How Rugby League works in SkillScorer

Score

Each player in a team is scored on the Rugby League skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.

Compare

Rank players, compare two side by side, or compare your teams against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.

Track

Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Rugby League skills need attention. Reports also follow each coach's team.
