Game Stats

[John Corey]

And here is why I don't pay too much attention to game stats.
Aiden Guerra 6 tackle busts.

That is a $ullshit figure. It gives the impression to ppl who have not seen the game that he demolished the defence 'Taumololo like'.

Anyone who saw last nights game knows that not the case. In fact I don't know where the heck the 6 came from. Whilst he has not been as poor as last year and I know he is really putting in, i just don't see too much upside there.
When we are full strength there are better options.

I agree. If you run sideways and sort of 'fend' someone away, i think that is classified as a tackle bust, even though the defender is holding his position in the defensive line ( hope that makes sense)

Yes stats on their own, used in isolation off all other facts & analysis can be misleading, this isn't anything new.

He had 3 of those busts in one run.....spinning sideways, made minimal gain up the field.

"I think that all of you Aiden Guerra knockers must attend different games from the ones I do. I see Aiden tackle himself to a standstill and take the ball up with determination all game, every game".

That play - the sideways run with multiple palm offs - has a name.

It's called 'the Fifita'.

Correct! like Pearce is the leading kicker in the metres dept. Someone that doesn't know would think that it's a weapon to score points like 3 points shots in basketball...

[Guest]

only a total moron would correlate kick metres with points scored that's probably why roc181 has been confused for years

Guerra did a lot of work last night and made good ground with the ball. What I find infuriating is that he never ever passes. Sometimes you see that something is on if the ball is sent out wide, but then Guerra gets it and you know that he is going to take the tackle. In contrast, Carter works hard, makes good ground and is creative with the ball.

[The Brain]

Does he lack support a lot? I think he does I believe our hooker and halves are asleep.... Turn the clock back he used ti set up a lit of tries. He has slowed down... 2013 to 15 took the shit out of some of our players. He needs a refresh.

Pls let Mrs Bondi Boy know that I don't necessarily disagree with her. I did say that I know he is putting in every week. I'm sure Aiden "Takes the ball up with determination all game, every game" but it's whether those "take ups" are effective. I liken his hitup stats to a guy being awarded a tackle count of 50, with 40 of them being third man in flops.
Boyd Cordner is an example of effective hitups, where he carries the defenders forward or breaks the line.
Sorry, but you can't say that about Guerra.

I read an fb article that said we won't be putting a contract in front of him and is very likely to replace McQueen at the titans.

Apparently prefers Broncos but can't fit him in under the sombrero

Fingers crossed.

The Titans seem like a perfect fit for Guerra.

No way will we offer him a contract with the likes of Butcher coming through. Not to mention SST Liu and Matterson. And young Radley as well!
