[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 593411, member: 67273"] The only thing that Geoff is better at IMO, is as an individual jumper in the lineout. He's more disruptive of opposition ball and takes more himself, but I think there isn't all that much between them as lineout "generals". Attwood is demonstrably better as a ball carrier and tackler though. For example - In last year's Premiership: Attwood made 10 metres per match on average - beating 1 in 5 defenders. Parling made 7 metres per match on average - beating 1 in 34 defenders. They both made an average of 7.5 tackles per match. Attwood missed 1 in 13 tackles. Parling missed 1 in 9 tackles. Penalties: Both concede about 1 [I]every other[/I] game. (Parling slightly less at 0.4pm vs Attwood's 0.5pm) Turnovers: Attwood conceded 1 every 3 games - Parling conceded almost 1 per game. [/QUOTE]
