NRL Statistics

Kick Metres

How far the ball travels towards the opponents try line from kicks during a game of rugby league.

Usually used to gauge how much and how far teams' halves are able to kick the ball, kick metres can be a useful NRL stat in demonstrating which players can relieve pressure from their forwards and boot the ball downfield.

However, a team with high kick metres can also indicate that their forward pack and outside backs aren't getting the job done in carting the ball up the field.

Example: “Adam Reynolds is averaging a league-high 375 kick metres per game.”

While kick metres can be telling, they are also a hazardous stat for punters to put too much stock into.

This is because while kick metres highlight the players who have the longest boots in the comp, this can simultaneously indicate players who are forced to repetitively kick long from their own half.

That is why studying kick metres in conjunction with running metres is a good strategy.

Example: A halfback should aim to average over 200 kick metres per game.
