And even more harder when trying to encourage people to do that sort of thing they are not being paid. I also think it depends on the club management and the clubs have to start realising the importance of keeping good data. I was begining to do this sort of thing for Medics RFU Club but had to leave for overseas for studies. I hope to continue where I left off. If you need a full time statisticican who will work for POM RFU for FREE!! contact me anytime.

I personally would like to see the club managers getting more involved at that level and we will be looking at pushing that this year in POMRFU. In terms of injuries, we pay St. Johns Ambulance to take care of our first aid and in doing so thet report to is monthly on the types of injuries we get. Our game is growing each year and with the inclusion of a female competition this year, we are running over 533 games this season, with over 3,000 people visting Bava Park a weekend. So statistics are very useful in imrpoving the sport both on and off the field. Each year also each club is required to hand in a sheet with data on the club, but clubs have been a bit lazy with that and this needs to improve. Like all our sports we do not get paid to do what we do so manpower is one of the issues we have to face when trying to cover all our bases in improving our sport. But I think we will see improvements in this in the next 2 years, especially for rugby which I am involved.
