And the only factor that I've not taken into consideration is appearance, which Youngquest has made three less of. This would probably alter the stats.

Of which, if played same amount of games, based on average stats:

Youngquest would have same amount of tries
Youngquest would have six more tackle busts
Youngquest would have made sixteen more carries
Youngquest would have made 47 more metres
Griffin would have more average gain
Same amount of clean breaks.

Not much to separate them really. They would have also missed the same amount of tackles too. But this is pure speculation based on averages.

To be fair, it's peeing in the wind. If we sign a proper centre next season, let's see how Griffin does then. If he's still the same, fair enough, we'll agree.

But right now, I'm prepared to give the lad a chance, not just on his attacking ability but because it's a quality that with the right teaching, coaching and support can be knocked out of his game. Equally, because he's not had that consistency of a centre inside of him to work with.

Yet it's often stats that count most. For instance, points accrued in a table, points difference in a table. Technically, the final score is a statistic.

Regardless, statistically speaking, no one is as good as Wigan or any other Wigan players. Or so I am told on a frequent basis.

are you short of wingers?

A winger worse than Josh Griffin...who'd have thought?

Re: good luck with this one : Sat May 26, 2012 5:13 pm  

now you can see why warrington wanted to get rid of him

Re: good luck with this one : Sat May 26, 2012 5:18 pm  

James Clare is a far better player
Davies is better than Mitchell too

Get rid of the players Warrington don't want please....drop Ferres too he couldn't tackle a good dinner and his rugby brain is non-existent!
