As I said we must agree to differ - it would interesting to see how much ball Watkins receives in the opponents 30 compared to Moon and who then makes the best use of the ball. Watkins may have had more ball but it is the quality of the ball that makes the difference something the stats cannot reveal or have not as yet revealed?
Also Moon has Hall outside him that is a huge factor in his assist numbers - Watkins doesn't have that luxury.
But you made out that Moon had more ball and therefore more chances. Do you now accept that this was incorrect?
So now you move the argument to quality of ball with an assumption that Watkins has received less quality ball than Moon. Well you cannot prove this assumption either. I recall Moon making some amazing try assists out of nothing with hand and foot. With the poor form of our halves I would suggest neither centre has had really consistent good ball.
Early season Watkins had the luxury of an in form Briscoe while Hall was in rather bad form. Since then the wingers form has switched. However there is a good understand between Moon and Hall a credit to both players whereas Watkins and Briscoe have not gelled yet - too many balls passed into touch etc which has to be the responsibility of both players.
