[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 673180, member: 24910"] Stop using stats to back up your arguments. You will put me out of a job ;) One of the interesting things the stats show us is just how much Nonu has kicked the ball this season. Despite playing significantly less minutes than the likes of Crotty and Fekitoa he has kicked the 2-3 times more. Sure 1 or 2 of his kicks paid off, but the vast majority were just wasted possession because (a) he isn't a natural kicker and (b) isn't great at judging when to kick and when to pass. For some reason Nonu seems to think he is some sort of creative player these days. Personally I would prefer it if he focused on doing what he used to do best - run the ball hard at the line and break tackles with his power (and deceptive footwork for such a big man). [/QUOTE]
