Those stats really do say quite a lot… don't they?

How does Carney compare?

Carney is the new pin up boy that everyone now loves, stats don't mean much any more it's a popularity contest. Look at the Nsw soo side. If you have a cool hair style you get a run!

How does Carney compare?

Carney wasn't in top 5 for anything except point scorer

I dont see a need to bag Carney I think he had a decent season. Id be dissapointed not to see Carney at 6, Pearce at 7 (only because he has a combination with TC) and Farah at 9 in game one next year.

Sure Do…I hope Cammy pulls a hammy carting his plasma up the stairs of his beach house in St Kilda...

Robbie to get the Roo rakes spot...On form there could be no other...

I just dont see why Smith is rated so highly. Id like to think im fairly unbias, for example, as much as I like someone like heighno I can admit there is unfortunately a fair few backrowers better. But I have never ever understood why Smith gets wraps over Farah. Ok yes he won 2 premierships (fairly or unfairly), and has been involved in 5 state of origin wins in a row, but thats more to do with about half the side than him. Hes definetly not a bad player at all, but he hardly sets the world on fire. As I said today to a mate, you could put a hooker like Farah or Isaac Luke (also better than Smith), in a team like the Sharks and theyd come on leaps and bounds, but I dont see a guy like Cameron Smith changing a lot down there.

Robbie is all over Cam stat wise.

Just confirms what a champion player Robbie is and how maligned he is by selectors and judges.

Funny isn't it - 12 months ago everyone was creaming their pants over the future of league - J Hayne - oh how the mighty have fallen.

Most conveniently that set of stats is missing total amount of **niggleness** and made for **origin-ness**.
You guys are way of the mark thinking Robbie should get the nod ahead of Ennis :wink:

I'll take stats over tats any day!
