This means that in 2010 things like marker tackles Harrison is way ahead of Clough but also his missed tackles for the same reason. Metes made, carries and tackles - not much in it wheras Harrison has more a lot offloads and Clough a lot more tackle busts, a lower error rate and fewer pens, so IMO nothing is really proven about whose stats are best given their different roles.
In 2011 the same pattern was repeated proportionately to the reduced no of games played by Clough.
Perhaps the comparison with other players who have played in the same position might be better.
Flanno vs Harrison (Harrison by a country mile)
Wilkin vs Harrison (Wilkin shades it and worth the extra for his kicking game)
Well i beg to differ. Clough usually lined up at loose forward Which is the third prop down the middle. Same as Ben Harrison, so we are comparing like with like.
Wilkin and Flanno play on the edges in the 2nd row, one on the left one on the right
