Re: Kicking stats for the season
Thanks for posting. Shortly, however, I expect to see those who decided even before he arrived that GF is ‘flaky’ posting about how statistics prove nothing. Post-truth punditry is alive and well!
Re: Kicking stats for the season
Maybe Ford should start kicking for England with better stats than Farrell.

Never take much notice of kicking stats,I prefer to see where they were taken from

Re: Kicking stats for the season
To enhance my point I think I heard LHP is just over the 70% mark,are these guys better than him? No. It's just that he kicks from anywhere and everywhere.

Owen Williams last gasp penalty from within his own half when we beat Munster 18-16 in 2016 demonstrates far more 'bottle' than another 3-pointer taken from the same spot when you're 30 points up in a lesser competition.
Happy days clearing straw from the pitch before the Baa-Baas games! KBO

Re: Kicking stats for the season
Ahhh, the days when we could take penalties within our own half! All sides should find space for a 55m+ kicker.strawclearer wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 10:48 pm...and when.Hot_Charlie wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 8:21 pmYep, agreed.Rugbyflanker wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 6:22 pm Never take much notice of kicking stats,I prefer to see where they were taken from

Re: Kicking stats for the season
Whilst 55 m penalties are spectacular to watch they still only count for the same number of points as one taken from in front of the posts.
Looking into the golden boot award https://www.premiershiprugby.com/statis ... lden-boot/
George Ford has actually kicked more penalties then anyone else in the premiership, suggesting he is not turning down that many opportunities to kick.

I thought LHP stood for loose head prop. Then I remembered Logo came on as THP
Re: Kicking stats for the season
Farrell is only ahead of Ford as he’s scored more tries and Saracens have thumped Northampton twice this season whereas we on the other hand....

Re: Kicking stats for the season
Yes I remember Owen Williams performances at Tigers very well, shame he went to Glous. on about £400k. played for Wales 2/3 times and then vanished from the Welsh squad and unbelievably from the Glous. team for tonights final. He must have fallen out bigtime with them. Still in contract there but I feel sure a return to the "green green grass of home" beckons.strawclearer wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 10:48 pm...and when.Hot_Charlie wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 8:21 pmYep, agreed.Rugbyflanker wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 6:22 pm Never take much notice of kicking stats,I prefer to see where they were taken from

Yes I would welcome him back at Tigers as 2nd 10/ centre in place of J Ford but not at that salary.
