Stats breakdown as The Final Charge kicks off…

4 hrs

As The Final Charge get underway this weekend, let’s have a look at the current stats situations…

League Table:

Leeds Rhinos remain the team to catch in 2026.

Brad Arthur's side sit top of the table on 36 points following 18 wins from their opening 22 fixtures, with Wigan Warriors just two competition points behind in second.

Wakefield Trinity continue to enjoy a superb campaign in third, while Warrington Wolves, current champions Hull KR and Leigh Leopards currently occupy the remaining top six positions.

The race to finish as high as possible is hotter than ever, with seven-placed St Helens fighting to save their season and break into the Play-Offs.

Points:

The 2025 Steve Prescott MBE Man of Steel Jake Connor has been at the heart of the Rhinos' rise to the summit and is leading the competition's points-scoring charts.

With 248 points to his name, Connor has opened up a significant gap on the Warriors' Adam Keighran, who sits second with 204.

Fitting that it's players from the current top two sides, right?

1. Jake Connor (Rhinos) - 248

2. Adam Keighran (Warriors) - 204

3. Rhyse Martin (The Robins) - 166

4. Adam Cook (Leopards) - 143

5. Jackson Hastings (Saints) - 134

Tries:

Maika Sivo has taken Super League by storm in 2026.

The Rhinos winger has crossed for an incredible 29 tries and is one of only four players to break the 20-try barrier so far this season.

Leeds teammate Brodie Croft is his nearest challenger on 25, while Wigan's Zach Eckersley sits third with 24 and continues to climb round by round, having scored in his last seven Super League matches.

Super League’s current all-time top try scorer Josh Charnley continues to roll back the years with 23 tries, before Castleford Tigers’ Jason Qareqare rounds out the top five.

With Sivo out injured at the moment, can anybody chase him down in The Final Charge?

1. Maika Sivo (Rhinos) - 29

2. Brodie Croft (Rhinos) - 25

3. Zach Eckersley (Warriors) - 24

4. Josh Charnley (Leopards) - 23

5. Jason Qareqare (Tigers) - 18

Try Assists:

Few players have dictated games quite like Jake Connor this season.

The Leeds playmaker leads Super League for try assists with 34, six clear of St Helens half-back Jackson Hastings.

With the Rhinos emerging as one of Super League’s chief entertainers in 2026, it's no surprise Connor is at the centre of so much of their creativity.

1. Jake Connor (Rhinos) - 34

2. Jackson Hastings (Saints) - 28

3. Jake Trueman (Trinity) - 25

4. Tyrone May (The Robins) - 22

5. Adam Cook (Leopards) - 19

Goals:

1. Jake Connor (Rhinos) - 116

2. Adam Keighran (Warriors) - 82

3. Rhyse Martin (The Robins) - 71

4. Adam Cook (Leopards) - 65

5. Jackson Hastings (Saints) - 63

Metres:

Catalans Dragons flyer Charlie Staines tops the metre-making charts with a remarkable 3,687 running metres.

And despite his side's disappointing campaign, 'Forbes Ferrari' has impressed, week in, week out. It may be all over for the Dragons where Play-Off aspirations are concerned, but neverthless, they will be looking to end on a positive note if they can.

Current Man of Steel contender Lachie Miller is closely behind in third.

1. Charlie Staines (Dragons) - 3,687

2. Tom Davies (Robins) - 3,461

3. Lachie Miller (Rhinos) - 3,330

4. Innes Senior (Leopards) - 3,022

5. Jack Broadbent (Robins) - 2,959

Tackles:

Bradford Bulls captain Joe Mellor continues to lead by example.

The Bulls number 13 tops Super League with 821 tackles made this season, narrowly ahead of Wolves’ Ben Currie and Warriors’ Brad O'Neill - two teams at the top end of the table.

Despite sitting outside the Play-Off places, Bradford's defensive workload has certainly kept Mellor busy.

1. Joe Mellor (Bulls) - 821

2. Ben Currie (Wolves) - 773

3. Brad O'Neill (Warriors) - 755

4. Andy Ackers (Bulls) - 751

5. Tyson Smoothy (Trinity) - 751

Offloads:

When it comes to keeping defences guessing, Taane Milne remains the competition benchmark.

The Huddersfield Giants' outside back has produced 46 offloads this season, seven more than the next best player, despite his team sitting bottom of the pile.

1. Taane Milne (Giants) - 46

2. Harry Newman (Hull FC & Rhinos) - 39

3. Tristan Sailor (Saints) - 34

4. James McDonnell (Rhinos) - 33

5. Charlie Staines (Dragons) - 32

Kicks:

A stat for the half-backs, but it's another category, and another Leeds Rhinos player sitting at the top.

Jake Connor, again, leads all players with 265 kicks this season and ranks among the leaders for kicking metres, forced drop-outs and try assists from kicks. He also has 7,688 kicking metres to his name, but is behind Catalans' Toby Sexton who has 8103 in total.

Dragons pair Sexton and Lewis Dodd continue to shine with the boot, while Harry Smith's kicking game remains a crucial weapon for the second-placed Warriors.

1. Jake Connor (Rhinos) - 265

2. Toby Sexton (Dragons) - 240

3. Jackson Hastings (Saints) - 235

4. Harry Smith (Warriors) - 229

5. Jake Arthur (Hull FC) - 206

The BIGGEST 40/20 ever? ??
