Out of interest have you notice the way they get off loads has changed (at least I only noticed it this year after noticing a jnr fella have a lot of success last year with it). They try to get the arm with ball up over the wrestling hyenas and sort of overhand it. They almost all use to be underarm or (riskier) to the side.
Interesting. I am guessing Ryles had said if you aren't in that position you mentioned, don't pass

Maybe matto has taken this long to adjust

The main job is good decision making / give good crisp passes from DH. He is a work in progress at that.
His main asset is he is a fit little bastard - so yeah work rate is very important and probs big part of why he is now number 1.
I wonder how they measure "effective tackles"? If they say he made 55 Ts at 95% effective does that mean out of none of those 95% did the Sea Eagles get momentum?

I'm guessing an effective tackle is one where the player getting tackled actually has to end up playing the ball.
Meaning you don't allow an offload or a tackle break.

Because the single game is disproving your theory, which is all that is required for falsification of the theory. Proving a theory true (impossible to do with 100% certainty in the uncontrolled environment of the real world) is where increased confidence should arise as the size of the sample increases. But disproving a theory only requires one counterexample:

"Suppose a theory proposes that all swans are white. The obvious way to prove the theory is to check that every swan really is white – but there’s a problem. No matter how many white swans you find, you can never be sure there isn’t a black swan lurking somewhere. So you can never prove the theory is true. In contrast, finding one solitary black swan guarantees that the theory is false. This is the unique power of falsification: the ability to disprove a universal statement with just a single example – an ability, Popper pointed out, that flows directly from the theorems of deductive logic."

I drafted Kautoga into my Fantasy side last week

One of a few that didnt let me down in a loss to the league leaders

Might pick more Parra players. Fox has been a brilliant acquisition to The Lightening Turtles, though disappointing last start..
