10% more than X when X was playing in another position doesn't make much sense.
I should ignore this, but i'll try and educate you.
The 10% has literally nothing to do with the position they play or how many ruck contests they get too. Which is why i love this stat so much.
Think about it like shots on goal. If you kick a goal 60% of the time and someone else kicks it 50% of the time. You are 10% better shot on goal than the other bloke. That doesn't say how many shots on goal either are getting, but you know the first player is a better shot on goal than the second player. Clearly, you want to get the first player more shots on goal to capitalise on this advantage.
This is what that ruck statistic is showing. Pittonet will get the ball to an opponent from a ruck contest 10% of the time MORE than TDK will. This is true for the last game and this holds true over the course of the year and career. I've posted this on no less than a dozen occasions previously.
