Not comparing Semi to JAC..Semi hands down best winger. What I'm saying is these type of players have more than what stats tell you..
Stats wont tell u how a player like JAC sprinted to catch a bloke in goal, pressured the attacker etc..that's the key difference where a stat just does not exist to report on the extra things that makes these blokes so good...
Anyways i think u have missed the point
That's one statistic that can't be measured - I fail to see how one statistic which can't be accurately measured suddenly means that all statistics which can be accurately measured don’t tell a proper picture of what's happening on the field.
The asinine line of reasoning of "stats don't tell the full picture" is generally used by people to try to discredit an opinion which differs from their own.
Ask yourself - will the clubs who are willing to pay $800,000 for Addo-Carr look at the drop-outs he has forced, and think, "Gee, he's worth every cent of that coin!"
There's no doubt that his ability to force drop-outs through sheer speed, or create counter-attacks through raw pace, will be a handsome bonus.
But I'd wager most intelligent clubs would look at tangible statistics to justify his price.
Will they look at his linebreaks, linebreak assists, tries, and try assists, to justify his price tag?
Frankly, I think it's clear cut which scenario is more plausible; furthermore, with statistics like the ones he put up in 2020, Maika Sivo could definitely turn out to be a cheaper, slower (and yet, no less efficient) winger to Addo-Carr, who still produces similar stats to the Fox, if given time to develop his game.
