Puletua missed one tackle and only made 19 in the whole match - terrible for a prop that.



Roby missed two tackled but I believe made 45 in the whole match; Wilkin was our second best tackler. Moore was our third best tackler with I think 29 tackles but ruined it by



Yes, I'd say Puletua was having a snooze!

Always quite liked Moore as a player but he does seem to give away alot of silly penalties at the wrong times

is 46 tackles by Buderus a GF record?

Only one of these is a 'classic' and even this can sometimes go out of tune!

Could well be, will G1 put that in his sig?

Thought so, it was the only one I can remember. I think we should get a GPS tracker on Shirkey, where does he hide when we have ball in hand?

If you're going to go out, do it in style.



Take a bow Danny Buderus for that defensive effort.

The main problem I have for the missed tackle stats is they don't seem to take account of players getting through the line without a defender anywhere near them. That scrum try was a similar issue. The try was scored because of nice work by Sts, compounded by poor reads from the Leeds backline. OPTA (I assume) count it at most as one missed tackle by one player - the reality is you could almost add a missed tackle each against all the defenders involved.

They also appear to credit the miss to Hall as the last man out wide - which makes no sense as there was a 2 on 1 by then

He went for Shenton and missed him, ergo missed tackle.



Stats tell you a few things, but you should always read them in light of having actually seen what went on as they're never the whole story, especially over 1 match.



Tackle counts are a pretty good indicator of work rate though.

19 tackles is more than any Leeds prop barring Peacock. How many do you think a prop should make in the 40-50 minutes they're on the pitch?

I think Puletua's metres per carry was higher than either Peacock's or Graham's; Kirke's too.
