Beau Scott appreciation thread

[I'm a loser baby...]

He probably read your post and regurgitated as his own words

I reckon plenty of them do get their 'news' off forums. They're not journos, just gossipmongers.

Salary cap doesn't allow it. Your team has too many good players.

I don't think defensive players are that expensive. All the money is in spine players, who are far more involved in attack than in defence.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Please rate our 2016 players in order of attacking prowess so far

I'll give you ten better than Scott:

Radradra
Takairangi
Norman
Foran
Paulo
Ma'u
Edwards
Terepo
Wicks
Pritchard

There's probably more.

Is defence not of equal value to attack?

Well name em merkin ... put up or shut up

Terepo?

It is, however the responsibility thereof is more equally spread across the team. Attack can be (and indeed should be) structured around a handful of key individuals.

I only had to name ten, merkin, to justify not including Scott in our ten best attackers. But I'd say Gordon, Jennings and Gutherson have all done more than him as well. Maybe also Mannah and Moeroa.

Wicks?
Terepo?

Did I stutter?

I didnt ask you to justify your post. I asked you to put em all in order

[hineyrulz]

But has Scott's attack been worse then Watmough's was last season??? I'd say no, and his defence has been just as good if not better.

Watmough's attack was good last year, apart from a couple of bad passes. Seems that's all merkins remember.

I agree. But it still undervalues Scott's worth to our team, in particular. His effect won't be properly measured in stats, at least not the ones currently collected. Does anyone measure speed off the line? And how being slightly quicker actually allows you to affect the following play. And how that inspires the team?

Both a couple of merkins.

Two merkins, one cup.

Well lets call it a quartet then .... merkins

I already said he's been one of our best defenders, and without reference to stats. But his attack has been ordinary, as I expected.

But I agree he's been a great signing.

Still have my suspicions about that clip. And by God I hope they're right.

Anyway, here's to the good old days.

I've tried to blank out that clip.

Yeah, what I was trying to get at was the deficiencies of the current focus of stats.

We didn't get Choc for his stats. We got him for how he'd affect the team. Same with Scott. Only Scott has been far better, and therefore his effect on the team.
