2023 Betfred Super League statistical superstars

At the end of one of the tightest and most competitive Betfred Super League seasons in memory, even the battle to be the competition?s top try-scorer went down to the wire.

And for the first time in 23 seasons, the award was shared ? with both Tom Johnstone of Catalans Dragons and England, and Abbas Miski of Wigan Warriors and Lebanon, level on 27 tries.*

A third wing, the Leigh Leopards veteran Josh Charnley, was just one touchdown behind on 26, with Tommy Makinson of St Helens fourth on 22, Wigan?s Liam Marshall fifth on 20, and Hull FC?s Adam Swift sixth on 19.

Wigan?s Bevan French, who like Johnstone was today named in the Betfred Super League Dream Team, was eighth in the try-scoring charts with 17, and reigned supreme in the list of assists, having laid on 30 tries for his team-mates.

Jack Welsby, the St Helens and England full-back who was also included in the Dream Team, was second in that chart with 27, with the Catalans and Samoa star Tyrone May third with 23.

Welsby also figures highly in the offloads category, with his tally of 44 beaten only by the Wigan centre Toby King, who had 45.

Leigh Leopards claimed a notable double, with Tongan prop Tom Amonethe leading metre-maker with 3,467 ? at an average of 128.41 per appearance ? and their captain John Asiata carrying the ball 528 times, all the more impressive as he has missed the last two matches.

And the 2023 Betfred Super League top tackler was the Huddersfield Giants forward Luke Yates with a remarkable tally of 1027 at an average of almost 43 per appearance.

The Leeds Rhinos team-mates Cameron Smith and Jarrod O?Connor were just behind him in the elite grafters category, and split by only four tackles ? Smith with 996, and O?Connor 992.

*The last time the top try-scorer award was shared at the end of a regular Super League season was in 2000, when the St Helens half-backs Tommy Martyn and Sean Long were joined by the Castleford Tigers wing Darren Rogers with a tally of 20 tries.
