OFFICIAL Oliver Gildart

How do they qualify statistics for ‘most try causes’
Are they saying his actions definitively lead to 13 tries being scored? What are these actions? Wouldn’t they be picked up in other categories? That’s a weird stat.

Unfortunately Cobar,the knockers on this forum cant give a bloke the chance to adapt to the NRL...Its the toughest comp in the world and Gildart is trying his best...I noticed George Williams who was the great playmaker in the Raiders team a couple of years ago benefitted from Gildarts power play in the ESL...
I say give the bloke a chance,our other potential centres are no where to be seen atm because of the shuffling around because of injuries...Gildart has played 7 NRL games others have played origin and have potential,very similar potential that Brooks had,it has taken him 170 games to show what he can offer the WTs now...

Tigers v Cowboys at Suncorp Stadium, 6.25pm (AEST)​

Should Tigers persist with Oliver Gildart? The English international has struggled to adapt to the physicality of the NRL in his debut season Down Under. Gildart is at the top of the league for two unwanted categories – most try causes (13) and line breaks conceded at 14 alongside another centre, Morgan Harper, who has lost his place for the foreseeable future at Manly due to his defensive deficiencies.

Well this says what all of us have seen. How can Madge continue.to pick him? Yes we have so many injuries but fair dinkum you could put a cardboard cut out and it would put up the same numbers.

Yes he is mate but 7 NRL games,the toughest comp in the world,others that become good players get to have about 50 games under their belt....at least he tries and if he leaves he will be better for Madges coaching and the experience...

I like Oli.
He's probably better than Pauga.

He's not first grade standard though.
As we've all observed.

Unfortunately we can't keep him on with stats like that

apart from miss tackles that lead directly to points they add in mis-reads in defence (taking the wrong guy), rushing out of the defensive line and taking thin air to TRY causes..it's subjective..

It's a bit like miss tackles.. there are one's where the defender drops of but the attacker is still tackled by other defenders...with no net gain and one's where the miss tackle leads to a line break which is more concerning.. often a misleading stat..

Would love him to ‘cause’ some tries for us instead.

Nobody ‘gets 50 games’ in first grade defending like that.

Brooks did and his defense was crap until Madge came along...now he is one of the best....Give the bloke a chance,we have pissed bigger money up against the wall on players that were in the NRL a lot longer than Gildart...he is all we got atm with the injuries and poor depth we have...

Got nothing against the bloke. He might try but for some reason he tackles with his arms.and not his shoulder. I mean footballers learn to tackle with their shoulder in their early teens.

This is a professional Sport. If you have a deficiency you will be found out straight away.

Shit, even in amateur sports if you’re not performing to the level expected you get dropped down a grade until you improve.

Brooks was tackling just as well under Ivan, Gildart is good in attack let's hope can work out his defence hopefully in state cup

Utter nonsense - Brooks has always been a quality defensive 7!!
 
Dolphins are getting desperate. He'll probably get homesick after sitting at the bottom of the ladder and will return back to the UK.
