2016 Pre-Season Stats Blog

As promised, here is the pre-season stats blog that will outline all the stats and milestones that the club and its players are set to achieve over the course of the 2016 season. 

It'll have all the need-to-know pre-season stats/milestones compiled in one handy blog.

Here are all the stats relevant to the Eels for 2016: 

1. If he plays 23 games this season, Michael Gordon will reach 200 career games. 

2. Kieran Foran needs just 3 games to reach 150 career games.

3. Brad Takairangi needs 14 games to reach 100 career games.

4. Danny Wicks needs 15 games to reach 100 career games. 

5. Nathan Peats needs 16 games to reach 100 career games.

6. Early milestone for Semi Radradra - he'll play his 50th NRL game in Rd 1. 

7. If he plays in 4 NRL games this year, Luke Kelly will have played in 50 NRL games.

8. Just eight games for Junior Paulo, and he will also bring up the 50 NRL game mark.

9. 15 games required for Manu Ma'u and he will also reach 50 NRL games.

10. 17 games for Pauli Pauli and he'll also celebrate 50 games in the NRL.

Should Corey Norman (4), David Gower (7), Luke Kelly (10), Issac De Gois (21) & Nathan Peats (21) play the respective number of games in brackets this year, they will have played in 50 NRL games for the Eels. 

Just 2 tries for Semi 'the Fijian Flyer' Radradra and he'll hit 50 career NRL tries. 

Semi can also break some club try-scoring records - if he scores 13 tries, he will pass Nathan Hindmarsh and become the Eels 9th highest try-scorer & with 18 tries, he will pass Eric Grothe Jnr & become the Eels eighth highest try-scorer. 

Ahead of each game during the 2016 season, I'll provide a comprehensive stats analysis of the week before where applicable and again make mention of upcoming milestones, as well as highlighting broken records from the week before also. 
That'll include individual stats, team stats and how we stack up against other teams across the week and season as the games go by. 

If you think there's any stat that I may have missed here or any stat you want to see in future, let me know and it can be added in easily. 

Enjoy the stats and bring on the season!

  • Nice work Ricky. I'm sure that TCT will make use of such stats too.
    • Cheers, Sixties. 

      All & any stats that you & the guys feel are relevant, use them on TCT. No issues there. 

  • Nice one Ricky but imo milestones are pretty irrelevant, only speaking for myself im not really interested in how many games players have played or when they are about to reach a milestone its just a bit boring rick, you can do a lot better imo, i want to see some real stats mate, anybody can dig out milestones.

    Im not sure id even call milestones stats.

    Using stats to check out a few things like this,

    Some trends that may not have been picked up through stats would be good

    What our pack is doing compared to others

    Work rates of our pack

    mistakes, penalties etc compared to the rest of the comp

    Support play

    Stats on performance in segments of the game.

    Season comparisons

    defence stats

    the list goes on, there a million things but please anything but milestones

    cheers

    • Compared to game stats, Snake, I agree somewhat. 

      But given it is the pre-season and that there's very little to look back on in terms of stats, this is probably the best way to lay the foundation for it all and just introduce what the stats will largely be about and what they'd include. 

      Obviously pre & post game once the season itself begins, then the stats will look more like what you describe. The actual game stats themselves. 

      Of the list you mention, Snake, support play is probably impossible to collate, given it's largely observational based and to my knowledge, it isn't collated anywhere else. 

      But everything else is doable. 
      If you want to send me specifics of what you're after, I can make sure it's all included. Might be long and tedious, but it'll help to make the stats as accurate as possible. 

  • Those stats of game milestones show that we still have a very inexperienced side. Many under 50 and 100 games. The say that 50 games is the milestone which thereafter a player knows how to prepare and perform consistently. We can expect continual improvement over the coming years as our younger players game wise become experienced and take over from Gordon, Choc, Scott once they move on.
    • We do to some extent, King, but I think the fact that most of our players are around that 50 game mark or close to it, means that once our older, veteran players retire or move on, we have younger players that are experienced to fill the voids left by them. 

      Which is, I think, the perfect, overall balance a team needs. 

  • Cheers for that Ricky. I'm really looking forward to reading your blogs this season.
    • No worries, JM. 

      Hopefully they can provide some good discussion across the season next year. 

  • Awesome mate, im very keen for your blogs rick, cant wait, i think it will add lots to the site, cheers

    • Glad that there's a good handful of people that will enjoy it.
