflict for me tonight , goodnight

I'm suggesting that if stats mean nothing, then Fitz being the highest scoring forward in Aussi history means nothing. Stats define who players are. If someone asked you to to describe Longy, I'm sure one of the first things said would be '3 times Lance Todd Trophy winner'.

Agreed. Result.

no, but if you take his entire stats, runs,tackle busts,tackles etc etc..he will outstrip most other wingers, hence him playing for gb....
thats what im saying, if you take the whole picture which is what stats prove......then the top performers will undoubtadly be the best

Are they? maybe with some context but people will be saying how great houghton and fitz are because they made a stack of tackles yesterday, but they both played the whole 80 minutes. How effective were they overall in the game? How much more impact might they have had if they'd been spelled?

The limited amount of statistical information we see as fans gives very little clue to a player's effectiveness. clubs have access to significantly more information which allows them to build a better picture of player performance

He doesn't need his IP address, expro is making him a coffee

I'd say you understand nothing about statistics

Would have been over the moon 7 years ago. He'll be 32 next year.
