Stats and footy speak

[Swordy]

I dont know what It is, but why the increase in quoting stats such as post contact metres, times over 20m, g-force wangleschmits, blah blah blah.

Especially you young uns...

Concentrate on this. Rugby league is the simplest game of all. Run hard, tackle hard. Leave all the cool talk and wank words to the first grade coaches. Youre not impressing anyone, and most of what you quote only means something in context with other things.

Rant over.

Swordy what percentage of your posts attract 4 men?

 

[Tigerboy]

G-force Wangleschmits: an absolute must have in the vocabulary of any dignified footy fan. The lower the better in terms of Plodder Factory

Agree Swordy. It is just another example of the pitiful way Aussies follow American example.
Deeeeeefence.
Can't stand it either.
Ben Ikin I think started the rubbish stat of "possessions" in the NRL to describe how many times a playmaker has touched the ball.

NFL sux, IMO, compared to humble rugby league, I think PCM are actually somewhat important.

On all other points, I’d concur, ‘Americanisation’.

Been round for years ...Darren Lockyer broke the record for most possessions in the Suncorp game v WT's in 2006 .....which from memory we won 20-6

But are you talking about everything ...talking about slide defence everything ...sometimes it is the easiest way to explain stuff

I hate hearing about the A and B defenders.

Block plays!
I preferred ‘blocker’ plays. Usually meant someone got hit

 

[Red88_Tiger]

Scoreboard is the only stat that matters

Analytics is the new black..

Still yet to hear someone give a clear definition of the great buzz word 'Game Management"

Apparently it is something that Luke Brooks is unable to do.

[twentyforty]

Great ! Reminds me, I’ve had a question on my mind for a while now. Does anyone know how to calculate the “passes to run ratio”?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Leg drive

You sound like a bunch of whiny old tosspots. I’m going to make sure I talk about stats even more now.
