Tackle breaks, linebreaks, try assists, line break assists would be interesting stats.

For comparison's sake.

Justin Hodges

That's from foxsports.com.au (uses same stats as NRL.com)

Cheers Coxy.

Don't they all just use Sports Data?

It really goes to show, for a fraction of the cost, we've gotten just as good if not more value out of Reed than what Souths got out of Inglis.

Well, Inglis has had as many tackle busts and line breaks as Reed in about 5 less games. What surprised me was how good Hodges' stats were for just 14 games.

And yes, all uses $ports Data.

iirc though, a lot of hodges' tries have been setup completely by someone else and all he had to do was catch and put down.

his tackle busts is impressive though.

The difference between Jack Reed & Greg Inglis is that when Greg Inglis is playing, he is the go to man on pretty much every play. Jack Reed is one of a number of players the Broncos go to. Hodges, Yow Yeh, Thaiday, Glenn and when they're fit Teo & Gillett. Who do Souths have this year? Taylor, Inglis, Merritt....and to a lesser extent Farrell.

Not saying that Reed is better than Inglis, I think Inglis is one of the best players I've ever seen when he's fit.

 

[mrslong]

Yep every game Hodges has played has been quality. Inglis has definitely not produced quality in his first few rounds when he was injured.

 

[OXY-351]

He's played 3 more games than Hodges this year.

Just saying.

Are you saying he's in the same boat as Inglis?

 

[Kaz]

Are you saying he's in the same boat as Inglis?

Do you mean Inglis's boat.

 

[Coxy]

Are you saying he's in the same boat as Inglis?

Yes, although Hodges didn't seem to have much speed in his boat this year.

It's not the size of the it's the......oh wait

If Inglis did go to the Broncos his stats would probably be double what they are now. Other than his fitness level being way behind, his involvement in play would be triple what it is at Souths. With better passes and pin point kicking from Lockyer and Wallace being the difference to increasing his stats, something he doesn't really get many times in a game at Souths.

 

[Jeba]

I still reckon fullback is his best position.

 

[Professor47]

You'd be kidding yourselves if you think the way GI is used at Souths would be the way we would have used him. He would have been godlike here, no doubt. Look at how we use Hodgo. GI should have came here if he wanted to take his career to another level. FACT. Would have been the best career decision he would have made. Guaranteed.
However personal issues are a huge factor to - the pay packet couldn't have been THAT big of a difference... personal choice... no problems boss!

Agreed, not sure why he hasn't been given a crack there.

Too close to the pie vendors at each end of the field.
