Very droll

We should try nearly killing them in a spaceship accident, leaving them men barely alive. Coming back from that type of thing leaves you able to run at 60 miles an hour, have the strength of a bulldozer and supersonic eyesight in one eye.

The only drawback is the cost. Somewhere in the region of £3683241.25, I'm told.

Like it.

So back to my original point, he has scored 19 trys in 13+1 appearances against Cas?

Told you, you were a pedant.

Is it pedantry to correct an incorrect statement?



If I were what you claim I am I'd have to point out it's tries not trys ..... but I'm not, so I won't.

Watch your neck though, definitely doesn't work on necks.

Thread titles that sound like TV detectives.

Alright pedant. So he scores 1.45 tries =#FF4040every game. But he did manage to go one without, so actually that ratio is higher.

Duly noted.

I'll design my costume with extra neck support, and stay clear of horse riding.

No he doesn't, how can you score .45 of a try?

And in any case so what if he does score 1.45 on average V Castleford?

The incorrect part of your otherwise correct statement was highlighted in red.

End of, girlfriend.

Just for you tvoc, and only because it's you, I will rephrase it.

McGuire has an amazing try scoring record agains cas, and =#FF4000nearly always scores against them.

And by the way the 1.45 is incorrect as well.

Danny McGuire: Average number of Tries V Castleford

By Appearance - 1.357 (19/14)
By Start - 1.462 (19/13)
Exclude Non Scoring Appearance - 1.583 (19/12)

Now this does feel a little pedantic if I'm being entirely honest.

That's better but isn't that more or less what you put in the first place.

Oooh a pedantry fest - let me in



Actually the ratio of tries to games doesn't change just because he failed to score in one of them.

For that to work, you would have to change it to the ratio of tries to games [iin which he scores[/i.

That was in 1974. You could by a house for 5 grand and it was 8p a pint for beer (not lager, lager hadn't been invented back then)
