Quote PAUL M="PAUL M"As Berrigan is regarded as a superstar who has played for Australia and SOO then I reckon most clubs would, not sure what the relevance to Whiting and Yeaman is though?'"
Ok, let me spell it out for you:
If the fact that most clubs would rather sign Yeaman over Whiting is proof of how good he is, than surely the same applies the other way around. Even though you reckon Berrigan has been 'rubbish'.
Quote PAUL M="PAUL M"You will never convince me Whiting is better than Yeaman and vice versa so regardless of what this forum is for its pointless continuing with this discussion as we both have stated our views, going over and over them won't change our opinions.'"
You see, this is why you should read things more closely. I'm not, nor have I ever been, trying to convince you that Whiting is a better centre than Yeaman. I have said that they both offer different strengths and that Whiting is in better form [iat the moment.[/i I also said on balance that an in form Yeaman would be picked ahead of Whiting.
Quote PAUL M="PAUL M"I don't like using the stats but it's always worth a look.'"
If you don't like using them, why bother? They tell us next to nowt and I much prefer to watch a game and exercise my own judgement than rely on a bunch of numbers.
Quote PAUL M="PAUL M"Looking at stats I would say Horne and Yeaman have been the better centres overall. Certainly in no way whatsoever has Whiting been 100% better than Horne. Even when Yeaman is not at his best he is still our best centre. Whiting is a utility player that can do a job in a number of positions. Hopefully he will get a new deal.'"
This whole paragraph seems somewhat redundant. May I remind you of this:
Quote PAUL M="PAUL M"its pointless continuing with this discussion as we both have stated our views, going over and over them won't change our opinions.'"
