The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[LP]

"A hit-out that reaches an intended teammate."

Doesn't have to be on the full.

Its the same as kicking. Kick it to your teammates advantage. Kick it to him directly, or into his path. A spot that is to you and your teams benefit, not to the opposition or a 50-50 contest.

So in summary, the statisticians have no idea who the ruck was tapping it to, but a team-mate got it.

The odd shaped oval ball can bounce sideways, or zig zag like a slinky on cocaine, and it's advantage.

The sweeper can do as the name says and clean the pill from a stumbling team-mate, and it's a win.

All to the great credit of the rucks, I never realised the statisticians were mind readers!

I'm sorry Kruddler, I realise you've invested a lot of time and effort in and based on the Hitout to Advantage stuff, but it's largely a stat invented by someone who has no fecking idea of ruck play or stoppages. We can rename it "The Mystery Stat" or perhaps "The Houdini", because nobody has any idea what happened!
