some other stats
white 79 metres
tll 62 metres
waterhouse 58 metres
cosigan 41 metres
crocker 25 metres
johnson 76 metres
price 69 metres - same as perry (he must be a joke of a player)
thaiday 73 metres
but perry plays for manly so he must be crap - get some perspective people and actually watch the game for a change
Haha yeah, it's all because he plays for Manly :roll: If you're going to use stats use tem properly. Also, if you want to talk about perspective, how about the fact that Perry was a starting prop in a winning NSW team? He's meant to lead the NSW pack but did he even make metres? The only forward who did worse in terms of metres per run (out of that insightful list you provided) was Crocker and he's a back rower in a losing side.
cosigan 41 metres (10.25m/run), 9 tackles

perry 69 metres (5.75m/run), 12 tackles
crocker 25 metres (5m/run), 24 tackles
Not only was Perry ineffective in attack he can't even fall back on his involvement in defence, like the likes of Price, Waterhouse and even Crocker can.
Even if you want to argue that Price was just as bad he's got years of brilliant performances at club and representative level to fall back on while Perry has maybe a decent year from last year and a handful of rep games where he has never stood out.
You could probably argue that TLL was just as "bad" but he's a rookie, Perry is supposed to be a seasoned campaigner.
