End thread.

Some chips on shoulders that would make McCain's proud.

A fantastic achievement that sadly won't get the recognition it deserves.

Currently 41 and still going. Also contrary to what some are saying, a lot of them have been from out wide.

Well done Finny, let's have a few more next week

Great achievement indeed. Will take some beating.

He kicked some decent goals tonight, and what was better is it was in very windy conditions.

awesome!

TBF playing in a lower league may mean more blow out scores (and if you look at how he got the record this would suggest the case) meaning kicking them over fewer games and maybe more near the sticks in walk over games, but great achievement all the same.

They probably are easier

Tougher, harder more tiring games in the NRL. Bigger crowds, probably more pressure

As the pitches in the lower leagues are a mess the kicks will be harder.

And don't forget, in the NRL they put live cane toads inside the ball so it's harder to get a straight trajectory. EL-Masri used to talk quietly to the cane toads as he put the ball on the kicking tee. We'd never have the foresight to do that - that's why we don't put toads in our balls and that's why it was so easy for Finn.

I heard their even forced to lick the toads, or I think that was Johns said.
