Whereas Mahoney took a few more steps and kinda drew the defenders so at least Hughes was running between the two bodies before they could react, Grant attracted nobody and Wishart ran head first into them, relying on his Wishy genetics of superhuman strength and sexy quads to push over 500kgs (estimated) of defenders with no help from the pass
Also don’t think these things can be assessed in a single frame
I wanted to put little gifs up of each try, but that would have required SI levels of technical skills, so a blurry screen grab was the best I can offer.
Hughes's try was easier because Radley made a poor first up effort , rather than anything Mahoney/Grant did/didn't do
I've now watched those tries more often than the stats guys have though.
The crash play is such a common play though, that I can't believe stats guys spend time sorting through them trying to work out which ones are assists and which ones aren't when the differences are so minor
