Colin Whitfield once got sin binned for taking so long to take a goal kick!

I hope that was by his brother.......

Now he's alright

Was it not Darren Abram (or poss. Terzis) who was saying that the clock should stop when the try is given and restarted when they KO again - thought it was good idea myself but it could 'extend' the game too much??

I believe it was

but not 100% sure.

Colin Tyrer took longer than anyone else I can remember and I'm not sure they stopped the clock in those days.

You don't see many players kicking penalties to touch from the floor these days do you, i remember Topping and Andy Ruane Doing it, its a good time waster and within the rules!!

Well done Mick for getting himself in to the top ten points scorers of all time, though I didn't realise until reading the official website that it means Jimmy Ledgard is displaced from tenth place!

Does anyone know who is in ninth spot and how points ahead of Mick they are?

I'd like to be able to access this info too, being a bit of a statto gike and use the info for an artilcle maybe.

I've tried finding this but to no avail ,been on various rugby sites that give stats but couldn't find the top 10 points scorers

Yes all you get is Super League this and Super League that , bloody annoying

Like i wrote earlier the RFL statistician e mailed our Dave last week, but if people do not believe me then....

We believe you Fred. I don't suppose he provided Dave with a comprehensive list of the top ten?

Not doubting that bit Fred...we're wanting to find out how many more points he needs to pinch ninth spot!

It just bemuses me that while the RFL stats man can e-mail the facts why oh why can they not been added to all the other stats you can read on the RFL site ! Come on Mr stats man get it on the web site

99 to catch Andy Farrell

He'll manage that within half a dozen games.

Don't know about that - we're not due to play Widnes again for a while!

No only that Mick required what he got, he is apparently still compiling the full stats.

Not sure who's top but it could be Neil Fox with over 4000 and Jim Sullivan may be second,again with over 4000. The third is, i think, John Woods who scored 3985. I guess Ledgard must have scored approx 3240 points during his career, which puts Mick around this total as well with a couple of years left. Do not have any ides who the others are in the top ten.

Do the scores take into consideration 3 or 4 points per try?

Neil Fox has 6220 points
Jim Sullivan has 6022 points

3 points per try and 2 per drop goal apart from about 4 1point drop goals by Fox.
Thanks Lord Lobby as I was unsure about how many points Fox and Sulivan amassed

Kel Coslett will be in top 10 somewhere with at least 3500 - not sure on exact figure.
