I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Fifteensquared have:

STAT (short for statistic = a piece of information) + anagram (affected) of QUEUES . Well, sort of . . . The dictionaries (Collins and Chambers at least) say “statuesque” means tall, well-proportioned and dignified. But I’ve heard the word used by football commentators to mean “standing still” like a statue.
