Comparing stats is futile. Coley causes damage with everything he does. His carries suck in more player than most of our Props and he hits harder than any Prop we have.
This meters/carry is a load of old balls for me. You have to look at quality. Mossop looks like he has the potential to supply the same type of service but for me that is still 2 years off.
Hock should also offer this type of sapping offence and defence.
Agreed mate.
If you looks at James Grahams stats over the years they're hugely impressive and what an engine the guy must have but they're inflated due to his minutes on the field in comparison to others.
I'm a huge Coley fan and I think out of the 3 older heads out of contract in himself, Carmont and Deacon he's the one i'd make the most effort to keep. As you say he hits hard in defence and attack and is a real leader. The bigger the game the better he is and his stats don't tell the full story.
I get the feeling Hoffman will leave and I still see Hock taking a second row spot and not a props position so i'm hoping we've still got a front 5 of Coley, Fielden, Lima, Prescott and Mossop to call on.
