Contact

Carry

A player running with the ball into contact or open space.

What to Look For

Record when a player receives the ball and runs forward. Enter meters gained (estimate is fine — 0 for no gain, negative not needed, just use 0). In Pro mode, also enter defenders beaten and whether it was a line break. A carry that results in a try is still a carry — record both.

Best Practices

Meters per carry is more telling than total meters. A forward averaging 3+ meters per carry is making ground. Track line break rate — it shows who's actually piercing the defense vs. running into walls.
