One Linebreak

[weasel]

That's all North Queensland managed on Saturday night. And they were still able to rack up 30 points. I thought it was a misprint when I first read it in the paper, but it seems to check out on nrl.com.

I'd love to see a tries scored/linebreaks made ratio for every club for 2005. Anyone willing to go to the effort of figuring it out? You'd have my thanks and respect, and that's worth heaps.

Raiders made 0 line breaks a few weeks ago and scored 18 points against the Broncos.

Weren't most of the Cows tries scored from kicks? Other than Bowen none of the normal dazzlers looked very potent.

I know John Sutton made two on Saturday night and scored two tries.

When i went up to QLD from Sydney for the Sharks Broncos game i swear the Sharks made plenty of breaks and couldn't score many points

 

[Matt23]

The Sharks made only linebreak against the Knights...you'll never guess who that player was

Manly made 0 in their 12-16 loss to Penrith, there were two other 0's as well. The most was 18, Cronulla v Manly.

The comparison between linebreaks and tries is only valid if you're counting just those tries that were scored from linebreaks... i.e. ignore tries from kicks, intercepts, etc.

 

[bazza]

In the major semi in 1999 Parramatta made something like 10 line breaks and Melbourne made 0 - but Melbourne won

 

[Earl]

Thats how good Melbournes defence is

They scored a few tries from kicks and one from and error 2 metres out.

 

[Biglance]

u can still score tries without line breaks = carry guys over the line or off kicks etc

When I saw the title for this thread I thought it was going to be about Terry Hill's stats for the year.

Carrying people over the line counts as a line break.

 

[strewth_mate]

What about intercepts? Getting a flick-pass from your centre to score in the corner from a metre out? Chip and chase? Chargedowns? Streaking away with a loose ball dropped by the fullback from a clearing kick? Scoring a try in general? Seems a fine line.

I assume also that a try isn't counted as a tackle, but it seems to be added to your metres gained.

 

[Balmain_Boy]

Think about it this. At any time where the defensive line could have made a tackle, it's a line break. Except for the fullback.

Tries count as missed tackles for the blokes that get dragged over.

Chargedowns arn't linebreaks , Neither is the fullback dropping the ball.

But getting a flick pass & scoring and carrying guys over the line is! ..

 

[bula_stormer]

Yeah most Cowboys tries came from kicks, Melbourne looked far more dangerous.

 

[aussies1st]

:lol: Raiders second worst with the ratio. Not surpising. Most times they make a break they panic so we bomb a try. M Nuffy is the king of this don't be surpised if he is the one that chucked our ratio so high.

but the cowboys won storm lost.it dosen't matter how you win.i am sure that if your team won the grand final with a try from a kick that you would be happy.
