No its completely different. After a kick or charge down, there is no longer an advantage line because its a brand new set of six tackles. I'll give you that its a bit of a grey area as the player returning the ball will sometimes get easy yards but they are still metres gained in the set of six tackles. Passing the ball backwards 10 metres to a player who only runs 8 metres on the 3rd tackle is quite clearly not 8 metres gained and recording the stats in this way is quite simply crazy. You could have a player losing 2 metres from the advantage line every carry but being awarded 8 metres gained and another player that actually makes 5 metres over the advantage line every carry from flat balls and the player who lost 2 metres on every carry will have a higher metres gained stat at the end of the match.
