Shows what an amazing feat reaching even 3,000 points is.

Some familiar names on that list. Can't remember having heard of Jim Ledgard though, and I must admit when I saw the name Mick Nanyn I thought of the ex-wigan forward rather than the rather 'rotund' lad shown on wikipedia. If swiftcorn gets upset about SL records vs previous eras (barmy really given the nowadays highly improbably longevity of the likes of Sullivan and Risman), I suspect his computer would explode if Nanyn managed to break all records whilst being a NL player.

As demonstrated by Spain having 5 teams left in European competition in comparison to England's 1



Like Sir Kev, Messi is by all accounts a very humble player and thoroughly down to earth lad

--------------------------
Back on topic...


Sir Kev's position in the all time chart really does show what an achievement his record is. Knocking Farrell out of the top 10 should be the next key milestone for me!

Neil Fox scored 4448 points for Wakefield and 6220 career points

Wow!!

whoops

Some illustrious names in that list.
It begs the qustion of how many Sullivan & Gus Risman would have scored but for the second world war.
Though I do know that games continued during the war & presumably points scored still counted in their respective career totals.

And didn't he used to make us sick when he regularly scored for Trinity against us!

Oh!That Trinity Team I used to dread playing against them ,great side,but when we got that win ,last league game before the playoffs and we knew we were top in 1961 at Belle Vue.Next two season they were hammering us again.Yes he used to murder us

6 of Gus Risman's points were for Leeds in the 1942 Challenege Cup Final when he was a guest player for us. Another minor Leeds link, along with Ledgard.

Yet another milestone for Sir Kev against Catalans tomorrow.

450th career appearance!

How close is Sir Kev to hitting 3000 points for Leeds? I reckon he'll be on about 2958?

37 points away by my reckoning...on 2,963

sure tvoc will be along at some point to confirm

Before this season is out he will have made the club points scoring record his own.he will have made up for the differences in scoring i.e the 4 point try.

I wish people would stop mentioning the four point tries without mentioning that it was two points for a drop goal in Lewis Jones' say. As there is no record of just how many drop goals Lewis scored (all goals, drop or otherwise, were just recorded as 'goals' in those days), we will never know how his record would compare to Sir Kevin's.

I only mentioned it because there are still people disputing the record he has already achieved.I agree with you

Ah. Fair enough. Sorry if I sounded a bit snotty.

Job done.

Sinfield: Played 385 + 27, Tries 68, Goals 1332, Drop Goals 27, Points 2,963

Jones: Played 385, Tries 144, Goals 1244, Points 2,920

At this point - as both have now started the same number of 1st grade games for Leeds - by deducting the number of games Jones scored in from his total number of appearances it seems he failed to register any points on some 30 occasions, that compares to 82 (actual count) from Sinfield's Leeds career.

Someone recently suggested that SL Era records should be considered entirely seperately from those attained in the Pre SL Era's. With that in mind here is the comparative breakdowns of Tries scored for consideration:

Lewis Jones - 144

15 - Batley
11 - Warrington
9 - Bradford, Castleford, Hunslet
8 - Dewsbury, Keighley
7 - Bramley, Featherstone, Wakefield
6 - Barrow, Huddersfield
5 - Leigh
4 - Doncaster, Liverpool, Workington, York
3 - Blackpool, Hull KR, St Helens, Wigan
2 - Halifax, Hull, Rochdale, Swinton
1 - Salford

Kevin Sinfield - 68

11 - London/Harlequins
6 - Bradford
5 - Castleford, Hull, Salford, Widnes
4 - Huddersield, Warrington, Wigan
3 - Leigh, Wakefield
2 - Catalans, Featherstone, St Helens, Swinton
1 - Crusaders, Halifax, Hull KR, Whitehaven, Workington

37 points then.4-5 games should do it.

Just to complete the scoring comparison started above:

Goals kicked (including drop goals)

Lewis Jones - 1244

82 - Wakefield
68 - Hull
66 - Dewsbury
64 - Bradford
62 - Keighley
60 - York
58 - Bramley, Castleford
57 - Warrington
55 - Batley
53 - Halifax
49 - Featherstone
48 - Dncaster, Hull KR, Hunslet
41 - Huddersfield
40 - St Helens
34 - Swinton
33 - Leigh
31 - Wigan
29 - Blackpool
28 - Oldham
26 - Workington
23 - Barrow
22 - Liverpool
19 - Rochdale
18 - Salford
13 - Widnes
7 - Australia
4 - Whitehaven

Kevin Sinfield - 1359

133 - St Helens
128 - Wigan
115 - Bradford
113 - London/Harlequins
111 - Wakefield
105 - Warrington
91 - Huddersfield
89 - Castleford
87 - Salford
78 - Catalans
42 - Hull KR
38 - Celtic/Crusaders
29 - Widnes
23 - Halifax
18 - Leigh
17 - Workington
11 - Blackpool
6 - Canterbury
5 - Manly, Melbourne
4- SM Pia
3 - Rochdale

If you 'adjust' Sinfield's points for 3 point tries and 2 point drop goals, he would have 2,922 points - just clear of Jones anyway.

28points tonight for Sinfield.I think he now has 3000 points?

1 short. He needed 29 before tonight.

thanks

Last night's game at Leigh was Jamie Jones-Buchanan's 200th Start for the Leeds club. He becomes the 7th Leeds player to do so during the SL Era:

3 - Francis Cummins 255
4 - Rob Burrow 252
5 - Danny McGuire 237
6 - Matt Diskin 223
7 - Jamie Jones-Buchanan 200

10 - Ryan Bailey 161

Last night was also Ian Kirke and Brent Webb's 150th 1st grade appearances for the club.

As noted Kevin Sinfield now rests on 2,999 points for the club. Last night represents Sinfield's record points haul from a single match (2icon_cool.gif - beating the 26 he collected V Les Catalans in the list below - and it was the 9th occasion he has bagged a brace of tries in a game and the second time he has done so away at Leigh - although the last time was at Hilton Park rather than the Leigh Sports Village.

14th March 1999, CC-QF, Widnes, Away
13th February 2000, CC-04, Featherstone, Away
11th February 2001, CC-04, Swinton, Away

Sinfield came close lastnight to being the highest points scorer in one game.
