The Gun

The Bad Boy

Jake Friend may have stepped up and taken on a big load of defensive work, but he is leading the way for missed tackles with 66, and penalties conceded (16).

Wouldn't you expect the player to have made the most tackles to have the most missed tackles? Probably a reason he also concedes the most penalties. Whoever wrote these comments has little understanding of the game

Well said Cockadoodledoo!! Considering other players like Pearce have 278 tackles and 54 missed also Carney has 229 tackles and also 54 missed. There are others with far less tackles and a high number of missed tackles. His error rate is probably frustration at having to do all the work.
