[QUOTE="Kiwi_, post: 743100, member: 71618"] Yeah I understand all that and in theory it works well but when put to practice it does not always work well. SBW would be a good example with a really high tackle rate, but he doesn't bring much else to the table. Stats can obscure an impact a player has on the game, they might not have as many line breaks for example, but they might make a game breaking decision that resulted in a try in another area that another stronger line breaker would not have made. Conrad Smith is a good example here. When you put the stats up between Kirindrani and Conrad Smith, Kirindrani looks the far superior centre and player, but we all know that's not the case. [/QUOTE]
