With the John I Dent Cup competition returning from a bye this week and while everyone has one eye on finals as we get closer to August footy, we have done our homework to present our full breakdown of how each side is looking at this point in the season.
See our full stats breakdown ahead of Round 12 below.
- Just one movement from the ladder ahead of Round 12 as Wests Lions leapfrog into second place, leaving the Canberra Royals to fall into third.
- With another solid win for Queanbeyan in Round 11, they continue to slowly improve their for and against as they aim to get back into the positives.
- Despite being top of the table just a few weeks ago, Gungahlin Eagles have now fallen slightly behind the pack, now nine points away from the first placed Tuggeranong Vikings.
- Following a try-double last week Junior Time Taotua has claimed top spot on the try-scorers table.
- Klayton Thorn is now second on the try table after missing multiple weeks due to injury.
- Pedro Rolando has only just overtaken Lachlan Day in points with the Royals veteran sittting on 110 points while Day is on 109.
- Gungahlin's lead in points scored is slowly narrowing as their scoring dominance seems to have relatively slowed.
- Wests are now third in total points scored after a mammoth 53 point effort against Uni-Norths in Round 11.
- Wests are now definitively the most carded side in the competition with 14 total, 2 more than the second most in the Whites.
- On the other hand, thhe Tuggeranong Vikings have shown the best card dicipline, receiving the least amount of cards, with no reds at all.
- Despite two very different scoring approaches, the Eagles and the Whites have the most successful kicks at goal with 54.
- 91% of Gungahlin's points off the boot are from conversions while the Whites show a different tactic with 65% conversions and 35% penalty goals.
- Wests certainly have a key issue with their discipline as not only do they have the most cards, but they are also lead the competition in penalties conceded.
- The Royals Scrum is still near perfect, with a 94% success rate, 4% higher than any other side, despite the spread from first to last being only 10%.
- Tuggeranong continue to extend their lead in the kicks in play category, showing their willinigness to toe the ball upfield in many situations.
