On which tackle is most tries scored?

[DC_fan]

Is there any statistics guru out there who knows the answer? At a guess I would say the 5th or Sixth. But that's based on the thought that early in the tackle count teams don't like to throw the ball around much, preferring to make use of a continuous stream of hit ups by forwards.

Surely it would be the last.

The missed tackle

Considering most teams do nothing with the ball and rely in the kick lottery it would have to be the last.

In Cronulla's case, the seventh.

Haha
And on the seventh tackle God created a NSW conspiracy against Jonathan Thurston .

So if we had one tackle football maybe then we would have a lot of tries being scored.

the way every team attacks now it would either be the 3rd of last. pretty much every attacking set in the 20 from every team.

tackle 1 - settle in the center
tackle 2 - settle two wide of the posts
tackle 3 - shift to the open side for a second man play

if doesnt score

tackle 4 - settle two passes back in
tackle 5 - settle one pass either way depending on where you want to kick
tackle 6 - kick

Surely it would have to be the 5th tackle grubber/bomb

Cool story. How many were scored off kicks last night?

Wow a 7 tackle set that's mad

 

[Cheops]

Agreed. In fact, I'd say every try is scored off the last tackle of the set.

4th tackle, third consecutive set

Well a dark horse might be the zero tackle. The number of tries that come of a kick that are first touched by the defending side is pretty high.

Last tackle is probably the answer but I reckon zero tackle would come next.
