Except he states that the figure is a percentage. So surely 8% of his tackles were missed rather than 8 missed tackles?
Spot on Dilligaf, these are all directly comparable. I have only shown some of the standardised stats, for example the other side to Whiteheads game (from a high % of missed tackles for a forward) is that his metres gained per carry and carries per game are high. The couple of stats I have given are most relevant to a Briggs/Jeffries comparison, and if he is the rumoured player then I hope Briggs is to be allowed to settle into a partnership with Southernwood. the most relevant stats for Mason are metres gained per carry, number of carries per game, number of tackles per game, etc, all of which would make him a good addition to the squad as well as a reasonably low missed tackle %. Once I am happy with all the stats I will put them out. the most time consuming stat is going to be the % available to play, and the % picked/available unless anybody wants to do that for me or can point me in the right direction.
Briggs other stats are pretty average ie metres carried, tackles per game etc, but its only two games. Look at how long it takes some highly skilled foreign players to adapt to the premiership. We need a dedicated stand off asap.
