It is about the amount of metres per hitup actually kiddo. An Oil drum could make metres if he was contstantly rolled at a bunch of people standing ten metres away, it's average would be low but it'd still get those metres. If you look at the average metres per hitup it's a better indication of how effective a player is when he's given the ball. By the way those players you mentioned are both props, not back-rowers, therefore its obvious they are going to make more metres than a back rowere, it's their main priority.
All I said was Thuggy wasn't an 80 minute player, he's a prop too so see above.
Hindmarsh is a workhorse but he is also a great attacking player, so by losing him the kangaroos need to cover both aspects. Creagh offers a lot more in attack than Morrison and they probably thought that his workrate is good enough, along with the rest of the players in the sqaud, to cover for the loss of Hindmarsh. See your precious stats if you want it confirmed.
The last 5 games are a good indicator of form, why take an out of form player over an in-form player? How exactly did Morrison prove to be the better player overall? Did you not read this:
Tackles : GM 29.8, BC 16.8 - Morrison
Offloads : GM 0.8, BC 0.4 - Morrison
Line Breaks : GM 0.2, BC 0.4 - Creagh
Hitups : GM 7.6, BC 8.4 - Creagh
Metres : GM 59.2, BC 67.8 - Creagh
Errors : GM 1.0, BC 0.6 - Creagh
Mistackles : GM 3.6, BC 2.2 - Creagh
Creagh is overrated. Accept it. As I said before what's so special about the number 5? Comparing over the course of the entire year is far more meaningful. You don't make the 8 based on your last 5 games. Way to ignore everything I said about Cayless and Omeley.

what kind of brain-dead buffoon wanders into a dragons forum trying to convince them that one of their players isn't worthy of a rep team?
luca's been p*ssed on because he's basically a mental case. the fact that you've seen fit to justify his stance makes you equally a felchpot.
f*ck off back to a forum that WANTS to have a discussion with you. we'd prefer to wipe our arses with you sweetie.
You just keep proving how dumb you are the more you post. WAAH! I DONT CARE WHAT YOU SAY THAT'S WHY I'LL KEEP HAVING HISSY FITS LIKE A 5 YEAR OLD! Don't call me sweetie. You disgust me. You've just proven you're drowing in your own bias and aren't capable of having an objective POV.
You're a moron who is obviously incapable of digesting the information presented to you. I'm not saying Morrison should necessarily be the replacement. I'm saying Creagh shouldn't be because he isn't good enough at this stage. HAHAHA comparing Creagh to Tallis is an insult to Tallis.Ribs said:Mung nuts, you should have just walked after seeing these stats, considering you're a stat bitch.
Creagh plays like Tallis did when he was young, with a little less raw aggression but as effective. Ive been looking forward to watching him play rep footy since seeing him hammer blokes in reserve grade last season.
Why dont you ring up your mate Morrison and watch the tri nations on tv with him. Might cheer you both up. Until then, take a long walk off a short pier and shut the f*ck up.

Your statement has NO creedence, you wouldn't know a football if it hit you in the head. As far as recognising talent, you wouldn't know sh*t from clay if you tasted it.
Holy sh*t. How did you come up with such an eloquent insult? Did you figure it out on your own or did your get your missus to help? I mean I wouldn't know a football. I'm only posting on a football forum idiot. Also I can recognise talent and you obviously have none.
