28. Kieran Shannon, Sunday Tribune, October 2007
"The value of stats here is that it reduces the extent to which a player is prejudiced by a coach. Stats might show that the player who is a 'bottler‘ is actually, say, the best tackler in the team, while the team's hero, who is afforded the privilege of the halo effect, is actually contributing very little beyond, say, scoring from frees.“
