Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3057889, member: 1992"] You know the funny thing about stats? A team like Melbourne which scores a lot of points quite correctly has great stats. So stats matter. What stats don't measure is prejudgement, prejudice, jealousy, pettiness, bias and agendas. Years ago Steve Price was considered the best prop in the game and it turns out he had the best stats. Narrowly mind you but the best stats. In second place, by the tiniest margin was a prop who on this forum and in the view of the state of origin selection panel was shit, not good enough. The props who were third through tenth read like the a top ten should, their stats were all good and they were the talked about players. My point is simple. People always trot out he line that stats mean nothing when it suits their narrative. In my example the stats were spot on for everyone in the top ten except one, the unfashionable prop who was number two. Then, in his case alone, apparently stats meant nothing. [/QUOTE]
