Not sure how to write an introduction for this thread but he was immense tonight for Melbourne.

Take a look at http://live.nrlstats.com/matches/nrl/match18584.html and you will see he had 108 receives of the ball, basically double everyone on the field for either side. Hate him, like him, dislike him, love him, he is the most influential hooker ever.

100+ is common for 80 minute hookers. If Ballin played 80 minutes tonight he'd have 100+ touches. Whilst Smith had a great game, it's certainly not this particular stat that vouches for that.

Round 15 at Brookvale, playing 5/8th, 111 touches. Granted Ballin got 102 at hooker for Manly but for him to get 111 at 5/8th is ridiculous. I cbf'ed working it out but would love to know if he averages over 100 receives per game....

I can't believe that an 80 minute hooker touched the ball more times then anyone else on the field

Did a goal kicker score the most points this year and a back the most tries too?

I was about to post the same thing.

In the Dogs-Manly semi two weeks back Ennis and Ballin touched the ball 99 and 98 times respectively in a game where the possession went 52-48.

Melbourne had 64% of possession last night.

It's rare for Farah not to touch the ball 100 times in a game. In his last two matches this year he had 128 and 123 possessions.

He's the best player in the game, and he also has the most punchable face in the game as well.

Why was he the only player manager (he acted for himself) not to be suspended as a result of Melbourne's salary cap cheating?
