Interesting Stats to come from Big League this week...

[Nutzcraw]

On the weekend the Manly game drew the 3rd biggest crowd for the round (17,117) and only 700 people less than the tigers who had the 2nd biggest crowd (17,803... Newcastle had the largest with 18,359!!

The stat that i found most significant for us was that we have 4 players out of the top 8 in Best One on One tacklers... they are: BK, Choc, Beaver and Burns!

Hopefully it can stay that way ,& the others take notice of it..

 

[Dan]

Burns is a little guy but man can he tackle

 

[Ryan]

Little guy - big heart...like Orford. It's about time we had a 5/8 !!! This guys could be the answer to our problems. He can sniff out a try, and be the transition to the back line as seen in that excellent move against Cronulla for Bell..

Orford / Burns, and then Groom and Burns later on is suweet.

 

[The Wheel]

Probaly missed tackles is the more important stat

BK is a machine. He's worth the 300k he probably gets.

Who was the main instigator in getting BK to the club??

They need to be knighted!!

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Nobody averaged in double figures for metres gained per hitup. It could be great if one of our props could get there.

 

[Fluffy]

Bryant must be close he has been monstering them lately.

I tried to look at metres gained on nrl.com but it wouldnt let me see it for the rorters game - anybody else have this problem. Note i can see some stats, down to tackles but not the metres area

 

[DUFFMAN]

there is a story in fridays tele about BURNS

talks about how he is out tackling everyone at the eagles, he has top the tackle count for the last 3 games.

40 tackles v's cowboys
37 tackles v's sharks
33 tackles v's roosters
