I'm with you guys. Unless Sezer picks up his reserve grade form in a major way, I'd rather see Hingano get a run before bringing Sezer back in. From all reports, Sezer isn't making the effort required to force his way back in to the team.

It's no secret that I don't rate Williams as a first grade half. I've said many times in the past that he's a back up half and should only be playing when we've got injuries. Pretty sure Ricky Stuart would be of a similar view. It's a massive let down that our first choice half can't perform consistently better than our back up who is a guy clearly not cut out for first grade week in, week out.

It frustrates me to see Williams play each week but I'm not sure I'd be any less frustrated with Sezer there instead, and I definitely don't think we should be rewarding somebody who was relegated to Mounties for nothing.

Has Hingano even been named in a squad of 21 this season?

Whats wrong with his reserve grade form? Genuine question as I haven't seen any of the games and only have the highlights to go from.

Basically all sammy needs to do to keep his spot in first grade is continue to not do anything while having poor to no defence. Sammy is allowed to do nothing on the field because thats the role hes been given, halves arent there to defend and hes a good guy. Sezer lost to melbourne all on his own and isnt a top one or 2 half in the comp

Surely Hingano and Sezers management look elsewhere when they have signed the New lord and saviour G Williams? Wouldn’t expect those guys to hang around and play reggies. What would happen then?

Makes about as much sense as a topic about how Croker can't kick.

Yeah, Sammy is a **** defender. I just checked the NRL stats. He has a tackle efficiency of 80.6% over nine games.

Sezer's two games have produced 82.5%.

Jarrod Croker is at 82.4%. Wighton is at 84.6%. Anyone want to say either of them should be dropped?

Interestingly only a couple more try causes than Croker, who many are saying is now a great defender. Croker has played 2 extra games.

The 2 errors and no kick errors on that list is the reason I think he is holding his spot. Sezer had 20 in 18 games last season.

Posted: **May 20, 2019, 8:36 am**

As was mentioned before you have to look at the stats relative to position.

Id agree on error rate being a plus for Sammy, it's very low for a half.

I don't actually know what Kick errors measures, since it doesn't include kicking the ball dead and is way too high for just out on the full. I think maybe it's kicking into an opponent and out on the full, since Hodgo is very high

Obviously, but Williams isn't the only half in that list so it's not as if he is a complete anomaly. Milford, Morgan and Hunt are all up there with him. Pretty much the same amount of halves in the top 20 as centres so if you are going to use those stats to highlight Williams then you also have to highlight Croker is one of the weaker defenders in his position.

Posted: **May 20, 2019, 10:25 am**

Yeah, kick errors is obviously a stupid stat if Williams has none! He's DEFINITELY given away a few 7-tackle sets this season, including a critical one against Souths that went a long way towards them winning the game.

Agree they are a pretty useless stat if not including 7 tackle sets. Must pretty much only be out/dead on the full in that case.

Yeah he may have kicked 3 out on the full in the first 4 rounds or so but none lately. Perhaps you're right, a kick that gets charged down/blocked off the legs goes as an error? That would be fair enough as an error and Hodgo has a lot of those.

An effective kicking game is very difficult to quantify statistically. Their no real way to measure the nuances between a good kick and a bad one. A 20m grubber kick into touch 10m from the oppostion goal line late in a game is fantastic if its a 5th tackle when you're up by 8 points. If its the 3rd tackle and you're down by 8 its an appalling play. Statistically its almost identical.

Similarly, people are crediting williams for a bomb that no chasers could get to that the south winger just dropped cold. Its a lucky outcome for a really average kick
