Quote ="G1"Actually, you were be wrong.
What he did defensively was more like what he always does but what he did with the ball this week was what we'd all asked of him, to up his work rate.
His carries were almost half as many again as they were in the Catalan game.'"
I accept that Gareth. But the team had an additional 200 carries to do this week. Therefore you would expect the individuals carries to increse accordingley. Infact if you ignore its the job of the forwards and divide the extra carries by all 17 players, then each should be carrying 11 more times.
Bailey increased his carries by 4. So in reality, did he really up his game, in relation to the team?
I think the point Gilder made with the defensive percentage of the team is still a good point though.
