I was quite shocked to read some of these statistics. The NRL site didn't have some of the players statistics updated like Daniel Mortimer's but here's the list of the top statistics:
Games Played: 20 (Fui Fui Moi Moi, Nathan Cayless, Feleti Mateo)
Tries Scored: 10 (Jarryd Hayne)
Goals: 52 (Luke Burt)
Field Goals: 1 (Luke Burt)
Points: 129 (Luke Burt)
Tackles: 847 (Nathan Hindmarsh)
All Run Metres: 3019 (Jarryd Hayne)
Hit Ups: 316 (Jarryd Hayne)
Best Statistics: Jarryd Hayne
It'll be interesting to see what the statistics say for the end of year; obviously depending on whether we make it to the finals or not.

But lets look at the team as a whole and not just the top count.
Hayne being top of the hit ups has got to make us ask - what is the rest of the team doing?
Run metres is not such a problem as Hayne has scored probably half his tries from inside our own half.
To put this into real stat territory we need them for the rest of the team as well.
Eg. 316 Hit ups for Hayne - who is next best and so on. Mateo may have 310, Mannah 307, Fui 315 and so on.
Tries - what are the stats on other players. Again some could have 9 or 8 so this would start to balance the equation.
- it really does make you wonder considering he isn't a dominate defending player
- it's hard to say with the rest of the team cause as i had some aren't updated and because of injured players. but i do have some of the stats for the top players.
