INTERESTING STATS FROM THIS ROUND
- This game saw Dylan Edwards pass 300 running metres in a match for the fifth time since 2022.
- Ezra Mam is now on top for missed and ineffective tackles. Five eighths in general miss the second most tackles, behind hookers. The onfield position for clarification.
- Tom Trbojevic is top for errors made in 2024. Fullbacks top the NRL for most mistakes on average per game – 1.3. For the record props make the fewest errors per game at 0.2.
- Cronulla’s Royce Hunt leads the way for Post Contact Metres as a % of All Run Metres at 61%.
- 80% of Keaon Koloamatangi’s runs featured a tackle break. Pity South Sydney sucked on Friday v Roosters.
- Currently every fifth run for Izack Tago ends in a line break.
- Valentine Holmes almost ended up with a Full House (no, not that one) of attacking stats in the Cowboys win over the Dragons (no, not that one) of attacking stats. Topping Run Metres, Post Contact Metres, Tackle Breaks and Line Breaks. Sadly he fell short with “only” 1 Line Break Assist and 1 Try Assist.
