Results

I have managed to arse up the whole data set for the Nations Championship, luckily I have months to unbuckle it.

The Tombola will return in the Autumn for another 3 rounds.

For logo reasons. The ladies kit is better than the men’s. That aside. I quite like it.

UPDATED SCORES

Thanks to the eagle and honest eye of u/DrLaughter I’ve corrected a cock up in the scores for replacements. It does change a few results and we have a new top 3

It’s OK to say ‘It’s not OK'

I’ve nerded the Warriors Season and broken it down into numbers - now that it is over.

Appearances

As Franco reminded us post Vodacom Bulls match.  Glasgow started the season with only 38 professional players.  There were 9 debutants over the season - Dan Lancaster and Alex Craig being the only 2 professionals. Leaving us with 7 Academy players getting game time; a few of whom signed their professional contract after their debuts.

Let’s not forget Charlie Savala and Tavi Tuipulotu who spent their entire inaugural season on the injury bench.

An average of 12.375 appearances for the 48 players who took to the field.

Minutes Played

With only 48 players taking to the field the average game time is 647.73 minutes (8.10 games). Our top 5 players did some heavy lifting with over double the average game time. 22 players played greater than the team average.  

6 players only featured once; Grant Stewart and Matthew Urwin for 4 minutes each, and Meatball for his swan song line break.

edit: Minutes played only include club minutes and do not include time off the pitch for a yellow card or hair ruffling.

Percentage time on Field

9 players averaged 70 minutes or over per game they played in; that is if you include Duncan Munn’s 100% game time from the 1 game he played. In total 37 players managed over 40 mins average per appearance (9 over 87.5% (70 minutes) per appearance).

Again, the outliers are Grant Stewart and Matthew Urwin with a 5% average per match (1).

Percentage Time on Field

The Go-to men - the players only ever picked as a starter.

This is the shit or bust section, they only play if their jersey number is <16.

With Franco’s preference for a 6/2 bench, it is no surprise that Backs fill the top 3 slots; the same 3 players who spent the highest percentage time on field. Closely followed by Jack Dempsey - who is used as a wrecking ball while he is on the field.

At the bottom end we have 5 players who started the season as Academy prospects (Yule 4, Watson 2, Munn 1, Johnston 1, and Ventisei 1)

Fin Richardson (7) and Hugh Jones (6) round off the list.

Bring Players back for Central Contracts! I don’t see them getting sufficient game time in the Celtic Challenge League. Or if I am wrong does it mean that Glasgow and Edinburgh ladies will step up and be more competitive in that league? Still not PWR level
