Thanks CoyH, is "gain" metres forward or metres covered from receiving the ball to being tackled/offloading?

Well he made the Dream Team and think he finished something like top of the comp for tackle busts, 4th for offloads and the only forward in the top 5 for metres? Certainly not a signing to be lukewarm about IMO.

In my opinion Josh Jones is the best back row forward in Super League. Outstanding player.

Jones is very attacking, breaks the tackle loads and is one of the top offloaders in SL.. What do you class as dynamic?

Is he? I've never really noticed that in his game when I've seen him but admit I've not really seen him play that often. A real grafter with great defence is what I have seen but hopefully I'll see this attacking flair next season then.

Personally I don;t think we've had enough out of our back row in the last couple of seasons. 2nd rowers should be scoring more tries and having more assists than ours have so hopefully we'll get that threat out wide again next year

We don't run the lines for second rowers to take the ball at pace and our acting half distribution is woeful at times.

It doesnt help when all our second rows are used as front rows
