What constitutes a carry? Is a carry only a carry if the carrier is tackled? If so, why don’t the carries of one team equal the tackles of the opposing team? I accept offloading comes into it but I can’t understand Saints having 96 first half carries but the roosters making many more tackles.
Apologies for my ignorance.

Every carry counts
But each tackler that is involved in the tackle get one.
So I would guesstimate average 2 tackles per carry I.e. dou keep the tackles to the Carries
