I cut & paste the stats from a post I made a few weeks back elsewhere & if memory serves Holmes had 20 appearances to Ashursts 30 - which suits each player in certain stats, but like you say Bren it doesn’t take minutes into account or even what their respective coaches ask them to do.

Indeed - stats are a very blunt instrument.

But we can agree that Matty Ashurst, 2018 Dream Team Member, and Oliver Holmes, Cas player, are *quite* similar - but not *exactly* the same, yes...?

Ha ha! I was hoping to not have to address this point, but now that you’ve backed me into a corner I’ll submit that Ashursts inclusion into the Super League dream team is quite an achievement, but I doubt It crossed Oggy’s mind when he was stood in his England jersey singing the national anthem before taking on France & then PNG!

Credit where it's due - that's an excellent return of serve!

According to love Rugby League, Holmes had 27 appearances, 20 starts and 7 at sub, link below. I thought it was 20 games in total when I first used to check the site for stats but if you count the games he's played for Cas it's 27. 22 games before the S8 and 5 in the S8. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/stats/players/oliver-holmes/ You got Ashurst correct at 30 https://www.loverugbyleague.com/stats/players/matty-ashurst/ Actually just looking both played 1 CC game so it's 26 for Holmes and 29 for Ashurst SL games.

Some right drama queens on here. Ifs, buts and maybes around Brough's attitude. But one thing is for certain: he'll singlehandedly win us rugby matches with his boot.

Say that again.

Think Brough is a cracking signing looks like Hampshire will be at FB then. Brough behind our pack will be fantastic, still one of the best half backs in SL for me.

quoting you this as you like to always prove you was right, yes he's been a revelation for us hasn't he

You were begging pop tart to ban him like a 12 year old girl at net ball practice

He was just a passionate n loyal fan that wanted some where to air his opinion

Leave it alone you’re continuing obsession with NGB4C is embarrassing
