If rugby league's offload is a work of art, then Parramatta's Junior Paulo is the Michelangelo of the NRL.
In that moment when a player looks to pass after contact, there's a risk of a loose carry.
At Parramatta though, dumping it off appears to form part of a larger gameplan for coach Brad Arthur."The style that we play comes off a lot of second-phase footy and I feel like that's where we have our strike power coming from." There's also some evidence the premiers are looking to keep the ball moving more often. Their offloads per game has jumped from 7.8 in 2019 to 11.8 in 2020.The players from Bondi have tallied close to 30 fewer offloads than Parramatta on the season, but they lead the competition in tries from sets that featured an offload, with 17.
