Just to add, five of those teams are also in the top six for errors made. I would suggest that is a consequence of their offloading game?

One of the dangers of trying to stop offloads by gripping the ball or arm is the probability that if the player loses the ball the ref will blow up for reefing. This always seems to happen if the ref isn't looking whilst he is going back 10m; turns round and sees the ball on the floor he inevitably blows up. Happens a lot with Wigan.

Very interesting post. Wonder if that'll play out the same come the end of the season?

Number of offloads = number of extra tackles the opposition has to make.
That sapping of the gas is probably more relevant than the attacking threat of the offload itself
