With the John I Dent Cup competition starting to look ahead to finals, we have dug deep and found the in's and out's of every team which are now available to view.

See our full stats breakdown ahead of Round 9 below.

JIDC R10 How they Stand
  • The Wests Lions have reclaimed their place on top of the John I Dent Cup Ladder, with a nail-biting win over Gungahlin in Round 9.
  • Queanbeyan Whites, have now leapfrogged Uni-Norths Owls to escape the dreaded wooden spoon, but another win for either side may be the deciding factor as they clash this weekend.
JIDC R10 Stat Leaders
  • Adding one to his try tally in Round 9, Klayton Thorn continues to be the only player averaging a try a game in the competition.
  • The only other try-scores in the current top five that added to their tallies last week was Clay Uyen, and Wests momentum swinger Luke Kilkeary.
  • Cullin Cooper-Jones has put in another strong performance last week to extend on his point scoring lead with the Queanbeyan number nine scoring 45% of his sides' total points.
JIDC R10 Points
  • Despite losing in their top of the table clash, Gungahlin remain the most dangerous side with the balll in hand, by a convincing margin of 71 points.
  • The biggest odd ball however, seems to be Wests with the side only scoring 290 poinits so far despite their deadly Meredith, Anderson and Gray combination. Sometimes seeming as if the Jamison based boys contantly play to their opposition's standard.
  • Uni-Norths struggle the most to get on the board with the difference between them and Queanbeyan being 26, which can be attributed to the Whites having a dominant scorer in Coooper-Jones' with 118 points compared to Owls' top scorer Samuel Toa's 48.
JIDC R10 Cards
  • Continued to be the most haunted by discipline overall, Queanbeyan cleaned up their cardings' last week which proved a huge difference as the struggling side competed well with Tuggeranong for the entire match, showing the difference when they are able to keep 15 on the field.
  • Despite conceding the most penalties, the Vikings walk the line quite well as they are currently the least carded side wth no red cards and just 6 yellows.
JIDC R10 Kicks
  • Gungahlin's strong attacking flair continues to be capitalised on extremely well, with the side showing off the most total conversions.
  • A heavy win from the Canberra Royals last week meant the traditionally penalty-goal heavy side opted against their go-to for the week, letting Queanbeyan match their total as Cooper-Jones kicked two.
JIDC R10 In Depth
  • Wests monstered through the Eagles line on eight occasions last week in what was the most productive week for any side so far this year.
  • The Royals once again showed off their scrum dominance in Round 9 winning all 10 of their efforts against the Owls, and many extremely convincingly.
  • Still the best side on a lineout, Tuggeranong also had a perfect week going 8/8.
