[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 923118, member: 65365"] come on, be serious, quoting tries that a forward scores isn't proof of how good they are, because that' not their main job. Different players play different roles of course, and Reads has been a more open running role (I actually think the coaches need to direct him back toward that sort of role to be honest), but Vermeulen's impact in the tight is extraordinary. To make the point about stats a bit further, what do the stats say on contributions to securing rucks? They don't, that's what. So even in the realm they reside (objectively measurable things) they are lacking. [/QUOTE]
