I've watched a bit of him in the under 20s, watched him in the international u20s.

I would be surprised if he doesn't play for Australia. Kid has the goods and a good head on his shoulders.

Will not be a fizzer like Brooks or A-Rey.

You heard it here first: Nathan Cleary will be leading Australia around the park in a few years time.

Disappointing game from Parcell.  Currently ranked 1680.

SI wrote:Scored the Tigers/Rabbits game. I did my count and then went and compared mine with Fantasy, NRLStats, VSDT, Ultimate League, and Ninemsn.

There were 6 clear tackle breaks in my count:

04:33 Surgess
15:07 Surgess
16:54 Surgess
25:40 Inglis
55:43 AReyn
71:52 Talakai

I had a debatable 7th TB at 16:54 with Carter potentially laying a hand on him as well with Surgess
NRL Stats has 7, the rest have 6 bar Fantasy who has 4.

My count was:

151 metres (5 or 10 less then most)
4 tackles (1 more then all)
3 missed tackles (1 or 2 more then all bar Fantasy who had 3 as well)
2 offloads (1 more then all)
6 tackle breaks (as above)
1 try assist (most had this)
1 line break assist (VSDT and Ultimate also had this)
3 kicks defused (1 less then Fantasy)
10 kick metres (average)
0 penalties (he had 1 on all sites, I clearly missed it   )
0 errors (all sites)

All but Fantasy have at least 6 TB's
All but Fantasy and NRLStats have the Try Assist
All but Fantasy NRLStats and Ninemsn have the Line Break Assist

I score him at 45 with the Fantasy sytem.  VSDT had 47.  Ultimate 44.  Fantasy 28.  I do understand they are different scoring systems which is why I added the actual detail of the plays as above.

The TB's aren't subjective, they are there.  The LBA seemed a sure thing; but they will always argue a Try Assist subjectively.  In my mind Ted took an extra step then he needed to to draw his man before passing to Naiquama and got absolutely SMASHED in doing so-worthy of a try assist I reckon, but again, can be argued.

Either way I do find it a little strange that Fantasy scored Ted harder then all the other stats I checked when Fantasy in general normally goes the other way; especially when it comes to TB's and TA's, and even more especially with the update king that is Teddy.

Anyone got the SuperCoach stats?

Peace out, Detective Softcock Holmes.

Yeah, the kick before a try gets it 99% of the time, but passes is not every time maybe 80 or 90%.  That's the issue with the subjectivity allthough they are alot better at it then when they first introduced it, was a lottery back then.

Simona would be the best current NRL center.. centre... center... Whatever... I was clearly wrong about Simona... He simple is the best NRL centre ever.

They seem to have suddenly changed the ruling for TAs. Parcell had one taken away from him, and Smith missed one that was identical to TAs he's been given earlier in the season.

So it seems consistent within the week, but it's a bit off that it's not consistent within the season, particularly when it enters the consideration of players who've made trades based on how the games have previously been scored.

Maybe for next season they should simplify it and make TAs last.pass and take the subjectivity out of it.
