brill, i hope the new website is half as good as your stats

I've got mixed feelings about the 'in depth' stats promised on the new site.

On the one hand it will be good to have a resource to cross reference against (and I've always said the club should have such a resource online.)

But on the other

The discrepancies will do my crust in and fill my head with doubts that are not there at present.

I'd still stick with the tvoc infallibility.

'And lo, tvoc spoke and his stats were correct'

From the book of Ronnie Chapter 6 verse 14

Why not send your CV in mate?

Does this now make McGuire a bigger hero and legend than what Schoey was??

L4L doesn't post on here anymore



Well not under that name anyway!

Well certainly not under a Steve Coogan alias anyway!!!!

I was looking for a bite

Recognise the name/era of all the top 12 but the one I know least about is Stan Smith. When did he play for Leeds?

A bit before our time.

Stan Smith was signed from Wakefield in 1930 and played for Leeds until his retirement in 1939. In all he made 261 appearances, scoring 187 tries. He played on the opposite flank to the great Eric Harris.

I guess they were the equivalent of our Smith and Atky.

that 30s side was arguably the first great era ,but they just could not win the holy grail .
the championship

Indeed before my time and I guess as you say rather like our Smith and Atky.

thx

Just a gentle nudge post the WCC match.

Danny McGuire now needs 7 points to move into 4th on the Leeds points scorer list of the SL Era and should his partner in crime play it will indeed be his 200th Appearance. Somewhat fitting if he plays as it will be in the same town as he made his full debut in Daryl Powell's first game in charge.

It's been a while but Danny McGuire has finally got the points he needed to move up to fourth on the Leeds point scoring list of the SL Era.

1 = Kevin Sinfield 2,055 Pts
2 = Iestyn Harris 1,455 Pts
3 = Rob Burrow 726 Pts
4 = Danny McGuire 614 Pts
5 = Francis Cummins 612 Pts

Brian McClennan's Leeds reached the 1,000 point barrier (33 games) in the SL Regular Rds at St Helens. The only Leeds coach to fall short of the mark was Dean Lance with 806 over his 32 SL Reg Rd games in charge.

Keith Senior now needs two tries to become the second Leeds player to pass 150 tries for the club in the SL Era. Danny McGuire tops the list at present with 153.

Jamie Peacock needs to make two more appearances to join the Leeds 100 club. When it happens he will become the 26th player to reach the mark.

cheers tvoc ive missed the old milestone groan bit.

Sorry about that, it's been a bit quiet on the obvious milestone front and I haven't had the energy or mindset to go after the more obscure.

tvoc - out of interest, how many tries did John Holmes score for Leeds? In some book I read I'm sure it said about 150, but he's not on the top try scorers list.

While ignoring my update on page 10.



I missed John Holmes in error. No escaping that fact. He was one of the players that fell between Ken Dalby's Headingley Stories and my own manual records (that are still to transfer onto computer)

John Holmes:
Headingly Story Volume 2 (1978-79) - 109
1979-80 - 4
1980-81 - 5
1981-82 - 12
1982-83 - 6
1983-84 - 12
1984-85 - 1
1986-87 - 4
1987-88 - 1

Total 154

Updated top 13 this time: (Again cobbled together so subject to alteration)

Eric Harris - 391
John Atkinson - 340
Alan Smith - 283
Drew Turnbull - 228
Les Dyl - 193
Francis Cummins - 188
Stan Smith - 187
Syd Hynes - 158
John Holmes - 154
Danny McGuire - 153
Keith Senior - 148
Garry Schofield - 147
Lewis Jones - 144

Time for the annual update I guess:

Back on the milestone trail.

Jamie Peacock's next game will be his 100th Appearance for Leeds and he'll become the 26th player to reach the mark during the SL Era.

[size=75Early warnings for Danny McGuire (200 in 4 - 7th player) and Keith Senior (300 in 7 - 2nd player) [/size

Ryan Bailey's next Appearance will be his 150th in the SL Regular Rounds and he'll become the 9th Leeds player to reach the mark.

You already had Sinfield on 35, so should that now be 36?

Last year's original figures are from page 7 [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=341569&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=90here[/urlabout half way down.

They were correct then. When I quoted that post I inadvertently changed a few of the figures when posting the update. I realised what I had done and tried to change tham all back but obviously I missed that one. Well spotted.

In light of Andrew Farrell's recent announcement, here is his primary claim to fame:

Top Points Scorers V Leeds (SL Era All Games):

Andrew Farrell Played 26 + 0, Tries 9, Goals 107, DG's 2 Points 252

Sean Long Played 33 + 1, Tries 7, Goals 105, DG's 2 Points 240

Paul Deacon Played 33 + 7, Tries 3, Goals 99, DG's 2 Points 212

Henry Paul Played 27 + 0, Tries 14, Goals 70, DG's 1 Points 197
