Well done Sinfield, LEGEND!

Well done Kevin, still plenty of points left in him

It will be a very very long time before anyone gets near to his various records

What a total legend! Sir Kev!

Well done Sir Kevin, living legend, ultimate pro, total class act.

Records are there to be broken but I believe it's entirely appropriate that this one was achieved in a low-intensity, stroll-in-the-park fixture against a team like Salford. Well done Kevin Sinfield.

Start another trolling thread where people might want to hear your whining about SL.

Congratulations Kevin.

Congrats Kevin, been a pleasure watching you and hope you continue this record but score no more points past us

Sinfield's try was his 50th in the SL Regular Rounds and he becomes the 14th Leeds player to do so.

Although Lewis Jones played his final game for the Leeds club at Headingley V Halifax on the 30th March 1964 he had already scored his final points for the club in a game at Knowsley Road V St Helens on the 22d February 1964 - coincidentally Leeds' first victory at that ground for 17 years.

Using the date of his final points rather than his final appearance the Leeds player points scoring record has stood for just over 48 years or 17,555 days.

Jones' total of 2,920 was made up of 144 (3 point) Tries and 1,244 (2 point) Goals amassed over 385 Appearances.

Sinfield's current total of 2,925 is made up of 68 (4 point) Tries, 1,313 (2 point) Goals and 27 Drop Goals amassed over 406 Appearances (including 27 made from the bench)

Congratulation Kevin. a true great of yer Leeds club and the sport.

Does that mean that in 139 more point time he will have scored more points than Jones would have in the modern scoring system.

You can't quite do that because you don't know how many drop goals (then worth 2 points) Jones scored - they were all just recorded as goals. What you could do is work out Sinfield's tally in 'old money' by adding a point to every drop goal and taking off a point for every try (then worth 3 points). A bit OTT to be honest.

ah I see. didn't know the drop goals bit

Good to see the BBC give a toss on their teletext.

The headline and main story is Nick Scruton's injury. Sir Kev's achievement doesn't warrant a mention.

Sinfield is on 2884 by the old system then i think?

There will probably be a full interview or something over the next day or two. Stop being so precious.

Well done Kevin. It is entirely appropriate that he should be the one to overtake the record set by one of our greatest legends. I hope Lewis is able to present some memento to Kevin at a future home game. I have been privileged to witness many of the points scored by both players who apart from their class on the field are/were unassuming role models off the field.

No, quite frankly.

Happy now?

The BBC website says he is one in front of Lewis Jones, but I thought it was three?

Isn't it now 5?
I feel privileged to have watched Kevin since he was (briefly) in the academy.
Having seen his 1st ever appearance in the 1st team I was chuffed to be there last night when he broke the record.
Thanks to him for everything, especially the game winning goals in tight games.
He proves that good guys can come top.

If the Rhinos handbook is right, last night was also a record win for Leeds away at Salford.

Lewis Jones was my boyhood idol ,and the words from Juan summed up my thoughts.Whatever way you look at the two achievements,like as mac said yesterday Kevin didn't over kicking duties till 2003,both are proud records for both legends and the club

The 16-=#0000BF56 is a Leeds record score away at Salford.

The Leeds record winning margin at Salford was set in 2004 with a 0-=#0000BF44 win.

TVOC, the YEP mentions that we last lost away at Salford in 1993 in a Regal Trophy match. I would have been there, but can't for the life of me remember it. Can you provide match details please?

Have many players have scored a try on each of their first three appearances?
