Not too sure how accurate with some of these stat ratings or criteria and are compiled . So many vagaries and facets to the average game of top level footy . Would think that D C E was one of the better performers on the night just in straight footy terms , great if it was always the case with his Manly outings
So true, just having a quick look at some of the stats on foxsports.
DCE - run metres 83, tackles 23, kick metres 427*, line breaks 1, tackle busts 3, runs 10
Cleary - run metres 49, tackles 20, kick metres 586*, line breaks 0, tackle busts 2, runs 6
couldn't find missed tackles stats but surely they would be reasonably similar with ( fom memory ) none leading directly to a try.
They both had a try scored against them when they turned in and the runner went through the hole outside them.
Interesting that Cobbo was down the bottom, ran for 142m and kick metres was only 9 but they were 9 more than his opposites and it led to a try.
*kick metres - Munster 264, Luai 43
I looked at the website and now my brain hurts.
