Sorry, but you are so wrong on that point, Micheals makes more tackles than any of our backline per match, he also makes far far fewer errors than Talanoa, Talanoa has made 12 errors to Micheals 3, their metres per carry are almost identical. I'd rather have Micheals in, he's hardly done much wrong, not saying spectacular but then again aside from Mini & some fashes of individual brillaince who has. Other than to give Yeaman a run out I can't see Radford taking him out.

I appreciate you don't get to see many games so you have to use stats instead of your eyes for your comparison.
But if you want to use stats for this argument you have to use the full picture not just the ones to suit your argument.
Talanoa makes more tackle busts, scores more try's, more metres (including average gain), more clean breaks, more offloads and more carries. Talanoa is a more aggressive defender and attacker, that's not a stat that's from actually watching him.
Really disappointed in Talanoa and his errors in the Rovers and Cas game, but in the centre I'd rather have him than Micheals.
