Leading into Round 13 of the John I Dent Cup, our full stats breakdown is now available to view so fans can check out how their side is travelling ahead of their Saturday matchups.
See our full stats breakdown ahead of Round 13 below.
- Tuggeranong Vikings remain top of the table, with the same two point buffer over the second placed Wests Lions after both sides nabbed another win in Round 12.
- The Queanbeyan Whites fell to Wests by two points in a match that was desperately needed, likely snuffing out their finals hopes with just three regular season matches remaining.
- After missing multiple weeks of the John I Dent Cup, Klayton Thorn returned in Round 12 and picked up where he left off scoring three tries and reclaiming his position as the competitions top try-scorer.
- Queanbeyan's Cullin Cooper-Jones has also continued to exend his already strong lead in the point scoring, looking likely to score the most in the competition at the regular season's end.
- The Gungahlin Eagles' early mammoth lead over other sides in point scoring has now severely narrowed with Tuggeranong hot on their tail, just 12 points behind them.
- Uni-Norths point scoring woes continued in Round 12, contributing to the side being left behind the pack, 105 points behind the second-last placed Queanbeyan.
- Wests are the definitively the most carded side after receiving two yellows last weekend, meaning the second-placed Lions have key discipline concerns to address ahead of finals.
- After Vikings recieved two cards in Round 12, both Royals and Gungahlin are currently the best disciplined sides, arguably with Gungahlin just ahead as the Eagles have recieved no reds.
- Continung on with two very different strategies off the boot, Gungahlin and Queanbeyan are tied for the most successful kicks at goal with 58 a piece (Gungahlin: 53 Conversions, 5 Penalty Goals; Queanbeyan: 38 Conversions, 20 Penalty Goals)
- The top five sides all remain relatively close showing their capabilities to add on the extras, with Uni being the exception.
- The Vikings polarising attack continues to spark their willingness to put boot to ball, with the most kicks in play by a decent margin as a result of their strong kick-chase efforts.
- Tuggeranong also remain incredibly dangerous on the other side of the ball as the side have the most turnovers in the competition 18 ahead of the next best side.
