I'm never sure which games are included and excluded in the SL records found dotted around the internet and the ones that I see are rarely maintained up to date either but it would be interesting to see the totals for the likes of Andy Farrell, Paul Deacon, Lee Briers, Sean Long and Kevin Sinfield to see how they compare these days.

Here's a little gem I've noted for Sinfield though. His next successful conversion or penalty will be his 1,000 two pointer in the SL Regular Rounds + SL Play-Offs.

SL Regular Rounds - 936
SL Play-Offs - 63

__________

The next SL Play-Off Try will be Leeds' 100th
The next SL Play-Off Goal will also be Leeds' 100th

Saturday will be Leeds' 500th game of the SL Era.

Played 499, Won 333, Drawn 10, Lost 156, Pts For 14745, Pts Agst 10060, Avg Scr (30-20), 68%

__________

Ben Jones-Bishop's next appearance will be his 10th for Leeds at 1st Grade level, presumably earning him the next unique number issued by the club, 727 (?)

Incidentally this could be the third consecutive season that a Leeds player makes his qualifying appearance at the Halliwell Jones following on from Kallum Watkins (719) in 2009 and Jay Pitts (723) in 2010. Lee Smith also earned his number (703) at the same venue, this time in 2005.

Should Rob Burrow play today it will be his 300th 1st grade Appearance for the club, becoming only the third player to do so for Leeds during the SL Era.

Kevin Sinfield - 368
Keith Senior - 354
Rob Burrow - 299

_____________

At the same time Kevin Sinfield (should he play) will be making his 300th SL Regular Round Appearance for the club and will become the first Leeds player to do so.

Kevin Sinfield - 299
Keith Senior - 288
Rob Burrow - 244

__________

Last week (V Salford) Leeds became the 1st club during the SL Era to record 100 consecutive five figure crowds for the SL Regular Round fixtures.

The last time it dipped below was when 8,231 attended the Leeds V London Broncos game on the 25th July 2003.

(That was the only occasion in the last 114 home SL Regular Round fixtures that the five figure standard was missed at Headingley. That run of fixtures started on the 10th August 2002.)

Is it a sign of our season so far that not much interesting is happening on this thread?

Or are you too busy compiling the fabulouss stats threads every week?

As I'm too lazy to research it (and I know how much you love to show off your knowlege!) could you tell me how many points Sinfield is behind Jones now? Is it next season he would be expected to break the record?

he explained a little while ago

Teletext menjtioned that tonight's game is Ryan Hall's 100th for Leeds.

Can a proper statto confirm this? And provide his points scoring record?

Reading that about hall somewhere is what prompted me to dig up this thread GCH!

There are always interesting things happening when you're a statto.



Not too busy generally with the Opta threads, although they do take care of my Monday mornings most weeks once the SL website is updated.



Show off, moi.

Lewis Jones' Leeds total points record stands at 2,920 - made up of 144 (3 point) Tries and 1,244 Goals. Kevin Sinfield currently stands on 2,602 points - made up of 66 (4 point) Tries, 1,155 Goals + 26 Drop Goals.

At his current scoring rate of 7.9 points a game this season it will take him another 40/41 Appearances to knock the remaining 318 off to equal the record as it stands. He therefore remains (injuries permitting) on target to surpass the record sometime during the second half of 2012.

A proper statto would know that Rob Burrow was closing in on a 1,000 career points. Apparently he currently stands on 997, alas I had to be informed of this milestone via a PM this week from a proper statto.

Re-Ryan Hall they are correct. If he plays tonight he will be making his 100th Appearance for Leeds. He will become the 32nd player to do so during the SL Era.

His Leeds try tally of 82 places him 8th on their SL Era list (4 behind a likely opponent tonight who currently sits in 7th)

Diskin right?

Don't mock, Matthew is 20th on the Leeds list having scored 44 more tries for Leeds than anyone on here is ever likely to have done.

Hall one 100 apps,is that 100 starts ?must say it doesnt seem to have took him long

I must try make my trip back home to coincide with when Kev breaks Lewis's record

I've scored 46. [size=50On x-box. Sat on my fat ar[is[/ie in my front room. With cake. [/size

Compared with Mr Buderus impressive 9 tries

Ryan Hall: 97 starts + 2 from the bench.

Coincidentally those two sub appearances were made in games V tonight's opponents.

6th May 2007, Leeds 42 Bradford 38 (Hall Debut), Cardiff, Millenium Magic 1
20th March 2008, Leeds 44 Bradford 2 (Hall played second-row from the bench)

In how many appearances?

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Diskin will still win the stat, I'm just saying, 10 years worth of tries is obviously going to look much more impressive as a stand alone figure.

For Leeds -

Danny Buderus: 10 Tries in 57 Appearances, Scoring Rate 0.175 per game
Matt Diskin: 44 Tries in 264 Appearances, Scoring Rate 0.167 per game

Kinda makes Charlie Brown look a bit silly that doesn't it.

Ooops!

Considering they have similar scoring ratios yet Buderus is lauded over while Diskin remains unappreciated I’d consider them stats to show Buderus shouldn’t be lauded at all and we should question why spend so much for someone how merely maintained the status quo (apart from the winning titles aspect which he’s failed to do so far)

Oh yipee... another Diskin/Buderus debate. And it's not even my birthday until tomorrow!!



I take, and gracefully accept your point. Moving on.

I kindly accept your resignation

If Danny McGuire plays at Castleford on Friday he'll become the 7th player to make 250 SL Era Appearances for the club. (Of the top 10 on the appearance list, 7 are still under contract at Leeds this season.)

Brent Webb needs four points to become the 13th Leeds player to register 300 points for the club during the SL Era. Kevin Sinfield (the only forward in the top 15) obviously leads the points list with 2,622 - now within 300 of the mark set by Lewis Jones.

When Sir Kevin gets very close to breaking the record, say within 30, some kind of countdown banners would be good.

If we could Rachel Riley involved somehow, it'd be even better.

It would only take a few seconds for a man of tvoc's ability to just stick two lines at the bottom of the Opta thread every week.

Lewis Jones - 3300 (whatever it is!?)
Kevin Sinfield - 3200 (whatever he's on now?!)


Edit - just noticed you quote the Sinfield figure in the post above and say it's within 300!



Jones - 2,900 (ish?)
Sinfield - 2,622

Who is 'Mr Buderus impressive 9 tries' ?

On the other hand Mr Buderus' impressive 9 tries should be measured against his massive more impressive contributions in other areas.
