Bit concerned that the thread GML was very quick off the mark to post hasn't been bumped since Round 1, despite the rather savage mockery of the lovely Ewan and specifically his tacklebusting in 2010 (whilst recognising his hit ratio was better than virtually all Rovers props). Halfway through the 2011 season seems about right to re-cap, and it seems that a theme is developing. How can this be?
Tackle busts per appearance: Dowes 7 from 9 = 0.78 Lovegrove 6 from 8 = 0.75 Clinton (HPFABB) 7 from 10 = 0.70 Wheeldon 4 from 7 = 0.57 Vella 5 from 9 = 0.56 Watts 4 from 11 = 0.36
Obviously Dowes has peaked too early and will be overtaken and left trailing in the wake of these Titans shortly, but well done Ewan on a satisfactory start to the year. By way of context, our left hand side of Manu (part of the much ridiculed Tongan Mafia), Yeaman (flat track bully) and Briscoe (lacking athleticism to make it in the back line, apparently) have mustered 126 tackle busts between them. It's a funny old world.

Very interesting stats....I think it is rather rude of GML to dedicate a thread to you and then ignore it when it bites him on the butt, you would think he would be use to the females from the FC board proving him wrong by now though

Having 2 jobs takes up a fair chunk of your time mate, you want to try getting 1 Dowes didnt play in Rounds 2-4 so by the time he got picked again i couldnt be arsed with it anymore. New contract for Ewan and Agar it is then and we are all happy.

Thing being is that was one prediction of many i have made since joining this forum 5 years ago. Crusaders over acheived last season, fair play to them. Some you get right some you dont. This is your prediction for the 2011 SL table after Round 27. Some you will get right some you wont.
