Ah, a trick now known as a "Bentley" after a particularly fine example at a not at all crucial time of a game at Wilderspool...

They're none too popular with GCH and his friends either.

The Wakefield result was Leeds' 300th win since the start of the summer era.

Leeds - Summer Era - All Comps

Played 451, Won 300, Drawn 9, Lost 142, Pts For 13380, Pts Agst 9085 (Avg Scr 30-20) 68%

Kevin Sinfield is closing in on a 1,000 goals for Leeds. He currently stands on 965 + 19 DG's - Total 984

He will become only the second player in the club's history to pass the mark along with Lewis Jones whose total stands at 1,244.

Rob Burrow's second try was Leeds' 100th of the season.

As flagged up earlier in the thread (Page 12) Burrow now needs one try to become the first Leeds player of the SL Era to score 100 tries and more than 100 goals in the SL Regular Rounds.

Currently he has:

Played 152 + 61 (+ 1 NPS) Tries 99, Goals 102, Drop Goals 2, Points 602

That will complete his hat trick of firsts for Leeds (in the SL Era) of passing the 100 tries and 100 goals in All Comps, in all SL matches Inc Play Offs, in SL Regular Rounds.

Ali Lauitiiti's next game for Leeds will mark his 150th Appearance for the club.

At the moment he shares 13th spot on the Leeds list with fellow Samoan Willie Poching. The 12 players ahead of them are all UK born making them jointly the highest placed overseas players to represent Leeds in the SL Era.

All good stuff, but do you have a record of how many times the South Stand sung 'that song' about Andy Gregory - the song that featured a mere five different words?

bonus for 10 - how many times was it then sung to Shaun Edwards?

Having never actually attended a Leeds game such things have passed me by. I'm sure it was hilarious though.

Good week this one.

The next Start will be Kevin Sinfield's 300th for the club.

He will become only the second player to reach the mark in the SL Era after Keith Senior got there away at Les Catalans recently.

It seemed to be tailor-made for Wigan players.

It went from Gregory, to Edwards, to Farrell.

Minor details

That's what this thread is all about.

It's not like this week's OPTA where Brent Webb didn't get sin-binned.

This thread is reality or at least tries to be.

Alright don't stick the boot in aswell!!

Sometimes it's deserved - in OPTA's case.

They really are a "thorn in your side" aren't they tvoc??

It would be better for me if they didn't lose credibility quite so often.

Now that Lauitiiti has become the most played overseas signing for Leeds of the SL Era I thought I'd do a top ten (eleven).

I am a little surprised at how many games Chris McKenna, the prince of centres, played for us. In my memory, he was only here for a coupl of seasons.

03, 04 & 05

Didn't realize Ali had played that many.

Ridiculous how many games Jamie Mathiou got.

Webbs try scoring record is pretty impressive.

Three times as many from the bench is about right for old splinter ar5e.

Some players work better from the bench. Poching and Ali fall into that category. Others start better

Mathiou probably falls into neither category.

It's hard to think of another import who's managed so many games whilst remaining so mediocre.

If coaches of the calibre of Murray picked him he must have had something to offer - never saw it myself

Inexpensive, decent work rate, sound defender, didn't make many handling errors.

The sort of player you need in any side at any level.

IMO got unfairly criticised because people were expecting him to smash people around the park like Farrell and Fleary were doing.

Probably like Bailey, JJB, etc, but wasnt part of such a sucessful team, so didn't get much recognition
