compared to the NHS, your joking right

Thanks for that insightful analysis of the relative abilities of the two players.

I've jus done a Karl Pyrce v Harrison Hanson thing on that site.

Hanson has missed 5 times as many tackles.
Price has made 11 times more tackle bursts.

So Price is at least five times better than Hanson, and you could argue, if you were an , that he is 11 times better.

Well, no. As they play in completely different positions.

I rate Hansen, but Harrison is definitely better.

I was just pointing out that quoting a few stats doesn't tell you anything.

<pointless contribution mode> This made me properly LOL </pointless contribution mode>

Why do all these topics RE Wire and Wigan always end up in dick measuring contests? Little squabbles such as "Hansen is better... no Harrison is better" blah blah blah. Fair enough, i appreciate that this is a forum and everyone is entitled to their own opinion etc but it is getting kind of boring now.

Tomorrow we will see the best 2 teams in the country with a near sell out crowd appreciating 2 quality rugby league teams. I for one will be appreciating both teams on show with some of the best players in the competition on show.

I started this thread with high hopes, don't know why.

Although Rogues claiming Hanson is better than Harrison was quite a gem.

Just like Ainscough was last season and look what happened to him

Meters made Twice as many as Hansen
Carries Twice as many as Hanson
Offloads Six times more than Hansen
Tackle Busts Ten times more than Hansen

Give me Harrison over Hansen

Overly optimistic?

Supremely optimistic, as always.

You can't compare the stats though. We've scored 37 tries to Wigan's 23, so we'll win at a cantor wont we?

We are only 5/6 games in, towards the end of the season after both players have 20+ games under their belt then perhaps, but you are still faced with the fact that individual stats will always be skewed in favour of the player in the better team.

Both good players, not great. ask me who has the potential to become great, only one answer.

I'll go for hopeful, when considering tomorrow night.

STUPID STATS
250% more meters made by BH, made by twice as many carries in only 1 more game? Shows who puts his hand up to do the hard stuff. For getting involved in the game a hell of a lot more, your going to inevitably make more errors and give away penalties! And people say HH is a workhorse? OK then try again...
Quote Stevo - Harrison's a freak!

So yeah Benny any day thanks pal

Or Penny

Correct.

We have heard he has to use velcro because he can't tie his laces.

(joke)

Why come on here and insult your own player?

The subject of the quote was Hanson. So if you use he as a pronoun, by the way a pronoun is a word that replaces a noun, you can only do so (without explicit reference to) for the sudject of the first clause not the subordinate one.

Allow me to explain, you wrote;

We have heard he has to use velcro because he can't tie his laces

Due to quote you used Hasen replaces he

So substituting the pronoun you used for the proper noun.

We have heard hansen has to use velcro because hansen can't tie his laces

I'm not sure this is what you meant. Try again.

OI play nice... Some have school in the morning!

The dick measuring was started by the Wigan fans because I dared to suggest that all their players aren't world beaters. They chose to miss the part where I praised the coaching set-up and alot of their players. A few then proceeded to claim players are better than our's at the sames positions. I also listed players at our own club who I would class as average and product of good systems. Yet again, that was ignored. Just shows the ignorance and stupidity that fans display when their team is questioned.

Not true.
You proclaimed that Wigan had a lot of average players.



When challenged you came up with


No mention of average Warrington players at this point, only Saints ones although the Dwayne West is quite tenuous one as he only started eight games for Saints and had 15 subs appearances in three seasons.

Tommy Leuluai is a World Cup winner, a four nations winner and a m.o.m, in last years Grand Final winning team.

At no point have I stated that Ben Harrison is an average player (I actually think that he is a good player) it's just that Harrison Hansen IMO is a better all round player, and is certainly NOT average.

HTH

and with that m'lud, I rest my case for the poorer Hansen in this "arguement"

Wigans team is greater than the sum of its parts and I feel are more of a star team than a team of stars. Individually the Warrington team is stronger, particularly when all are fit.

We shall see.

I'd probably agree with that. I do think however that Warrington are a lot more overly reliant on 2 or 3 players (Briers/Morley/Monaghan) than Wigan, I feel we could cope with key players being out better (see Hudds last week for example, Tomkins/Finch/Fielden etc out.)
