England v Tonga game stats from NRL.com


Recommended Posts


The game stats are also on Fox.com.au

The problem is that the stats differ wildly between the two sites.

As an example, Harry Smith is listed as running for 72 run metres on NRL.com and 18 metres on Fox.

I mean these are so far apart that it makes it look like they were different games.

Doing stats is a tough job. Sometimes you sacrifice accuracy for immediacy.

But that's a pretty spectacular discrepancy.

The NRL are using the same format as they consistently do in all their match reports but the Fox one seems different.

NRL are now showing full match replays of the series too.  RFL and Superleague not showing anything.

Shambolic.

I am in France and don’t use a vpn so didn’t watch live but what hit me was that the NRL were showing the tries on video, minutes after been scored.  Match stats given after the results published and now full video’s available of the series.

Sure, we can get some of that on iPlayer but that discounts fans and clicks worldwide.

Completely agree. The NRL took the promotion of the game and its dissemination via social media channels seriously; the RFL didn't. It's astonishing (but not surprising). I wonder why we find it hard to attract sponsors?
