Stat Attack: Ramsey shows he can make fist of Red V fullback chance

Dragons young gun Cody Ramsey won't have any dramas adjusting to the workload of a full-time fullback if his latest Telstra Tracker results are anything to go by.

The 21-year-old speedster will get a shot in the No.1 jersey in Friday's local derby against the Sharks due to Matt Dufty's shoulder injury.

Despite playing 11 of his 12 NRL games on the wing, Ramsey has been touted as a long-term custodian and his effort in a 44-18 Magic Round loss to the Storm showed he's got ample stamina and speed.

Ramsey topped the high-speed metres (20km/h or more) category with 884 ahead of Broncos pair Corey Oates (757) and Herbie Farnworth as well as St George Illawarra teammate Jack Bird (738).

In the speed stakes, Ramsey finished fourth with a best of 34.5km/h. Farnworth (36.5km/h) and Brisbane winger Xavier Coates (36) set a hot pace ahead of Storm flyer Josh Addo-Carr (35.3).

And when it came to total distance, only Panthers halfback Nathan Cleary (9.71km) covered more ground than Molong boy Ramsey (9.55) with Eels debutant Jakob Arthur (9.41) in third spot.

Another rookie, Sam Walker, posted the fourth-most kilometres (9.26) just in front of his halves partner Lachlan Lam (9.21).

The only leaderboard that didn't feature Ramsey in the top five was that of the relative distance (metres per minute) category.

That was topped by Tricolours forward Daniel Suluka-Fifita (140m/min), but he achieved it in under three minutes of game time.

Knights hooker Jayden Brailey finished back in 13th position but his average of 94m/min came over 72 minutes on the park.

Sea Eagles and Titans players weren't included in this week's data because of respective GPS and processing issues.
