Thought this might be an interesting exercise given how many TKers think Hetho is our future in the front row.
| Minutes played | Runs | Run metres | Post contact mtrs | Run mtrs/minute | Run mtrs/run | Tackle breaks | Tackles | Tackles/minute | Missed tackles |
| Hetho | 69 | 16 | 121 | 40 | 1.75 | 7.56 | 1 | 21 | 0.30 | 4 |
| TPG | 34 | 11 | 126 | 48 | 3.71 | 11.45 | 5 | 13 | 0.38 | 1 |
| Tolman | 46 | 12 | 116 | 30 | 2.52 | 9.66 | 1 | 30 | 0.65 | 0 |
Also 1 line break and 1 try for TPG, and 1 line break for Tolman, nothing for Hetho. 2 offloads for Tolman, 1 for Hetho, 1 for TPG. No pens or 6 agains for TPG and Tolman, 1 and 2 for Hetho.
Hetho is not a starting prop. Today I notice a lot of people putting him in their 3-2-1 for the game against Manly. His average metres today was worse than Tolman's last season, and he couldn't even manage half the tackle count Tolman would at least contribute. No argument Tolman couldn't stay, he was on too much, but Hetho is not the answer as starting prop, and unless he can come off the bench and produce the same performance he did today in 35-40 minutes he isn't even a decent benchie. He LOOKS aggressive, but looks aren't everything, his numbers are worse than Tolman, and way worse than TPG.
I asked a few other people who watched the game today how many minutes they thought Hetho played. The range they guessed was between 50 and 56. He went missing during parts of the game today, and he frequently does. For all the excitement in the few moments in the 2nd half where he ran a bit wider at some smaller defenders, he didn't make a single line break, and only 1 tackle break, and even given that chance and some room to run onto the ball and into the defense he couldn't get his average metres per run above 8m, which is surely the minimum required.
If Hetho keeps getting selected to start and plays as many minutes as guys like Thommo, TPG, and Vaughn next season, and doesn't up his game, it will be the beginning of the end for TBaz.
