Opta Query : Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:24 pm  

One for all you budding stattos out there who (like me) occasionally like to use Opta to highlight a player's input/output:

[url=http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics_player.php?hs1=2009&hp1=279&hs2=2009&hp2=2422&stat=tries&season=2009]Can anyone spot the deliberate mistake?

Easy mistake to make what with Burrow and Kirke looking like two peas in a pod.

How Lauitiiti missed out on a try assist for Hall's first is another mystery.

1-0 to Kirke in the 40/20's! Kirke's one kick in general play seems dubious too.

This week three Leeds players have been given try assists out of the six tries scored. McGuire for the kick on Donald's try Burrow for the kick on Hall's second and Sinfield for either his pass for Leuluai or Burrow or Peacock as he supplied the final ball to all three. But Lauitiiti zippo for Hall's first. I guess Opta can explain WTF is going on but it beats me and you have to wonder whether the rest of what they produce is equally suspect. Bearing in mind that I'm only going off the online stuff here where Bradford are making less errors and missing less tackles that Leeds.

I once enquired with Opta how much a full seasons stats would cost - £1500.

If I’d paid £1500 for stats like those in tvoc link I would have been more than disappointed.

I can see from my spreadsheet that the Kirke kick in general play occurred V Wigan and given that he left the field semi concussed inside the opening twenty it shouldn't be difficult to find.

Another one over to Opta.

Maybe they supply a £1500 version and what we get to see is the free version.

From here it appears their quality control dept could do with an overhaul.

Scott Donald zero tackles with zero misses yet where was he when his opposite number (Ainscough) crossed unopposed?

In RL&LE this morning it said he made 0 and missed 1

I also noticed that Paul McShane had only made 1 try assist according to the website but I can remember 2 off the top of my head. Hull KR and Celtic.

Never mind that. What about the shocking attempt down the wing after that, where my 7 year old son would have had the strength to push Ainscough into touch?

If that was not a missed tackle, what is?
