Official Connor Tracey

[snowman]

There was a guy @ Wigan in the SL who opitimised what Pap does now - Kris Radlinski.
Every drive Wigan took he was there in support and would push up through the line incase someone got a hand free or made a half break so that he was there in support.
Its a skill in its own no doubt, but when done correctly leads to so many line breaks and tries simply through putting themselves in the right position at the right time

what a player he was!

there was a better guy though, danny maguire

70% of his tries were from support play

Hated McGuire lol
But thats me as St.Helens lad - broke my heart too many times in grand finals.
Both McGuire and Burrow were always in support of their domiant pack

It's not just Pap, its the whole melbourne spine. When Nelson runs Grant and Smith a falling over each other to take the offload or scoot on the back of his PTB. Hughes and Munster are always supporting too. Those are the little effort plays that make Bellamy the amazing coach he is.

I have noticed McInnes trying to do it a bit off brailey though which is nice to see. WK needs to take a leaf out of his book.

Agreed – this is what McInnes could bring to our team in the 13.

Great game from Tracey considering how long he was out for. You'd have had no idea he's missed a game the little energizer bunny

His play the ball speed alone can change the momentum.

I think the time out before this week was what won him my 1 vote over a couple other deserving players

Until I edit at least…

This might be the most important stat you've never heard of - and Cronulla are dominating in it

Deep-diving push supports, potentially the best rugby league stat that you've never heard of.

Thanks SF. Great article. It also points out what we have all noticed this year - we still have a lot of improvement close to the line and last tackle options etc.

Over the next few years as we get better at this we will be unstoppable!

Be interesting to see what the stat was for the Broncos game.

Don't sweat it, you can edit it back if you change your mind

@burgess1978 just opened the article and put a coathanger on the door handle

Really interesting, and definitely something we started to notice when Talakai went nuclear. I'd like to see the league table for push supports... you'd think Wilton would be near the top of the list (at least for effective ones).

Tracey charges onto some of the passes from dummy half out of our own end like a bolt of lightning. Can't wait to see him break through the line one day and find some space though if his mind runs as quick as his legs how will his decision making and execution be? might need to play it safe and maybe take a tackle or better yet just run all the way to the tryline himself!

Still I think he is an improved player in 2022 and all heart.

He actually looked bigger and stronger on his return. And just as fit and fast. Dude's a certified freak.

I’m assuming decoy would be everytime the lead runner runs through without collecting the ball. It’s why a lot of middles are at the top, a lot of them would be running that lead decoy off the play the ball

Both our back rowers so high on the list shows the work they do at pushing up and getting through. Rudolf is also 13th with 50

Cheers Gal. I think it's a bit different to push supports, but gives you a good idea of who's good at it.

Josh must be p*ssed off

Teig does feature well, which makes sense. Shows he's a pretty complete footballer imho. He'll be in the squad for a long time to come.
