Quote ="Royston-Vasey"but lewis jones was a try scorer was he not which is something that sinfield isnt, can anyone tell me how many tries jones scored compared to how many sinfield has now? at the end of the day neither record can me detracted from but SIR Kev is a modern day legend!'"
Lewis scored 1,244 goals, meaning 2488 points out of a total of 2920. That leaves 432 points from tries, at 3 points per try that's 144 tries.
I think Sir Kev's scored 68 tries, so that's 76 less than Lewis. Of course, all of Lewis' goals were worth 2 points, including drops, but there's no record of the breakdown there, so it makes direct comparisons pretty much impossible.
Oh, and a huge congratulation to Sir Kev, it'll be nice to say in years to come that I was there when the record fell and it's been a honour to watch him over the years
