But what is your view based on what you see?RedRaider wrote: ↑June 8, 2019, 2:29 pmEd, I see on here often Sam Williams being bagged so I like to go to the objective facts to determine what is opinion and what is really justified. I have provided the facts in my prior post so I'll stick with that.
I've read your post where you say Aiden Sezer is the best defensive half in the comp. I take it that is based on the subjective stats which rely on opinion. At the last Federal Election I think we saw the unreliability of variable opinion based stats - just like Gus and his opinion about Nic Cotric in the last SOO match.
It doesn't bother me that others have different opinions to me. I just like to be objective and use stats which are a verifiable measure.
The problem i have with your use of tackles and missed tackles is the same objective stat shows that Blake Austin is the best defensive player of the three. It is not a measure on which to judge defensive performance, it is only an indicator of work rate unless the numbers are a total outlier.
I based my opinion regarding Sezer on my subjective view and this is supported by the fact that there has not been a single try scored against us where he has had any contribution to it. You would have to agree that is also an objective fact.
As for try cause stats, these are not perfect but these statistics produced by multiple observers, with no club bias, all using the same stats guides. The fact they are anonymous is totally meaningless. It also consistently fits the eye test as we saw with Blake Austin who ended up having to leave the NRL his defense was so poor.
