NRL Stats

[Teets]

6 of last years top 8 had youth (inexperience), seems like an asset… but then there was the Tigers

Can our old men defy the odds!

There was an article sometime last year that crunched the numbers on GF winning 17s.

Can't remember exactly but they reckon winning NRL teams tend to skew a bit younger with a bunch of players in a similar kind of age bracket 22-26ish who've played a heap together coming up.

In another thread i noted that after the first round the Warriors sat 15th lowest in PCM to total run metre ratios. They improved in Round 2 to 11th & ranked 12th in Round 3 with 33.6%. Despite their loss, the Raiders were the top team in the competition last round with 40.9% of all their metres coming post contact. That worked out to be 3.3m PCMs per carry.
Parra, Canterbury, Newcastle & North Queensland also grabbed wins despite being lower on the ledger than their opposition so there's no real correlation to be found but it's something I think I'll keep track of

Interesting! It is a small sample size, of course, but would be an interesting one for Fonzie to digest on the next TWL pod he is on.

Yep and note that nrl fantasy uses nrl.com stats whilst supercoach uses foxsports stats as does this site for postmatch/gameday threads.

For those that live and die by stats, Chad Townsend had the 2nd most try assists in the comp yet noone would want him at their club.

Roosters do.

He's been killing it this year, happy for him.

Hasn’t been much to brag about this year but we still have a few guys in top 5s statistically.

Afb 2nd for run meters and a clear first for post contact.



Barney coming in 4th.

Jackson ford hasn’t got the wraps he did last year but he’s still been working hard- second for most tackles.


And second for decoys- Barney with another mention one spot behind him.


Unfortunately he’s still got a few too many of these in him…


Egans a bit out of favor but still 2nd for dummy half runs.


And somehow Sj still featuring in the kicking stats.

Really hit hard with injuries this year. This is the games missed due to injury.

 

[Aman 2.0]

I guess this is a stat.

When was the last time we’ve one suspension in FG for a player after 21 rounds???

Dallins the only one who’s copped a suspension this year right?

Absolutely unheard of.

I found this stat page very interesting. The peak age for an NRL player is 26, even for props and performance tapers off after then.

This is a few years old now and with the game speeding up it’s probably even more relevant.

Needs to be factored into recruitment as our 24 team displayed this drop off perfectly. Of note, centre is the position where output drops off earliest and by RTS age it doesn’t work…

Now that the State of Origin distraction is over, we’re reaching a point in the NRL season where finals hopes are well and truly dashed for some teams, and they turn their attention full time to next season and player recruitment or retention. As usual in the NRL media cycle, there’s been plenty...
