With Penny on the field this season we have conceded an average of 0.19 points per minute, which would work out at 15 points per game.
With Penny in the stands we have conceded an average of 0.47 points per minute, or 37.3 per game.
I'm not trying to claim Penny is defensively sound, or that King is weak. Just pointing out that stats can be used/twisted to show whatever you want them to.
In case you didn't know, IMO, means "In My Opinion" which is what i put at the end of my post, how can it be said im lying about my opinion

I apologise, the quote I should have used, and was thinking of when I posted was.

The fact still remains that this season, as a team, on average we have conceded 2.5 times as many points with Penny off the pitch as we have on it. Stats can't lie can they!
And I am fully aware what IMO means, I have some of my own, but I prefer to keep them to myself.

I would also like to reiterate that saying Penny is a weak defender is my opinion and if you watch the academy games, he isn't that strong in defence there either.
Loving that you quote posts, but take the bits out where people have a pop at you, and are completely correct about you.

You clearly don't rate Penny. That is your opinion, and an opinion you have every right to hold and I will not argue with you about it.
I am saying that the statistics show that so far this season, on average, with Penny off the pitch we have conceded 2.5 times more points per game than with him on it. This is a fact, as shown by the statistics, and as you have stated yourself, "can't be denied".

I love stats.
Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

So Hicks and Gleeson are the problem(s)?
