Duhan : 1 tackle made, 1 tackle missed. Ouch.

Daly's 0-1-1 line is more ouchy

Didn’t Daly make a couple of breaks with the ball? 1 metre doesn’t seem right

I was just thinking that - i distinctly remember him running a good 8 meters with someone hanging onto his shirt

It will be metres made past the gainline.

Ah that makes sense, cheers

I guess that's why fullbacks don't have 500 meters a game lol

On kick returns there is no gainline, so all metres carried forward are counted as 'metres made'.

Ha yeah this would be an utterly meaningless stat if it included metres made pre-gainline.

Yeh that doesn't make sense. He had two big moments.

I think he did more than DVM tbh, I'd maybe start Daly next game, but DVM can just pull magic from now where so... 🤷‍♂️

Is it a net metres made? Did he get driven back a bit?

u/ohmygod_trampoline Scotland Jun 21 '25

This would make sense because I’m sure Bealham got driver back about 20m in the 2nd half which would account for his +2 made.

He definitely had one good carry
