Based on the criteria below, I guess it’s down to Drew Mitchell, Diggers, Cliffy and David Pocock.
Surprisingly for me is Scott Higginbotham, playing his first full season and featuring in both tables…onya Higgers!!!
I love stats.
Top 10 players by metres gained 
Top 10 players by runs made

Just out of interest, do you have the stats for Tom Carter?
I wouldn’t expect him to be up the top here because he’s only played 2 full games. In fact the minutes he’s played for each of the first 6 games are 20, 23, 80, 45, 15, 80.
Go Diggers.
I’ve got an interesting stat for Tom Carter:
Number of other Super 14 sides Tom Carter would start in the number 12 jumper for: 0
;)
Tom Carter
Mtr Gained Total = 110 (ranked 49 ), per game = 18 (=47)
Runs Total = 15 (51), per game = 3 (=45)
Who has the highest metres per run?

I looked at that stat but it seemed to favour the backs too much so I didn’t bother with it.
I’ll post it later…..
Matt Toomua with 21 mtr/run!!!
Of the more regular players:
Lachie 14m/r
Drew Mitchell 14m/r
Shep 14m/r
Mungo McLinden 12m/r
All fullbacks or wingers…
The mungoloid is sneaking beneath the radar. Doing really well stats wise
…..and what about the tackle busts?…
I’ve got all that sort of raw data so it’s a matter of me finding some time to collate it as it is not in a very good format.
I LOVE STATS!!!!!
matt giteau is the best australian attacking player regardless of stats.
Yeah Juan, you need to do a NFL-sort of stat. Metres gained when line isn’t broken v metres gained when it is. Metres gained off set piece v metres gained in broken play.
ETC ETC ETC.
:D
Naly D’s last blog post..Who is the funniest commentator/analyst in the country?
Yeah get your act together JC
How about: tries scored. I reckon Benn Robinson would be pretty high up that list. He knows how to find the tryline.
No one could collate something as abstract as tries scored.
You’re right, what a boring stat..so obvious
Top 10 try scorers
Pos Name Tries Pld Team
1 Benn Robinson 5 6 Waratahs
2= Casey Laulala 4 4 Crusaders
2= Pierre Spies 4 5 Bulls
2= Sitiveni Sivivatu 4 6 Chiefs
2= Lelia Masaga 4 6 Chiefs
2= Isaia Toeava 4 6 Blues
7= Ashwin Willemse 3 5 Lions
7= Wynand Olivier 3 5 Bulls
7= Cameron Shepherd 3 5 Western Force
7= Peter Hynes 3 5 Reds
7= Hosea Gear 3 5 Hurricanes
7= Digby Ioane 3 5 Reds
7= Andries Bekker 3 5 Stormers
7= Richard Kahui 3 5 Chiefs
7= Brendon Leonard 3 6 Chiefs
7= Joe Rokocoko 3 4 Blues
7= Anthony Tuitavake 3 6 Blues
7= Stirling Mortlock 3 5 Brumbies
So Benn should be a centre?
Gagger’s last blog post..My super rugby solution
No, Benn should be JP Pieterson for the Shorks.

Benn could play centre, however he would never get the ball playing outisde Portley
Not being a fan of aussie players, I like Palu.
sesenta y cuatro’s last blog post..Best goal kicker?
Are you suggesting he’s not Australian or not a player?
