With the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys players having a well-deserved break this weekend, we thought we would take a look at some of our player’s highest GPS stats from the first 16 rounds.
While we know that Valentine Holmes is currently leading the NRL in points with 149, did you know that Tom Dearden, Chad Townsend and Reece Robson have each run for more than the equivalent of three marathons?
You might also know that Murray Taulagi leads the NRL in interceptions with five, but did you know that forwards Reuben Cotter and Reece Robson have both been registered at speeds in excess of 32.5km/h?
Here is a full breakdown of some of our player’s highest GPS readings from the first 16 rounds.
