From left to right: Alex Walmsley (St Helens), Lachie Miller (Leeds Rhinos) and Tesi Niu (Leigh Leopards) are all among Super League's top metre-makers in 2025

Whether it’s through a clean break or a tough carry, every metre made can prove valuable in getting a side up the field and towards the opposition’s try-line.

With just three rounds and 18 games left of the ‘regular’ season, here’s a look at how the list of Super League‘s ten players with the most metres made in 2025 currently stands…

N.B. Only metres made in league games count – Those recorded in other competitions, including the Challenge Cup, are discounted.

10. Peta Hiku (Hull KR) – 2,870

Just as it was last year, Hiku’s presence has been huge for KR last year and he has played a pivotal role in the success they have tasted in 2025. The Robins are on their way to a double and are dreaming of more.

9. Alex Walmsley (St Helens) – 2,968

The only forward in this list is veteran Walmsley, who has taken more than a fair share of criticism this year in what has been – in our opinion – a tremendous campaign for him personally on the whole. Yet to miss a game, he has made more than 123 metres made per match on average.

8. Lewis Martin (Hull FC) – 2,971

Young winger Martin is top of the competition’s try-scoring chart, and makes it into the top ten for metres, too. He has been a breath of fresh air since arriving into the Hull side, but has really rubber-stamped his spot this season. The speedster is another who is yet to miss a game this term.

7. Tesi Niu (Leigh) – 3,061

What a signing Niu has proven to be for Leigh, perhaps even the best Super League signing of 2025! The Tonga international is an absolute wrecking ball, and his strength has helped him to get over the try-line six times while averaging more than 139 metres per game with the ball in hand. Exceptional viewing.

6. Matt Dufty (Warrington) – 3,120

Ever since arriving in Super League, Dufty has been right at the top of the ranking for metres made. We’re sure he’d have been even higher than this in 2025 but for the time he spent out of Sam Burgess’ side recently due to an internal disciplinary matter.

5. Tristan Sailor (St Helens) – 3,152

Sailor was Saints’ off-season recruit and struggled to bed in at first, but after doing so, he has been among their standout performers this season. Thrust into a number of different roles by Paul Wellens, one constant has always remained: his ability to make metres.

4. Bailey Hodgson (Leigh) – 3,331

Even Hodgson himself probably didn’t expect to play as much as he has done this year, but he has been absolutely tremendous for Leigh, filling the void left by David Armstrong’s absence at full-back. Young Englishman Hodgson has averaged an absolutely eye-watering 175 metres per game across his 19 Super League appearances.

3. Tom Davies (Hull KR) – 3,345

Robins winger Davies has been immense since arriving at Craven Park ahead of 2025, doing everything you want a winger to do, and writing his name into the history books with the winning try at Wembley in the Challenge Cup final. In Super League alone, he has made more than 150 metres per game, on average.

2. Liam Marshall (Wigan) – 3,409

It’s taken Marshall longer than usual to get going this term with regards to scoring tries, but his ability to make metres has never been questioned. The Wigan ace turned 29 in May, and looks like he could play on for another ten years. Almost 155 metres per game on average having missed just two matches all year.

1. Lachie Miller (Leeds) – 3,776

No one has come close to Leeds full-back Miller, whose star quality has really come to the fore this year in his first full season working under Brad Arthur. The Australian didn’t feature in Super League until Round 5 through injury, but quickly found his groove and has averaged over 188 metres per game. Utterly remarkable.
