[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 326569, member: 12332"] Unlike a soccer player who (for 10/11 players) only has one notable skill and can be rated based on that number, a rugby player is a specialist at what he does. Saying "McCaw and Du Prez both deserve a rating of 92" shares about as much information as your typical group of 18 year old females preparing for an evening of cheep vodka and nightclub toilet sex. You have to compare apples with apples, so while a McCaw should only be compared to other backrow players, Ashton should only be compared to other fullbacks/wingers. etc. Then to bump it further along, instead of just estimated percentages that players ratings should be based on workable figures; eg (based on wings & fullbacks): Speed will be how quckly that player can sprint 60m (so Habana, Ashton, Rockocoko etc will have figures around the 10/11 second mark, bigger & slower Banahans etc will be closer to 15) Defence should be based on a 1/10 (ranging from 1=crap--->10=amazing) system, as would many other features of the player. Then there are position specific components of the players; a winger will never prop, while a hooker will never take a high ball, sidestep at full sprint and dash 70m to score. So these should be taken into consideration also. Once you apply all these elements into the game then using the 1/100 system would mean nobody should ever have a rating about 75-80 and it would be pretty nominal with the odd exceptions, most players between 50-75 and maybe Dan Carter alone at 88, just because he actually is good enough to play literally anywhere amongst the backs for any team in the world. Or maybe if people prefer basic systems which offer more then just number-crunching, a "[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars_%28series%29"]Premiership Stars[/URL]" or similar system should be introduced.
