Thought I'd throw out some leaders with a month or so to go.
For those unfamiliar with the model, it measures player involvement with respect to their minutes and possession. It also factors in other positive/negative plays as literal "one percenters" which effect the score by exactly 1% in either direction.
For 2024 I have started modelling tackle/ruck wins. This is not a measure of ptb speed. It measures whether the player wins the tackle, which can be either by:
- finding his front and playing the ball cleanly
- offloading cleanly
- beating the tackle entirely, or
- doing none of these things, but playing the ball before both markers are in position
The tackle win model is also weighted for the number of opponents in the tackle.
Note also that the model is position-centric. E.g. games where Talakai, Williams, Wilton split time between edge and middle, their edge time doesn't effect their middle score and vice-versa.
Enjoy

Ball in Play
Keep this one in mind, as reviewing any other graph needs to take BiP in to consideration.
McInnes the obvious winner here.

Attacking Involvement
The low-minute benchies take the win here, including Finucane's 3 game cameo.

Defensive Involvement
Tommy the busiest defensive middle.

Combined Involvement
Tuks the winner here. Low minutes but top 2 in both attack and defence.

Winning the Tackle
Royce is a beast here. Takes 3 men in the tackle to slow him down at all.
Rudolf and Kaufusi the best of the higher-minute players.
Tommy improving, but still work to do.
*Note here that the model is weighted to players who are in 3+ man tackles. McInnes wins a high % of his tackles, but also has much a higher ratio of 1 and 2 man tackles than the rest of the team (i.e. we would need a larger sample for Cam's data to be meaningful here).

Runs inside own 40
The low minute guys and Dale feature heavily again.

Runs inside attacking 25
Tuks and BHU with plenty of impact in good ball.
Toby seeing very little possession at the right end of the field.

Getting Buried (More than 20 Minutes BiP and less then 40% possesion)
No surprises here.

Good Timing (10-20 minutes BiP with more than 60% possession)
Talakai with an amazing run of possession against the Titans.
