Diego no disrespect but what a pile of crap honestly league is a basic game
The team who's forwards make the most metres dominates the play hence giving plenty of point scoring opportunities to the fast guys to capitalise on the field position they are in because the Good Forwards Make Lots of Metres that's why their in the team
Ff sake talk about over scrutinise a simple bloody game
If the forwards don't make any metres the team loses not rocket science
So Sam makes 150 m plus a game steamrolls over the defensive line and drags 3 players for another 10 m
Yet another pussy forward could get smashed all game and make 10 m total and your trying to tell us the coach will pick the pussy because metres made aren't important it's how he made those 10 m
That's hilarious the heats fried your brain
You said it yourself.
Sams makes metres and drags 3 players forwards- its how he's making those metres
Player b is a pussy and gets smashed every time he he runs the ball- its the way he's making those metres (or lack-off)
Its a response to people who use the metres made as the only yardstick on how a forwards should be judged. That just because a player makes 100m means his had a good game and because a player makes less then 100m he has had a bad game. Turner has his role in the team and its primarily to stay on his edge and pose a threat in set pieces.
Tell me what you'd prefer, 95m from someone like Luke Lewis or greg Bird, who get quick play the balls, have an offload, pose a ball playing threat, good footwork. Or would you prefer 115m from tony wiliams with his flat footedness and taking an eternity you play the ball
George burgess was averaging 136m per game in 2014
He was averaging 132m per game in 2015, almost exactly the same
Most here will agree that George was nowhere near his 2014 form last season
