Bok Player Ratings

PLAYER RATINGS: CHALK AND CHEESE

Why this guy ....Tauriq Ebrahim...is in the ratings business beats me. A rose tinted spectacles moron.

Brilliant, excellent, stellar, flawless...sounds like we're finally ready to beat the All Blacks

He probably is the guy you marks Matric papers in KZN, Moz
...Mike will have a heart attack with Alberts @ 8 and you and Bozo and Card will go into seizures with Pat @ 9... incidentally...these ratings are higher than the ABs giv en in previous post....we deceive ourselves

I do not agree with the ratings as mentioned - with rare exceptions the ratings are too high to really be reflective of the true contributions of players and that is not advisable. I would say that the ratings of the following players are too high:-
Kirchner (6), Mvovo (7), Lambie (8), Pienaar (6), Alberts (6), Brussow (7), Matfield (6), Etzebeth (7), Nyakane (6), Mtawarira (6).
I will just give one example to illustrate the following and that is the comment of ESPN iro Du Toit:-
 "Pieter-Steph du Toit has made a big impact as a flanker since replacing Willem Alberts."
That in itself  shows that Du Toit did better than Alberts - but the ratings provided do not show that.   
     

How was Stephanie better than Alberts? What did he do exactly?

 His carries was stronger and he went forward when tackled with no chance of possession losses - that was the difference between the two.   There were problems in ball recoveries after some Alberts carries - this happened at least twice when one turnover was made by Argentina and one penalty was conceded as well.  
Problem is you would not understand what the previous paragraph means - so I suppose telling you that would be of no value.  

Trying to Bullsite me is of no value Pervert. Alberts showed exactly what we have been missing as I told you many times fo ol. 

 Balls as per normal.  Alberts had a very normal match for him - with ineffective ball carries being the rule rather than the exception.   For the few minutes Du Toit played it was very clear that he was better than Alberts and more effective to boot.
Alberts0/000/0/81202017/11/000/0  8 carrie to gain 12 meters is standard Alberts - ie an average gain of 1,5 meters per carry.  His tackling was not all that strong either - rather something like you call process tackles.
Look at the ball possession loss and that confirm part of the statement I made above.  The penalty was against Burger who had to try and protect a hopeless ball after an Alberts carry.
Now look at Du Toit:-
du Toit0/000/0/51610003/00/000/0 5 carries for a gain of 16 meters represents 3,2 meters per average carry.  He made 3 strong tackles in the 17 minutes of the game he was on the field of play.
You published the match stats under another thread and it was different from the above.  Did you in your normal style fiddled with those when putting them on site - Dr Goebbels?      

Beat no tackles...ran through open space until he was knocked over easily by the first defender. 

 Made a line break stupid - which Alberts never did.  Do you admit that you fiddled Alberts figures Dr Goebbels?  Nobody but you would think you can do it and get away with it.  

 Beat no defenders....how were his carries stronger if he was knocked over first time, every time. As for the change in the stats, that was simply ESPN adjusting their numbers, which they do all the time after the initial match posting...get with it chump.

The Du Toit was stronger because he made more meters and had to be tackled by more than one player every time.  The one player who tried to tackle Du Toit ended up injured.   
ESPN never adjusted stats to the extent they did here and I smelled a rat on that account.  22 meters carries to adjust to 12 meters - what a joke!!!!!!  

Prove it pervert.
