Obviously there's variation on this, but the props are realistically only taking the ball in 1/2 tackles a set. I exclude Walmsley because he is (generally) the only prop who might be involved in those halfback plays. This can be seen as Walmsley made over double the metres of Lees. That doesnt mean Lees hasnt been effective in his role, its just that his role isnt around taking the ball up 2/3 times a set, same as Knowles.
