Can I just point out that this unfit, slow off the mark with poor ball retention player is the Rhinos top Super League try scoer so far this season. Thank you.

You can point it out if you like but only if you explain what that has got to do with anything.

Comparing try scoring stats is so last week around here these days.

Get with the program.

I was just surprised that if he was so unfit, slow off the mark and had poor ball retention that he could actually get up and down the park and hold on to the ball long enough to plonk it over the try line.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but his tries V Hull KR and Warrington were both scored from around 10 metres in the first 6 or 7 minutes weren't they?

In the grand scheme of things how fit did he have to be to score those?

And his try against Celtic was scored from about an inch out after a breather on the bench.

You're absolutely right, he's never a rugby league player, don't know how he ever gets let on the park.

P.S. bit concerned that you're allowing subjectivity to overrule pure statistics tvoc!

I like to lower myself to everyone else's standards now and again just to keep grounded.

I'm not knocking Ablett per se, just the argument that his top scoring status means over much when considering the timing and distances covered of the individual scores.

Are statto's not allowed an opinion too?

Stattoist.

You have to be there to score them.

When the rest of his teammates are camped on the line I'm not really expecting him to be anywhere else to be fair.
