Super League returns after week\u2019s break due to the Challenge Cup, but before the action starts up again it\u2019s time to have a look at which players are topping all the important stats, including tries, assists, tackles and metres.<\/p>\n

There have been plenty of dominant performers in the first seven rounds of Super League, however, some players who are among the statistically best are surprising.<\/p>\n

To the surprise of no-one, it\u2019s Maika Sivo<\/a> who leads Super League for tries and that\u2019s despite him missing out in round one but he\u2019s been dominant since then with only Hull FC and Bradford Bulls stopping him from crossing the whitewash.<\/p>\n

He bagged four in Las Vegas against Hull KR and has registered hat-tricks against both Castleford Tigers and Warrington Wolves but all that scoring dominance doesn\u2019t correlate with metres made, with the Fijian almost 750 metres behind Catalans\u2019 Charlie Staines, who tops that metric.<\/p>\n

Signed from the NRL, Staines has had a very strong start to life in Super League with the full-back making a whopping 1,391 metres in seven games at an average of just under 200 metres per game.<\/p>\n

Only three other players have surpassed 1,000 metres, highlighting how impressive Staines has been. There\u2019s also a clear standout for tackles made with Bradford\u2019s Joe Mellor almost 50 clear of second-place, which is teammate Ryan Sutton.<\/p>\n

Mellor is racking up an average of over 50 tackles per game with the 69 he made against Leeds Rhinos last week among the highest-ever in a regular 80-minute Super League clash.<\/p>\n

England and Warrington skipper George Williams tops the assists chart with nine whilst Jackson Hastings is in hot pursuit on eight, with his St Helens\u2019 teammate Tristan Sailor tied for the most offloads alongside Junior Nsemba.<\/p>\n
