I refer the honourable gentleman to my previous statements:

Today he was good & will probably get a high OPTA tackle count. However, if you were there you will have seen a guy with tremendous heart & effort, but falling off the tackle on many occasions, which could prove fatal against a decent side.

If Carlsberg did OPTA stats, they would probably add a column for "Falling off tackles"...

Look, as I stated, I think he had a good game with lots of heart & effort. He has really stepped up for us during our "injury crisis".

What the spectators see with their own eyes either live or on TV forms nothing more than opinion which we are all entitled to and which differs greatly.

While professionally produced stats do not tell the whole story they are accepted by the clubs and coaches as factual and form important KPIs when players performances are analysed after the match. OPTA pour over videos of each match with plenty of rewinds to get their figures out the next morning. Yes they will make the odd human error but they do not have the emotional and in some cases agenda driven "eyes" that the fans often have.

For instance you stated that Walters fell off tackles "on many occasions" but failed to be precise with what you mean by "fell off the tackles" and failed to quantify the "many occasions"

So tell me in just how many of Walters 57 tackles did he fall off?

I saw 4. How many did you see? I saw Cam Smith drop off 0. How many did you see?

(I said many occasions, as 4 is too many & there may have been more that were on the far side that I missed)

HTH

To be fair 4 out of 57 is not too bad a return.
What is that in percentages around 7% meaning he had a 93% success rate which is impressive.
Btw I`m not a big fan of Walters but those stats right or wrong are good.

Which is what I said in my first post - I just mentioned that he does have a tendency to slip off tackles, which COULD prove critical in a semi- or final against a top team.

But you could say that about any player not just Walters.
