Or as phil Clarke would say hauraki is leading in the KPI.

For me it shows how stats can be misleading. Hauraki looked good pre season but I would have both Clarkson (C) and Pitts (P) above him in the pecking order

I don't think it is misleading to record that Hauraki in the same number of games this year made:

1. more than twice the metres than P and 4 times then number of C. or
2. a third more carries than P and 2.3 time that of C or
3. 10% more tackles than either P or C or
4. 5 busts against zero from P & C or
5. 3 offloads against 2 form P and zero from C

On the negative side Hauraki has made 3 more errors and given away 3 more penalties than either P or C but these were in that bad performance against Wigan when he also missed more tackles.

So as I said he makes more impact, both positive and negative, than either Pitts or Clarkson but on the whole his positive far outways his negative. He is capable of hot headed stupidity but last season he sorted this out and made a valuable contribution to the 2nd half of last season

IMO I would play Hauraki and Pitts as despite Clarkson improving at Salford he doesn't offer enough impact from the bench.

Here she goes again.

Nice to have so many options that even with JJB out of action, there's still decent competition for shirts in our second row.

Too many half empty glasses round here if you ask me.

Yes your posts do have that effect.

Don't worry at least we won't have to listen to the 'Rob Burrow made the most tackle busts' spiel this week.

It's funny how quickly one week's KPI can become the following week's LRS when the figure doesn't support a particular viewpoint.

Put Ellis in the mix and we'd have an embarrassment of wealth in the back row.
