I too have been impressed after finding him a big disappointment up to 2014.

The sceptic in me wondered if it was to do with i) being in the final year of his contract and ii) standing out in a lower quality side, but if he keeps performing then who cares what I think?!

Adam Henry is firmly is his scapegoat shoes now. You've got to go some to miss more tackles than Danny Addy. And not just that, far far fewer completed tackles too.

Henry; 141 tackles, 45 misses. 75.8% tackle success.
Addy; 239 tackles, 38 misses. 86.3% tackle success.
Kearney; 82 tackles, 29 misses. 73.9% tackle success.

Oh and just for fun...
Foster; 19 tackles, 9 misses. 67.8% tackle success.

TBF Addy being in the forwards will have more occasions he's called upon to make a tackle than a centre or fullback so will have far more completed tackles in total.

Those stats aren't exactly Mumby-esque though!

Just wondering - is it time to make a round 12 thread?

Do we really have to join this Eddie and Stevo-ist nonsense of calling league games 'rounds'?

I looked twice and three times at this thread title thinking surely it's the quarter final we play them in - and though, obviously, we didn't play in the early rounds - I thought surely it couldn't have been the 11th round.





Then the penny dropped.....enough, I say, enough!!

Shouldn't that be the pence dropped?

This Eddie and Stevo nonsense is how SL refer to the games in their own competition.

In these days of closing Public Houses I suspect a lot of people may now be unfamiliar with the real meaning of "a round"

It's what Brian Wilson gets, isn't it?

True. That tigertot, for one.

Joking about the willingness of others to buy beer, that's classic commentator nonsense. We'll be criticising each other's ties next.
