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.

Nice!

So it seems like Fitzy is good at allowing his assistant coaches to have meaningful input, as well!

It just gets better!!!

TLDR : Fitzy rules.

This has been the most notable thing about the Sharks attack this season. The lack of it was also what was abundantly clear for the Warriors playing against the reduced numbers. They were just trying to pass side to side with out pulling in or engaging defenders. It's really important in the modern game.

The most impressive part for me is that the Sharks have done an extremely good job (up until this point) at ensuring any player who doesn't get the ball and is used as a decoy isn't impeding the defensive line.

I think Steve Price particularly deserves credit there. Defensive coach in 2016 and now again in collaboration with Fitzy.

It has been a feature of our play that certainly stood out to me this year. In recent years I've felt like we've been a one out team and relying on things like Fifita's size or Wade's footwork to get over the advantage line.

It's a huge difference to the way we play and impressive such a change was possible over a single offseason.

We are also seeing the less experienced forwards now with games under the belts between 50-70 games so 2-3 years of first grade week in week out.
