There's lies, damn lies and statistics.

I would never have believed that, just think what Karl Pryce could have done if he had grown a pair.....

Exactly, just goes to show that stats dont tell the whole story.

another pointless fact;

In the 2009 season so far Leeds have made 3 40/20 kicks. M. Alker has made 3 40/20 kicks. Whereas, in the enitre 2008 season the Bulls managed a grand total of 2 40/20's (one of which was kicked by Hape

)

In 2008 Chris Feather and Stuart Reardon were the 19th and 20th leading drop goal scorers

lol thats one class stat

Or maybe it shows that, as a 18(?) year old, he was given a bit too much of a hard time by an element of the support?

at 19 stone 12lb iestyn harris was the fattest tw*t ever to play stand off in super league

Bet he would have had some pretty major competition if you were comparing when he played at hooker....

(Riddell, Cunningham, Newton....)

One for tigertot...

In 2005, Paul Deacon missed more goals than any other player by quite a considerable margin.

In 2009 Michael Platt has run more metres across the pitch than he has done up and down it.

FACT

Platt 2008 - 119m/game, 6.97m per carry
Webb 2008 - 123m/game, 6.71m per carry

Hmm.

Just a little Joke their; apologies for my banter.

No worries, without it we would never have discovered that Platt is better than Brent Webb.

Who was it that said Statistics meant nothing????

Platt has alot of talent its just a shame he isn't on top form at the moment. I know which one I'd rather have in my team though

Keep your hands off Platt.

Indeed in 2008

Platt - gave away just 7 penalties to Webb's 15
Platt - 18 errors, Webb 30.

No contest. Liabilty that Webb.

Its okay.....We can replace Webb with another fullback....Lee Smith



Who have you got... Oh yeah Paul Sykes......Or that unfit lad who you palmed off to Wakey.

Interesting though isn't it because I bet if you ask just general RL fans who is the better full back 90% of em would say Brent Webb. Wheras the stats (Even I have to admit) suggest Platt is the better

And in 2007
Penalties - Platt 7, Webb - a whopping 18 and 5, yes 5 yellow cards
Errors - Platt 17, Webb 25, and a staggering 30 missed tackles.

Is that the same Lee Smith who gave away 8 penalties in just 15 games and missed 24 tackles? Dear me...

Ahhh so you know him?

See my sig.

Yeah I think it was a joke mate. I'd say more like 99% would say Webb, this is interesting stats not who's the actual better player.

lol is that the same Lee Smith who in 2009 -

3 Penalties (Platt 1)
6 Errors (Platt 3)
5 Missed Tackles (Platt 2)

The one with the chronic back injury that doesn't look the shadow of his former self?
