General Seasons Stats For 2012

[Miket12]

As grime reading as this may be, here are the seasons stats for the squad members who played more than 10 games last season for the Warriors. These stats have been sourced from the Dreamteam Stats from nrl.com.

Unfortunately, the DreamTeam stats don't include things like the number of hit ups a player has done.

To make this easier to follow, I've divided the stats into Points Stats, Kicking Stats, Attacking Stats, Tackling Stats, and Errors & Penalities Conceded.

[Kendrick]

Lol pretty crack up about Hurrell in the kicking stats, I actually remember twice last year he ended up with the ball on the last tackle when the team had no fucking idea and he got us line dropouts from a fair way out each time.

The stats I have from nrlstats.com seem to contradict your stats but then again they may use other companies for their information. The NRL are actually the only professional sporting organisation in the world that doesnt own/run their own Statistical Analysis Department. At the moment you have 2 different outfits that have 2 different methods of gathering their data. Make it even more confusing, Channel 9 and Fox use either company so you will have a totally different stat sheet depending on which TV network you play on!?! Theres talk of the NRL just going with one company but the problem is that the other company is refusing to release all the historical information they hold. But more importantly, who cares!

Anyway, as abit of a novice stat whore, I like this thread and would like to see one started for the whole 2013 season game to game.

Anyway, as abit of a novice stat whore, I like this thread and would like to see one started for the whole 2013 season game to game.

Last year, I did start to do stats after each game, including what the opposition had done during that particular game, but it got too time consuming and after receiving critism for calculating stats that combined the raw data forn the stats sites which indicated how many metres players made per hit up, strike rate for tries scored or what a players successful tackle rate was (amongst others), I couldn't be bothered.

I also did a running season summary for the best/worst stats (ie those with the least missed tackles vs those with the greatest) - but I was accused of being biased against certain players by including their negative stats, so again, I gave up.

EDIT: BTW, you'd probably enjoy speaking to my brother-in-law whose an ex-pat kiwi who is an Associate Professor in Statistics at an eastern university in the States. He contracts himself out to a number of sports stats companies, media and clubs including NFL and NBA teams to help them with their stats computer programming and stats analysis.

The number of different stats compiled by different outfits show stats should be a guide only, the thing to de code for coaches is what weight to put on them. I mean what's next, average speed running onto ground before he or handshakes after.

Errors is difficult as well. You can look at the huge number of errors Manu made last season to the few made by Friend. Manu received the ball far fewer times than the receives stats show that Friend did during a game. But, most of Friend's receives were when playing at dummy half and not when say taking a high ball or returning the ball into the contact area at speed like Manu did. This is not excusing Manu's handling, it's just pointing out the limitations of stats.

Though I agree that stats has its limitations, I believe that those limitations are far exceeded by there potential. What I like about stats is that they dont lie. I like that about numbers in general. I admit that stats can be skewed to suit any side of an argument but when used incorrectly, they will always be found out.

Thru the grapevine, I've heard there is possibly going to be a large shake up this year with one of the companies involved with American sports stats companies looking at providing stats for the nrl as well as Super Rugby and the next A-League season.

This is the article I read last year. Looks like the NRL are going to go ahead and put the contract out to tender...
