2026 NRL Hooker Hit-Up Metres leaders

Metres gained from hit-up carries. Combined with hit-up volume this shows who wins the middle of the field, and it is a truer measure of forward impact than raw metres because every one of these metres comes against set defence. This page ranks Hooker players for the 2026 season. Current leaders include Brandon Smith, Hohepa Puru, Josese Lanyon.
