NRL Statistics

Offloads

When an attacking player with the ball passes the ball to a teammate whilst in the process of being tackled by a defender.

Usually an NRL stat dominated by forwards, offloads are very useful for an attacking team as they create second phase play, when the defensive line is unstructured.

Offloads are doubly effective in leading to more running metres in attack, but also potentially creating linebreaks and then tries.

However, too many or poor quality offloads can lead to errors and a bad completion rate.

Example: “Andrew Fifita made 5 offloads against the Parramatta Eels, 3 of which led to line breaks.”

While you can't bet specifically on offloads, they provide a useful indication to the punter of the style of football a particular team plays.

Certain teams are instructed not to offload, instead placing a higher importance on ball security, often with the result of dour, low-scoring footy. However, teams that regularly offload may be involved in more high-scoring, open games.

Benchmark: A player who makes 3 or more offloads in a single game can be considered difficult for opposition players to defend against,
