Obviously there are mistakes with these stats. It would be impossible for Roby to play 80 mins of rugby and only make 21 tackles. He would make that many if he was sat in the stand.

Impressive from all our forwards. Under the circumstances, a good win really.

I thought Mose had his best game in a saints shirt last night. He played like a very mature prop taking the ball up hard and strong, he put in his fair share of tackles and played longer mins. He seemed to revel in the responsiblty.

I find myself wondering why don't play Mose for longer spells more often. He seems perfectly capable of it, and he used to do it at Penrith.

THought the samething last night to be honest. I think it's his body launguage some weeks s basically asking to come off on his can't be bothered games but last night he was excellent.

Look at the grsnd final, he was down on his knees Trying to catch his breath after 6 mins.

Re: Wakey Game Stats : Sat Mar 07, 2015 1:12 pm  

I think it's a matter of balance.

Yes he can play longer minute, but against a side like Leeds, he would not play an impact role.

Against Wakefield he was still making in roads, after long minutes, against other sides he would probably become less and less effective as the match wore on.

Last year he did long minutes when we lost props, but then people berated him for not being the impact player they wanted. If he is an impact player then the long minutes will not suit against strong opposition.

I know you aren't being serious but it was because he was defending on the edges.

Masoe was great last night and I can't knock any of the forwards. They were massive and they seemed to thrive under the pressure of having to do more mins than normal.

Issue for me is defence out wide. We were opened up too easily but I would put this down to the disruption but it was the same last week.

But does he really have a impact that would class him as impact? I don't think so. He comes on 80% of the time and lasts 8 mins and hasn't made any impact in that spell. I'd say Alex walmsley has a bigger impact as he bounces players and puts himself about.

I'd rather mose put in 20/25 min period like last night rather than his normal notning special 8 min spell.

Wasn't just last night we was opened up with ease tho mate. Catalan did it, Souths tore us a new hole on the edges and Cas had success there.

If we have two players defending on the edge missing 4 each every game, we will have major problems against a more clinical team like souths did. I know Souths are quality but I could see Leeds punishing us with Hardaker, Briscoe, Watkins, moon and hall all attacking our edges.

Wow, look at Big Jo Greenwoods stats, may not have the impact of Walmsley, but he is no slouch is he. 7.2 average is not bad and 25 tackles.

Richards too 44 tackles.

A great show from the pack.
