least uate has an excuse coming back from an injury
Those stats are particularly bad though. The modern winger should be one of the main ball carriers, and there are plenty of free yards to be had from kick returns and from scooting off the back of quick play the balls. In fact when I saw that I went and had a look at all of the wingers stats from Friday. Carries in brackets.
Faraimo: 131 (16)
Naulago: 63 (10)
Briscoe: 71 (9)
Handley: 79 (10)
Makinson: 119 (15)
Grace: 106 (15)
Kear: 89 (14)
Williams: 90 (16)
Escare: 73 (9) - Started on bench
Mcgillvary: 206 (22)
Uate: 31 (9)
I haven't included Marshall or Manfredi since they went off injured in the first half.
So he had the joint lowest number of carries and his yards per carry were pretty much half (or less) what everyone else managed. That is really poor for a player of his reputation.
Anyway, it's nothing to do with me really, I was just really surprised by how poor those numbers were, I wouldn't be impressed if I was a Huddersfield fan.
Congrats on the win, hope you can start to claw your way out of the danger zone now. We look a completely different animal after breaking our losing run and gaining a bit of confidence. Hope you can do the same.
