For 2018
Fifita was 10th on the list of most tackles made (Trinity players only) and 19th on the Misssed tackles list - 436 made, 19 missed - About 4.2%
Ashurst was top of the tackle count and 6th in the missed tackle count - 1058 made, 46 missed - About 4.35%

For 2019 (only 2 games but..)
Fifita is 3rd in tackle count, 14th in missed tackle count - 67 made, 1 missed - Just under 1.5%
Ashurst is top in tackle count, 19th in missed tackle count - 70 made, 0 missed - 0%


Of the players around Fifita in the number of tackles made last year
England - Made 500, Missed 38 = 7.1% Missed
Miller - Made 491, Missed 107 = 17.9% Missed
Batchelor - Made 485, Missed 22 = 4.3% Missed
Huby - Made 428, Missed 34 = 7.4% Missed
Hampshire - Made 422, Missed 52 = 11% Missed
Lyne - Made 418, Missed 41 = 8.9% Missed

So, of the 3 players either side of him in terms of tackles made, plus the best tackler in the club, he missed less as a percentage than any of them.
He also conceded 11 less penalties than Ashurst did (17 vs 28)

I know stats are not everything but the statement that Bozo42 made is clearly a load of tosh!!

Excellent info and no doubt time consuming. He did ask about penalty stats though not tackles!

Great work/stats those Fordy.
But we knew that about him already - as he does it all the time.....

Can you give the penalty stats please

He gave away 17 last season, so that's an average of less than one per match. Somewhat less than the Airedale Aussie would suggest.

Does include a part that might indicate why this rumour has started going back to what I said a few pages back about his agent probably starting it

Carter said: “We’ve not sat down with him. “We’re in no rush, we are two games into another long season.”

Totally agree. Being in a rush suggests slight desperation/urgency which can result in increased demands but waiting could also suggest complacency/confident of a deal so I guess its a fine line and thankfully one I don't have to sort out. MC and team are pretty shrewd so until I see confirmation he is going or gone he's still a Wakefield player

Re: FIFITA : Mon Feb 18, 2019 1:32 pm  

I'm a huge DF fan but I think the club have got this one right. It is a long season and I would love DF to stay if he continues to show the form he did last season, but we shouldn't resign him on the basis of last season but rather this season's form.
I'm sure he will produce the goods and, hopefully he will want to stay with us!

Big fish in a little pond springs to mind with big dave ,and would his affable nature go down that well at the bigger clubs or his layed back demeanour.
Remember sinfield some years ago saying Leeds don’t push the boat out on players wages and he could have gone to other clubs for more but they used the lure of cups and medals to snare players .
Personally think big dave is always going to move on sooner or later it’s the nature of the game ,so let’s savour the time we have with him and be thankful that he chose to play part of his career in the famous red/white and blue shirt.
Didn’t know much about him before he signed but has certainly left a big impression on me ,and really happy in the knowledge that the club can attract players of his caliber, that only a few years ago wouldn’t give us a second glance .
