Statistics can be used to support a point, they cannot be the point.

I do agree however 46 tackles is an official fact while opinions are just that.

Barrie McDermott after 70 minutes of tonight's non contest said Les Catalans had made 1042 tackles to Hull's 602.

He also made an idiot of himself.

An Opta tackle count is a number without explanation. Whether first man in making contact or third man in adding weight, controlling the speed of the following PTB all are registered the same. A mobile defender roaming at loose forward can accrue a high percentage of the latter. Posters who haven't seen the game have no way of relating a raw figure to what occurred during the eighty minutes.

Well you can look at marker tackles, which would more often than not indicate a first up tackle and also who a player working hard to make back to back tackles

Afraid I'll have to go with the majority. If I was to hear that Leeds had scored, say, 30 points in a game I'd not seen I couldn't give a reliable verdict on whether they'd played well.

Listening to a game on the radio and offering an opinion based upon that would provide a more credible opinion.

JJB is an all effort hard working player who has given everything for Leeds every time he was played whether he is 1st 2nd or 7th man in the tackle.
