Can Alex Walmsley be the best prop in SL in 2014? : Sun Feb 23, 2014 8:50 pm
Lets look at stats (http://www.superleague.co.uk/stats/player_stats):
- Walmsley: 298m at 9.93m/carry - Chris Hill: 263m at 7.97m/carry - Jamie Peacock: 241m at 5.36m/carry - Kyle Amor: 235m at 7.83m/carry - Micky Paea: 200m at 7.69m/carry. Of course there has only been two games, (I'm not getting carried away at all) but the stats are massively in Alex's favour so far. He is making nearly 2m more per carry than any other SL prop at the minute. That's staggering for a player who has only played in SL for one full season. I suppose you could point to the inferior opposition at the Halliwell Jones stadium, but vs Hull I thought our pack struggled (especially in the first half) but he still made 168m. Incredible. Obviously this is something to come back to at the end of the season, but it's something to look out for as the season progresses. He's had a fantastic start and has definitely put to bed any doubts of 'second season syndrome'. |
