@frugby some of us are definitely a bit cynical.....my first thought was they will claim to have accurate stats and fantasy will be a game changer....but thats as far as they'll go, claim its better...hope im wrong
Truth will lie somewhere in the middle in my view. There will be improvement but still a long way behind
@KiwiMurph Of course, it won’t be perfect at first, but how nice is it going to be to get relatively accurate injury reports, and some easily accessible baseline stats?
Opta had some nice stuff but that was an independent and even that was difficult to use.

And just piggy backing off this, if anyone wants the Ford and Super 12 logos added I can point you to my mate who does them.

Who had the fastest bronco time for the Blues and Highlanders? I'm just curious if anyone other than a halfback is ever the quickest now. I know BB has the fastest time at 4:12 from May 2020, which Roigard equalled last year. It's probably a little easier in cooler conditions than in Dec/Jan.
Blues - ?
Chiefs - Charlie Sinton 4:20
Hurricanes - Jai Tamati 4:23
Crusaders - Kyle Preston 4:13
