Another one who, without hindsight-bias, was confused when we let Amor go and said so at the time after the first year at Wakefield. He was the best prop on the pitch other than JP in our games with the Wildcats that year, looked impressive in the other couple of games I saw him television, and got rave reviews all season on the Wakey board. If it was a salary or space issue, the decision, loyal or not and decent as Kylie was last year, to keep Kylie was incorrect if it was a straight choice between him and the much younger man. And that's without bringing Kirke or Bailey into it or considering this year. Isn't that *exactly* what a loan to a SL club is for? To give a promising player first-team experience, get them battle-hardened and see how they cope before promoting them back into the fold?
Also, weren't we courting Alex Walmsley for a while, with reports of GH wining him at Headingley? He's a work in progress, but The spot he would have taken was filled up by Mitch Achurch, possibly to justify an otherwise empty-handed jaunt down-under. The Peacock succession policy would look a lot smoother with those two on the books.
Could be worse though. To Backwoodsman, there is soething that can surpass turning Jason Robinson away, and that's turning Ellery Hanley away.

I believe i too was one who presented the case for Amor to be retained after his one year loan spell at Wakefield never mind when they needed to sell him recently.
I quite understand Amors reluctance to want to come back to us after we left him out to dry and even if we could have paid the asking price I see him turning us down.
Barry Mac raved about him whilst he was at Leeds so it is even more surprising nobody listened to him.
Certainly would have been the best we had after JP.
Not to worry Hill, Walmsley and Amor have gone now but we have got Yates.
Lets hope he makes up for our loss.

You cant snap up every potential and snap up every potential that will make it.
Look at Paul Johnson, who caught the eye at Dewsbury.
Wakefield and Hull snapped him up, now he's at Widnes at potentially his last crack to keep in Super Leagues. Hes found the jump up between divisions tough. |

That`s true but we were apparently looking at Walmsley and could/should have got it before Saints and we had Amor twice and let him go even though others rated him highly.
My point is we seem to miss out on the good signings or potential good signings which is a worry.
I hope young Yates is as good as those we have missed or let go.
Someone has seen the potential in him and that is good news for the long term future in our need to strengthen the pack. |

The fact that the Opta stats are incomplete (while being a perfectly true statement) was never the critical flaw in your comparison between 2012 and 2013 - it was always an element =#FF0000[size=150you[/size introduced which skewed the results. That skew (innocently made or not) just happened to favour your conclusion but do the accurate figures?
Either add the missing game's stats into the 2012 figures or remove those additional games from the 2013 figures - so that a comparison (even one that uses an incomplete data set) can be made.

So how is 2013 incomplete in terms of games played?
Simple question.

That surprises me. Regardless of completeness, The Printer's averages, in most cases, differ quite widely between the years. Some player performances during those missing games must have been, to quote Mick Morgan, darbolical in 2013 and excellent in 2012 to narrow or even close those gaps. |

Simple question.'"
Which has already been simply answered. Those Opta stats have never included all 1st grade games played in any of the seasons they list. They came closer to doing so in 2013 but they are still incomplete.
The relevant part remains that anyone producing averages in order to compare 2013 to any previous season would need to take care that the previous season/s used the equivalent data set.
ThePrinter didn't do this which is why his figures for 2012 were understated giving the false impression of 'across the board improvements' (at least according to the Opts stats) an impression that is unsupported when applying the comparable data set for 2012.
The error has been acknowledged and a corrected post has been previously promised but which is still to appear.
So which is it - can't produce an accurate comparison or won't produce one? |

I carn't spake.
The completeness of either season's data set wasn't the crucial flaw introduced by ThePrinter that materially changed the outcome.
The inability to produce meaningfull averages for one half of the comparison is where it went pear-shaped.
As stated above his error has been acknowledged, just awaiting his previously promised corrections now. |

No it hasn't, you've waffled on for ages hoping that length of reply would hide the fact you haven't answered.
WHAT GAMES FROM 2013 ARE MISSING FOR THOSE 6 FORWARDS THAT MAKE 2013 "INCOMPLETE"????
It's like dealing with a child who isn't grown up enough to just say "2013 wasn't incomplete, I was wrong." |

| Tvoc you've gone suspiciously quiet on the subject, you said 2013 was incomplete in terms of games, I have the following.....
Leuluai = 22 games
Bailey = 14
Delaney = 18
Clarkson = 23
Kirke = 29
JJB = 22
So please correct them and list the correct number of games as 'apparently' mine are incomplete. |
