What’s looks to be simple hand off, can only happen if there is someone in support to take the pass and score a try. That’s what great players do. They are in the right place at the right time. And never give up until the play is dead. Watch how many times one more pass would result in a try, and there is no one there to take it.
Summed it up perfectly
Legit speaking facts
Billy slater really knew how to close a game out man. He never played for any teams i supported so everytime he broke the line he broke my heart lmao
GO STOOOORRRRRRRMMMMMM!⚡⚡⚡⚡
A lot of the time, the work ethic, emotion, drive, perseverance and passion decides who win the game
As a fullback especially, supporting someone with the ball no matter where on the field and scoring off what the Americans call a hand off is a something that’s expected and is what billy is renowned for other than
His defensive talk from the back of the defensive line
The best thing Slater did that isn't really in this video at all was his fearless kick returns that gained so many meters for his team.
He's now the coach of Queensland last night they pulled off the unbelievable again.
He has the most try’s for his position but 2nd out of all positions ken has 212 try’s slater 190 but one of the things people don’t get about Billy was that he probably save just as much try’s or more then he scored
The thing about billy was always the right place right time. To score a try yes, but I can't count how many times I thought he lost, only to find out billy somehow held them up then we score on the last set of the game. Biggest clutch player.
Best Storm player, right now I’m wearing a hoody with number 1 and Slater name , man love for Billy.
Billy Slater had the all round game, his defence was second to none, he was brilliant at kick returns, he had a kicking game a passing game, he was the all round package and reguarded as the greatest fullback to play Rugby League 👌👍
Play with all heart miss watching him play. Loved your reaction bro 🔥🔥so many great highlights not in this vid
Whilst tries are important and memorable, assists are definitely remembered and respected
Billy Slater one of the best of all time!Love watching his sprints for the try line.
Much better Billy highlights compilations than that which showcase his true freakish skills.
Billy Slater no doubt the Greatest Fullback in NRL history🔥
Us Australians pronounce Melbourne like, Melben
Yeah well it’s spelled like Mel-BORN
czcams.com/video/8qaXEhufvwA/video.html you gotta react to South Sydney Rabbitohs 2020 highlights bro. Trust me it won’t disappoint🙏🏾‼️
@@elrifle24 and yet Arkansas isn't pronounced like Kansas
I’m Australian but I also know that there is a Melbourne in Florida, and realistically neither of us say it how it’s spelt so just drop it
Melbn.
Players also earn Try-Assists. The reason why he was so good was his support and backing up from other players.
Billy is my favourite player. They called him billy the kid because of his size he is the same size as a horse jockey and was one before he played league. The way he put his body on the line to save tries was unheard of before him, also he is the thinking mans footballer because he was always thinking of different ways to beat his oppoent.
He was called Billy the Kid because he joined Storm at 18, yet it was only in his final year that he lost his youthful speed and razzle dazzle.
Like many others Billy is from my hometown. He is doing a great job as Queensland State of Origin coach.
Regarding your question, 'what is worth more, the try or the setup?' Most followers understand that the setup is the most important component of a try, that is why the two halves are given so much acclaim within a team, because they are in charge of the setup. But, in Australian rugby league (at least) we understand that so many try's would not have been possible, have materialized, have been generated, if other members of the team were not backing-up. It is hammered into us by our coaches that we must always back-up no matter how exhausted we are. And, lets' face it, by the 60th minute onwards, mostly we are totally f....ed, and the passengers in the team are no longer backing-up. We understand that to those that back-up religiously, no matter how they are feeling, to those must go special plaudits. Terry Lamb from Canterbury Bankstown back in the 80's was one of these people and it has been engendered into our players to the point that it stands as the point of difference for us between winning and losing. Cheers Sean.
It’s a combination of both. The best fullbacks who score tries are known for being good support players. The number 6 and 7 (the playmakers - who are usually the highest paid players) orchestrate the magic and then FBs like Billy are always lurking to finish off ‘the play’ to score the try. However the best FBs can be playmakers themselves. The elite FBs can be playmakers as well as read and control defence. That’s why Billy is the best, he can do all those things to a high level.
exactly @Sean Tyler this is worded perfectly check this out. It is a really good explanation.
He has done a good job teaching Ryan Papenhuyzen, Billy the master, Paps the padawan. Paps has gone well the last 3 seasons (except when he unfortunately got injured of course).
Oh those were the days. Chanting at The Graveyard and then at AAMI Park
Sooooper SUPER Bill! Soooooper SUPER Bill!
SOOOOPER SUPER Bill⚡⚡☔☔☔⚡⚡⚡
Super Billy Slater! !
Set plays are the priority as opposed to the actual try, when im at training, and someone gets a try but they didn't use their teammates, my coach will not count it as a try because instead of passing the ball, the player was greedy and tried to push through the defense.
You make a really good point. Rugby (And I'm talking both league and union here) are sports where the team is far more important than the personal. Players who are for "solo glory" are bad rugby players, as often you need to "take the hit for the team" to "absorb defenders" and get them out of place. This is another key difference between American football and both Rugby codes. In NFL, only a limited number of people in the team ever
expect to score a touchdown. If we look at Rushed TD, that's running backs, and when the QB throws the ball, it's typically to the WR (just look at the NFL player stats table).
Now if we are talking Rugby (either code, but more strongly I would suggest in League) - everyone on the field has a pretty decent chance to cross the line.
There is a really interesting scientific paper on try scoring in Rugby (union) with statistics from 2003 international games, looking at the number of tackles in the play, the number of people the ball was passed to, how far the push started etc...
www.napier.ac.uk/~/media/worktribe/output-813839/an-examination-of-try-scoring-in-rugby-union-a-review-of-international-rugby-statistics.pdf
something anyone who has an interest in Rugby and has come from a sports statistics standpoint (like NFL is full of) should read and argue about...
@@bobbobskin Yeah it's annoying when players are constantly going for the solo plays in NRL, it doesn't tend to happen too much because of how they are trained, but it does get annoying when a player has open space and the ball carrier doesn't pass because they want to get the try themselves. Justin Olam did it last year and it cost us a match, he had Josh Addo-Carr on the outside with nothing but space and didn't pass, was held up and we lost. Now I like Justin Olam, but he has been caught out doing that a few times here and there and it can be frustrating.
Also on you part about any position scoring, I love it in any sport when the people who don't normally score, do so. In AFL when a defender scores a goal it's amazing, some players have gone their whole career without scoring or, only scoring a few goals. In soccer I love it when the goalie scores :D In both forms of Rugby when the big forwards barge over it is awesome.
On a side note, I'm glad that you specified, It's annoying when people call Union 'Rugby' Which one mothertrucker? There are 2 types. I didn't grow up watching Rugby League or Union, I didn't know there were 2 types, so when I started getting into Rugby League, I would search for 'Rugby' videos and it was never what I was looking for, I was like "What is this?" After probably 2 years of watching League I had worked out the differences over time, but jeez, not fun for new fans when searching for material. Specify people.
I appreciate the set up to a try much more than the try itself
Used to work at resort gym. This dude brought his trainer on holidays and trainer every day in the gym plus beach runs. Dudes a beast. Every second day doing 240kg dead's in circuits. Just ridiculous
He scored a lot, he was very quick.... but he is the greatest fullback for stuff that people new to the game wouldn't notice.
The main thing that makes him the greatest fullback ever is his positioning. When the opposition kicks downfield to gain territory Slater would always be in the best spot, he would take those kicks on the full and return the ball further down field than other fullbacks.
Re your question...some simple looking tries/plays on the end of an assist, while not always spectacular, show the player has the ability to time runs to perfection to split the defence and that they are consistently working to be near the ball-carrier in support. That is next level ability to read the game in motion and work ethic to be in position - doing the work 100% of the time even when there is a 1% chance there will be a play that will come of it. But that 1% is what wins games at the highest levels. Billy was always a player that could create a play form nothing, turning the tide of a game.
Like basketball, it's like an assist credit goes to the assist in some cases. In Billy Slater case of scoring tries, it's his own skills and brilliance..
Billy the Kid😍The best together with Lockyer ,JT,Greg English and few more.My fave Queenslanders
Billy's best assets were his speed, fitness, communication and ability to comeback from injuries.
Nah g his ability to get away with doing grubby shit
@@dirtysouth8906 What grubby shit? Destroying your team? That's not grubby, that's just you being jealous.
The build up to a try is just as important as scoring the try brother. The guys setting the trys up are usually the numbers 6 and 7 (standoff and half back) which we call the 'playmakers', with number 1 (fullback) running in support. The numbers 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 (forwards) usually run the ball up for the first couple of tackles and then play makers use the last tackles to try set up try-scoring plays
Numbers 2 3 4 and 5 (wingers and centres) are the guys out wide who usually score most tries
Billy Slater Coached the Queensland Maroons this year in our State Of Origin (New South Wales v Queensland/ 2 states) & we won the series in his first year :) game 1 we SMASHED then at their home field.
hell of a coach also. one of the most exciting to play the game.
it only matters if it gets over the line brother!
i hear what your saying BUT that support player was in the right spot or if the were not so they could receive the past. those 6 people old mate just side stepped and dummy passed too would be a waste if he had nobody to pass it to so they could score!
Bill the Kid was JUST AS GOOD in defence then he was offence.
thats the thing with NRL compared to NFL. we get hit & get back up OVER AND OVER AGAIN! with no brake in the plays. & play 2 way footy! its a different level of fitness & athletism
Everything is tracked for each individual player from Tries, meters gained, tackles, tackle busts, TRY assists, conversions, drop goals, missed-tackles, penalties, errors etc.
Rugby is a team sport. It doesn't have to be all razzle dazzle. Doing the basics right can secure the win. That being said, we love the razzle dazzle too.
Billy Slater is current Queensland State of Origin coach.
I've never seen such a great ball runner than Slater. Great balance, great hands, great step, turn of speed etc - the complete package.
PS he also had a "sixth sense" (actually his skill at reading the game) which meant he was always in the right place at the right time
How quickly he could change directions side to side was awesome, amazing step.
The play that gets to the try
The thing with barber was he had one to two good seasons but slater was consistently great for 15 plus years and I’m a nsw fan.. can’t deny the facts
Storms without Slater still make the GF year in year out, Bulldogs and Sharks without Barba can't get close (bulldogs had no right being there in 2014 coming from 8th but had no chance against rabbits)
@@ubbamelo7812 but slater done it year in year out for club, state and country I’d take him any day of the week
@@jbanks9174 You surround Barba with the same talent and he could've done the same. Only time Slater has ever single-handedly won the boys the game as the underdog team is when he threw the perfect pass to Benji to score for NZ in the 2008 World Cup Final lol was NZ's best player that day
@@ubbamelo7812 he could’ve done it yes but he also might not have, we will never know because it didn’t happen but what we do know is slater has. So we’re gonna have to agree to disagree on that one
@@jbanks9174 Just goes back to who you play for, they'd pick Slater at fullback because he plays club footy with Cronk and Smith. You keep that spine because of the chemistry. I just don't see why you brang Barba up like he wasn't good every year he played a part that broncos stint. Barba played good more than 2 years, his 2010, 11 12 13 and 16 years he made ordinary teams shine. Barba on his day could create something out of nothing and finish it, go look at Slaters highlights, everything is off a lockyer, thurston, cronk, smith, GI. Slater has had the better Career by far but you don't have to take a stab at bennys to hold slater higher they both have influenced and put smiles on many kids faces
Fun fact, he’s just been announced as Queensland coach!
It's all about the points, and whoever puts the ball down over the line gets the tick.
But everyone sees who made the try happen.
I don't know if it's only called an 'assist' in basketball if it results in points.
But in Rugby League the 'offload' is a big part of the game.
If a player can draw in 2, 3, or 4 defenders and still manage to offload the ball.
The main player stats are: How many tries they scored, how many metres they made, how many tackles they made, how many offloads.
And the kickers have their points and hit/miss percentage.
Technically speaking there are two rugby football codes: Rugby Union, commonly refered to as Rugby, and Rugby League, commonly refered to as League. Billy Slater is indeed one of the finest ever fullbacks in Rugby League, representing both his state (Queensland) and his country. A try in Rugby League is worth 4 points and the conversion is worth two points. A field goal is worth one point. Billy Slater was just a good decent bloke who kept his head down and played beautiful footy, and as far as I can recall was never involved in any controversies.
It’s always about the team - so whoever is open gets the try but then again some people go to the skill to get to the right place and finish.
A try is a try doesn’t matter how it’s done but people are more impressed by someone duking 5 people and then passing it to someone to put the ball down than what they’d be about the guy just putting the ball down if that makes sense
He was a brilliant player.
6:00 It doesn't matter how much skill or effort the guy before him does, if a player isn't there to catch the handoff the try doesn't get scored.
Fullbacks in general make their career on always backing up for trys. No matter what happens they are always there waiting for the ball.
Another great thing about Slater was that he was willing to put his body on the line to save a try from happening, 8:47 is a perfect example of that. In his career he did this alot! Most full backs these day, i wouldn't say 'do it the same' but aren't as willing to put their body on the line, even if it causes injury to save a try.
one of the players thats doesnt have a huge highlight reel but is sooooooooooooooooo under estimated Darren lockyer.
the single greatest field general and captain of all time.
Even without stats lines like the superstars he led broncos to a title, and then led the single best queensland dynasty ever, 7 consecutive origin title wins.
react to the best captain of all time
Your question about which is more impressive, the try scorer or the try assist. I think it depends. Johnathan Thurston was great at setting up tries, but didn’t score many himself. Although he didn’t score many, he is considered one of the best players ever. The highlights of JT on CZcams don’t really do him justice, as they can’t really show his control of games in a highlights package. Some great players can create tries from nowhere, and some can create opportunities from nowhere. Both are just as important as the other.
Absolutely the best 💯👈
The NRL had to write a new rule when Billy was sliding feet first to stop tries, other players tried copying him and started kicking people. Billy did it dozens of times and never touched anything but the ball.
4 points is 4 points. It makes no difference how much work, or how less work goes into it. You celebrate each 4 points the same, because that is the team achievement. After the celebration of the 4 points, you can then acknowledge the effort of a stand out performance if their was one, as a separate achievement, the same as you would admire a singular effort of brilliant play making, that perhaps didn't directly result in a try, but maybe pivotal to the teams endeavour and result. That, at least, is how I see it. Cheers Sean, TC.
Mate, to answer youre question in the 8th minute simply, every try indeed is worth 4 points, but some do add more value than others. A single try that has several hands in it can lift the scoring team, while hurting the other and lead to more trys being scored off the back of this phenomenon. But of you are referring specifically to the importance of billy scoring the try shown that triggers your question, billy was the perfect positional fullback. A full back in attack is expected to be following the ball 6/6 tackles for this exact scenario. Billy perfected positional play as a full back and has now set the bar for thr likes for james tedesco, tom trbojevic, and ryan papenhuyzen (just to name an exceptional few). Billy changed tge was a number 1 conducts himself the same way joey changed the way a 7 did. I sincerely hope you enjoy your dive into the world of rugby league, although foreign to you, this is the sport i grew up with and will always love, i hope you see the beauty of it the same way I and many other fans do. Cheers bud, Dave.
Fullback in NRL would be the equivalent of kick return / corner back/ safety hybrid player in the NFL. I didnt see much of him as i've moved to the UK but my old man said he was the most intelligent footballer he's seen in over 50 years of watching the game.
Tries are key and are the aim for the game but the plays just make it more enjoyable
You need to remember something, Rugby League is only well known in a handful of countries and not the biggest sport in any of them. Rugby Union is far more popular.
Billy Slater had a lot of the flashy stuff, but also a lot of the stuff that doesn't stick out, his leadership and direction from the back of the field, he helped his captain Cameron Smith in controlling play and knowing where and how to attack and defend.
6:00 I think you don't understand that it may just be handoff but that player had to run 40-50m sometimes to get that ball.
This game is much more tiring than NFL so it's a special skill to always be backing up your teamates and be ready for the handoff.
Plus the role of a fullback is literally to do that always be around the ball and ready for a handoff.
Just unbelievable vision knows where to be at the right time to score tries plus good foot wook n speed
Slater is the greatest full back because of how he changed the role of a standard full back. He was the best ever support runner, defender and finisher!!!
Some of the game’s best players are playmakers, meaning they don’t score many tries they just set the tries up. Which is why the NRL’s best player’s highlight packages aren’t that spectacular to the average viewer. The reason Billy is considered the best is because his position (fullback) was never a playmaker position, only a ball running (try scorer) position, but he was the first fullback that could do both. And he could defend too.
Snackbar88 Lockyer? Belcher?
@@docgonzales Not at Slater’s level, no. Locky obviously did once he moved to the halves
Being Smart enough to to be in the right place at the right time to take one step over the line for a try is just as good as running 99mtrs through all the oppositions defence If your playing for my team
Bit of both bro, points on the board, but skills and support get the fans clapping
Best fullback to have ever played the game
It's probably his age, why no one is asking for him he is the current Queensland coach. I bet no one is asking for Andrew Johns either he played from 1993 - 2007 and was the 8th immortal.
🐐
Greg ingles is a beast
Tries are important for the team but just like in NFL the quarterback is the most important position but he rarely gets touchdowns
It's more about how the try is a achieved
You need to understand that there's more to a try than just placing the ball down. There's so much that goes into it, from the line break to the support run to the pass and the score. Usually there's even more than that...
Billy slayer was a super star. But always played in teams full of super stars
They redefined how the position (Full Back) was played after Billy.
Eugen Tarau k genuine question , how? Belcher in the late '80's then Lockyer in the '90's played as fullbacks that often lined up as first receiver on the other side of the ruck to the half or 5/8 , effectively giving the attack two playmakers to set off from.
If you want to sound Australian we say mel-bin not Melbourne . Love your vids big fella . Cheers from brisbane
First Billys a goat no cap
It's the lead up to the try anyone can put the ball down it's the setup
King Billy
Billy Slaters a goat
Try assists are as significant a stat as tries
The best ever Billy
It's how smart he was as a player, his comms, his speed, just him, he's a legend 1 of the best in the nrl
Best Fullback ever I reckon.
There are 2 better highlight videos of Billy made by Bocko - Billy Slater Origin and Billy Slater 300th Tribute 🙌🏽
Mel ‘Burn’ By the way
We have try assists as important stats, so if a player breaks through the line and sets up and try for someone else it’s a try assist. It’s not all about tries it’s how a player influences the game and makes others play around them. As much as I hate Cameron smith he has been the most influential player even tho he’s not the flashiest or scored the most tries
Try’s do get allot my credit then they deserve but In saying that it’s all about positioning if he wasn’t there there would be none to pass to u know what I mean positioning yourself to be offloaded to and knowing how to be at the right place at the right time is a skill in itself 👌🏼
Being unselfish with the try is much more a part of our sporting culture.
You’ll be looked at very poorly if you forgo passing to an easy try. In order to attempt to add numbers to your own record
You’ll occasionally see star players sharing the tries around to the whole team when they are comfortably leading the score.
Or perhaps you and a team mate break the pack and run the whole field together and there’s no nearby defenders, the player who has more tries that day will most often let the other guy ground it.
But you’ll also see the whole team feed every try to a star player if he’s about to break a record or something.
So yeah it’s preety across the board how we feel about unselfish scoring
Just sick to the AFL brother
Who cares about ruby!!
Peace from Perth Australia 🇦🇺👍👍👍
Best player to ever play fullback. Bar none
One of the best players of all time, best fullback ever no one is even close
Bro react to Jonathon Thurston
i think ive done 2 already, 1 forusre
More about the plays to get to the try
These videos don't do him justice
Team effort
Mel- Born lol
Billy redefined fullbacks
Can you react to William Ryder all time highlights
It’s not Mel-born it’s just Mel-ben
Watch some valentine homes won’t regret it
React to Greg Inglis
Brett Mullins was a better fullback in my opinion. He just didn't play with all the superstars Slater did. Slater was still an amazing player though. Its "Rugby League"
dude not Rugby.
Can react to nrl impossible tries
it is a team sport, not a one star sport, sorry but that tends to be the difference between Australian team sport and American team sport. Here if you try that "I am the star player" rubbish, you will have that knocked out of you by either the coach, your team mates or the Aussie public. We have what is called the "tall poppy" syndrome here, basically don't get a big head or it will get knocked off very quickly
This video is a very poor effort with terrible angels to show how good he actually was.
