[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 625294, member: 55446"] People preferring Nowell to May... Last game: Nowell: 0/0 tackles, 0 clean breaks, 3 defenders beaten, 41 meters, 11 runs, 3 passes May: 5/0 tackles, 2 clean breaks, 6 defenders beaten, 80 meters, 11 runs, 5 passes vs. Scotland: Nowell: 3/0 tackles, 1 clean break, 2 defenders beaten, 26 meters, 7 runs, 3 passes May: 1/0 tackles, 2 clean breaks, 7 defenders beaten, 92 meters, 11 runs, 7 passes Come on guys. I know stats aren't everything, but it's just simply one-sided at the minute... May is simply better in most facets than Nowell. He's faster, better in the air, a better runner (Nowell runs far more direct, once taking a forward on at 5m out and being held in the choke, May probes for gaps and darts inside), is more inclined to make a pass and bring others into the game, both players are good in defence, but May is generally likelier to be in position in the kicking game, and as far as which one of them has looked more likely at scoring a try... IMO it's May vs. Yarde vs. Wade for 2 spots. I don't doubt Nowell can be better, but I personally think that it's a little too soon for him to be a serious contender. A great prospect, but hard to hit your potential after half a season of professional rugby. [/QUOTE]
