    Thought Pearce's would be higher than that, I swear he dummies and cuts back inside all the time and it never works.

    Fair enough but I meant the stats you provided are off. And I don't think I've ever heard someone wrap Pearce about his ball running ability, he's a decent support player but he lacks balance when he runs the ball often trips over his own feet.

    Pearce 22 games;
    22 Try Assists
    20 Linebreak assists
    8 Linebreaks

    Walsh 21 games;
    13 Try Assists
    7 Linebreak Assists
    6 Linebreaks

    Might wanna check your averages again...

    Big right foot step and falls on his ass? Haha yeh he really needs to get that out of his game.

    He's actually really quick for a half which is what makes his support play so great, was our top try scorer last year iirc.

    I think you need to check your stats if you think Walsh and Pearce have played 21 and 22 games this season respectively...

    So bloody quick. There was a game against the Dragons last year where he took off for a ~60m try and looked untouchable. Must be one of the quickest halves in the NRL along with Soward.

    Does anyone have the top try/line break assists for a half? One per every two games or so seems poor to me, or is that about average?

    Never realised how many tries Bowen created off his foot last year.

    Is that based on the stats?

  17. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah; they certainly seem to indicate he's produced some tries off his boot there. By far the most common way of creating a try assist without a line break assist.

    People laughed and probably still would, when I said that Bowen had a better kicking game than Lockyer. I still believe it to be true.

    Yeah, I was just wondering because I didn't remember Bowen setting that many tries off kicks in 2012 either. I've always wondered about the how the relationship between try assists and line break assists works out for fullbacks. Because the other way main way that you get a TA without a LBA is when you have an overlap out wide, or when a player beats the edge defence before putting another player away. Since fullbacks are generally the players moving into the line as the second or third receiver out wide they are more commonly in a position to throw that last pass or get outside the fringe defenders, which often only get awarded a try assist. For example, Corey Norman managed 3 try assists but only 1 line break assist against Melbourne even though all the tries that he "set up" were through the hands.

    If there were any players who you would expect to get awarded a few try assists without line break assists but weren't using the boot, it would be fullbacks or centres. Looking at it now I don't think this contribution means anything or has any purpose, it is just something I was pondering the other day ...
