Over a few years now RFC has valued players not on sheer numbers ie disposals etc , but on other not as easilly measurable parts of the game , I think this shift was crucial in us winning all those flags.
I remember a day playing Collingwood where they smashed us in disposals marks etc etc we won by almost 40 points if my memory serves me well
In fact we used take great delight in the phenomena and laugh our heads off at opposition supporters saying no lamenting we dominated disposals , handballs , marks etc yet we lost
The stats say it all.hard to be a part of a debate where everyone including me is congratulating him on a good game at a level he should be at everyweek given his age and experience.But when that drops away to a much lower level and people complain about his games which at times are very ordinary its down to his role a lot of two bob each way with some.
A simple question what would people and in the particular the club want most games like saturdays or the indifferent form we get most weeks.
Its funny without being in the inner sanctum people are always talking about player roles every time a player has a bad game its his role there is never a poor game.
I think the club have got supporters suckered into this kind of thinking.
