Lol dude it's impossible to decrease by more than 100% ??

I realise it's not the easiest way to present them but they're not my stats, if I can get a hold of the raw statistics I'll re-do the formula but I don't have them on hand.

It's not impossible, people just like to present statistics different ways.

It's wrong though. 100% is the whole number. 100% of 10 is 10... 10 - 150% = -5. etc

Since SKD has been injured the number has dropped right off. Both Moga and Henry don't take a lot of dummy half runs.. With the guys we have in our forward pack, we needn't have backs take too many hitups.. I would love to see some backline moves with some depth in our attack though.. It pains me to see our Centres not get any ball in space and the ability to hit the line at pace.

Which suggests the game plan suits the players strengths rather than the other way round. Hence Oldfield wont have to adapt to anything which has always been my stance, people get carried away with the dummy half crap when in fact it suited our team because SKD & Perrett can be great metre eaters coming out of our own end.

It is impossible to decrease dummy half runs by more than 100%.. period.. the easiest way to present the formula is (new-old)/old.

[Rooster_6]

Wasn't my formula should be;

((new-old)-1)*100 if I remember correctly.

trust me, take my formula.. I do this stuff for a living. justjuice's point above is spot on.. to have > 100% you would require negative dummy half runs.

Here I was thinking this was pure common sense But someone has a formuila saying otherwise The mind truly boggles

[Headless Chook]

The way Oldfield just dropped an absolute sitter of a pass by looking at the defence, and which Melbourne capitalised upon to score the first try, he will do well here!

John will be barring up

John would bar up at a one legged, blind female mexican with leprosy. But only if it didnt have a heartbeat!

[Chook Norris]

Well i definitely know there was one single person on here who's been pushing for his signing for the past 12-18 months

so i hope your happy

don't see the big deal though

[Yak]

After seeing him in reserve grade a fair bit it's pretty obvious he's simply tall, fast and finishes well, and that's about all the strings he has to his bow. That suits playing for manly perfectly but i doubt it will be enough for the Roosters. He can make an absolute clanger too. Less urgency cleaning up kicks than moga and capable of worse brain explosions than SKD. There just isn't many quality wingers in the comp. Probably why they are wingers. Here's hoping our young forward pack can start to develop decent engines and we can rely less on wingers running from dummy half, and start to dominate field position often so that he is only really called upon to finish backline movements.

I don't really know about this signing, but will give him a go if he's wearing RWB! Welcome Michael!

luv the tubular bells bit arty.what a hit album!

[Guest]

Does anybody remember how he very nearly let us back into the game vs Manly last year on half time by not picking up a kick, only to have SKD butcher the chance? He will fit in nicely.
