Even more impressive when you find out fielden has made 17 more carries and Greenshields 12 more carries.

Tom Briscoe is a freak (no offence Tom)

Still bounces the first man off almost every time.(which counts as a bust even though not a clean break) Again, not as poor as he may look.

Noticed that. Doesnt surprise me. He makes 8-10 yards per drive and plays 60-70 mins.

Suppose his 60 yard sprint for his try against Wigan helped

But using your formula i would of thought Dowes had made more metres?

Dowes and Radford are up there on the tackle stats. Think as you say Cusacks full length try will have helped but guess the real truth is that Cusack is pretty good going forward, but without doing anything too noticable most of the time.

Does the things you notice rather than the graft that some miss. Thats why i was saying all last season that Radford was a better player than Tickle, cos he did the stuff that people miss. FWIW Tickle has raised his game hugely this year on last already.
