Thanks for that. I was thinking about doing the kicking percentage stats myself next year using the Extra Time grid every week, but it may not be necessary with your stuff.
Think you should still do it. You'd be surprised who can't add. I've seen TV put up stats for players that weren't on the field and we are talking the official ones as well. They get the Ebersohn twins wrong, someone missed in front of the sticks and get credited with the kick. It's pretty funny. What I also do is have a probability of success which acts as a difficulty rating. That keeps some of the moaners quite when they are looking at the person, not the stats...
So I've learnt to watch every game, regardless (trying coding 5 games back to back with no breaks like in round 17 as the SA games were earlier) cross reference with at least two if not three different sources and have youtube as a back-up. Sometimes you need to have people watch that to see that the person taking the kicks was Delany, not Leonard, who is bald as a cue ball for example. However if it is on TV people think it must be right. That will be your biggest hurdle!!!!!!!
Also helps if you can tweet the players. In the weekend the Fox Sport coverage on the 4th Brumbies conversion didn't really show the kick and Christian took the 3rd. Some results had Giteau taking the 4th (as it went over) and others that Christian took it. So I tweeted Giteau and he confirmed what happened.
Never seen Extra Time Grid, can you send me a link?
