Can someone smarter than me put up the stats of Garner v Martin. Avg. runs, run metres, errors etc?

The fact Garner has had injury troubles all year, which apparently proves Martin has played well, yet has performed the way he has is all credit to him.

Can you show me the “Laziness” statistic. That’s a new one.

It’s your opinion based on your observations without any facts or idea of what’s going on behind the scenes.

It’s fine to have your opinion, but you need to know that’s all it is.

You tally up how many times Ivan makes the same face as the misses when you don't do a job around the house and you have your laziness stat.

I don't think I have the time.

But I will say that Garner has better Supercoach points. An all important statistic.

All I've been reading for 2 days is nothing about how shit Tago is, because he found form and had a great game on Friday night, so he must have been moved from death row.

But now poor old Liam Martin has been moved from general population and is awaiting the guillotine because Luke Garner scored 2 tries.

The guy gets pummelled and bashes blokes every week, obviously plays hurt with niggling injuries, has had a different half near him every other week, but NO, crucifixion is the only way for him, for the good of the fans, not the team.

Ease up you so called Panthers fans, players are like beer, there's no real bad ones, but some are better than others.

Tago was good. That's the standard we knew he had in him and wish he was achieving. It's not that he's bad quite the contrary it's a good player not playing to their own standard. Martin is the same story this season. Likely playing injured and not playing to his own high standards except for when with NSW. We finally saw beast Martin Vs Roosters but that shouldn't take away from another Panther who's been consistent in Luke Garner.

The garner one is especially note worthy since no one rated him while at the tigers.

Look, I get it. For the 4th year straight we've had a slightly different side and this year it just wasn't as superior as the past.

But, the other sides out there are different too, and maybe, just maybe, they have improved some.

Any side is only as good as their opposition let's them be.

Factor in all the variables, injury, suspension, form and then do the same for the opposition and bingo, different results from the same players.

Crucifying individual players because the perceived standards are not met is plain and simple, nasty.

Other teams being better effects tries etc. not sure a team being good forces a good player to start dropping the ball and so on

Penalties aside, good tackle techniques do cause a lot of dropped ball.

Doesn't mean a social media crucifixion is called for after mistakes.

Sometimes we just get outplayed.
