Well it shouldn’t be, Morley is right the coach needs to form an opinion on the game and the performance of players.

Not sure that's what I was saying, Chariots.

I'm a great believer in stats (as is every professional coach). What goes wrong is when they're misinterpreted - and I don't mean by confusing Marker Tackles with Missed Tackles! John Monie's point illustrates this: the stat giving Offiah 1 missed tackle is correct/fact. The coach needs to interpret it correctly in the context of what a tally happened in the game.

I think that was what I was trying to say 🙂

It's worth looking at the Stats Key at the bottom of the page!

I know! I did!
