I could have used the other stats which show Dobbo in the better light, at the end of the day you have no evidence that Chase would have increased his stats in the 10 games he was suspended/banned. The stats are based on performance this season, simple.
And you would have been better off doing so. As I said, you're perfectly entitled to think and say that Dobson is a better player. In fact, I haven't even claimed you're wrong. What I find bizarre is to use a stat that on full analysis suggests the opposite of what you are saying as evidence to support your argument.
The stats are based on this season's performance, you're right. And what they say is that when Chase has played he has provided significantly more try assists than Dobson.

I have never said he is the next Mal Meninga, however you have spent months using him as our scapegoat and claiming he is rubbish when he simply is not.
I haven't used him as our scapegoat, we have had more problems than just him. I have said he is pants though, and the fact that Steve McNamara has now picked him for the England Knights (coincidentally in the first squad since he has signed for Saints) does not lead me to change that opinion. We are well shut of him.
