The sole time the Kangaroos won from their season highs above was in total sprints against the Bulldogs, and this proved a key indicator for them under Brad Scott. Winning or losing this category under Scott in the first 10 rounds equated with the final result. It was the opposite for Rhyce Shaw's opening three matches in charge, before they narrowly outsprinted the Pies on Saturday night. - Marc McGowan
