That's statistically unlikely.

The point of the post was more I thought it was interesting 4 of the top 5 were from the same game, not a request for people to try and figure out how to turn it into a Chad bash

Mate you could post about front rowers and some people will turn it into a Chad bash.

Interesting stats out of last weekend

Distance covered (all games)
1st Adam Clune 9.69km
2nd Chad Townsend 9.63
3rd Jayden Brailey 9.57km
4th Enari Tuala 9.55km
5th Will Kennedy 9.41km

So what do you think was the biggest factor? Was there more ball in play during this game than others? I'm not sure it felt like an "end to end" game so much.

Was it just these 4 guys or were there others from the same game who were in the top 20-25?

Unfortunately they only publish a top 5 as far as I am aware, not sure where to find rest of the data. I would have been interested to look.

I'd assume a decent amount of ball in play and I guess maybe both sides playing with a bit more width than is typical (not just spreads but even maybe some hitups a bit wider, or one pass wide more often, to force players like Jayden to have to chase their tackles a bit more).
If it wasn't such a heartbreak at the end I might rewatch it with this info in mind and see if anything jumped out.
