and you have just showed the board your true level in life!!

shame on you for using sensible stats and views on a Hame bashing thread shame on you, I believe you should be barred from this site for letting facts get in the way of a good player dismantling !!

But your right , and those who play around him love him to bits and look upon him as one of the UKs best impact players

We already know they are thick, we don't need you to confirm it

your an embarrasment to your club

Hmmmm abit like when you said this about a Rovers player earlier in the thread you mean




Whoopsie

I'm no member of the MrPhilb fanclub, but I'd rather read a hundred of his posts than one of yours.

but you just cant resist can you

Can't resist what? Reading your posts? I've read a few today - I've nowt better to do. Don't think I've ever replied to one of your posts before a couple of hours ago. I normally skim past them as they contain 99-100% nonsense.

you crack on and go back to that plan again because I have enough pets at home to deal with..
simple , as you think my posts are dross then dont read them and continue to skim past them rather than stalking me at all times with your anal quips

Stalking? Don't flatter yourself. I just happen to have a bit of time available to point out what a cretin you are. Incidentally, you were going to stop responding to my posts two hours ago. And yet you're still here.

Get a room you two

still reading his posts though

they love each other really!!!!

I never made some grand gesture to say that I would stop reading his posts, I just said that I usually don't. I have a bit more time on my hands than usual today. Maybe the old saying is true, and the devil really does make work for idle hands.

To test the theory, I'm off to do something that will occupy my hands for ten minutes or so.

Maybe so. Forgetting all of that for whatever reason i dont think we are getting the best of Lauaki.

We have the stats debate on here fairly regularly and they can pretty much be interpreted in whatever way they want. Whats a tackle bust for example? I believe a tackle bust may be when a player drops off a tackle but without making a clean break. Lauaki's handoff is therefore going to give him loads of tackle breaks. Doesnt mean it's the best stat though. I'd rather he ran his weight and topped the clean breaks stat.

He beats willi on that stat!! So although stats are not the be all and end all,they can make good points,ie hame is difficult to tackle,therefore usefull to the team as a whole. Even if he isn't firing on all cylinders at the mo! Which makes it exciting to think about when he is! Hopefully in time for playoffs!

Deary me, they don't allow a sense of humour in your ward?

100% agree, and it's still true of a few players despite our improvement this season (imagine how good we could be!). I think Lauaki is one who definitely deserves a bit more time though.

I think I've somehow logged on to this board in some sort of parallel universe.

That's what's frustrated me for the last few seasons. I am imagining how good we could be but we rarely seem to operate at that level.

Which is why I don't like to try and pin it on individuals unless it really does seem to inarguably lie with them. With it being multiple players not producing their best, IMO it is more likely to be some common denominator along the way (and before this is seen as an attempt to derail into an Agar-bashing thread, it could be him, it could be something else).

maybe so,but there are still only 3 teams above us.
