His metres had a bit to do with his name obviously being in bold letters on Cowboy's defensive tip sheet last week .
Only from close to the tryline
Put three on the Knights with just 56 run meters.
I think to an extent we just have to accept that the way we use our edges isn't for a lot of meters.
We have four outside backs who are all good meter makers to start sets and then a good middle rotation to take over. The edges only really get brought into the running game on shift plays when they receive but don't pass on.
Most of our middles could play more minutes and our backs get through their work easy enough, not a great
need for the edge forwards to push their way in for carries.
Obviously Wade in middle for a bit but him Nikora and Teig made a combined 136-14-5 (made, missed, ineffective) of our 451-54-19 team tackles, or 30%-26%-26%
They only made 297 of our 2110 meters (14%) although Nikora was a very low contributor to that, he did make the most tackles of the three.
We just don't use our line running 94kg edge player for a lot of hit ups
