Paul Dixon was the best ball-stealer I've seen, both for and against Leeds.

Quite correct , what's more he used to do it on a regular basis.
If my memory serves me well, I believe he was a farmer from out Halifax way.

TVOC - I miss your regular updates and stats on here! So to give you some work to do...

Did Sinfield end the year in 5th place in the all time points scoring list? And I am I right in thinking he'll move into 4th in leeds appearances in2014, injuries permitting?

Re: Leeds Approaching Milestones : Thu Jan 09, 2014 3:35 pm  

According to this year's handbook, Sinfield is 5th in the all-time scorers chart with 3690.

3rd and 4th are both in reach, being Risman with 4050 and Woods with 3985. He's no chance of 2nd, which is Sullivan with 6022.

TVOC may have different figures. The Yearbook isn't always accurate.

Yes, 3rd is clearly as high as he will go. I'd go as far as saying those top two will never be caught. It is highly unlikely

This thread is being sadly neglected this year!

Off the top of my head we've missed JP's 500th game, Burrow's 400th game, McGuire's 200th try and Sinfield reaching another point milestone (not exactly sure what).

We should be celebrating these milestones as it may be any years before a core of players ever achieve such things together again.

I believe Ablett, Hall and Kirke have all hit the 200 game mark and Watkins the 100 mark so far this season. Sinfield passed the 3,500 point mark (currently 3,556)

Upcoming,
Bailey 300 games (currently 298 so could be vs Wigan next Friday)
Peacock 250 for Leeds (currently 236)
Hardaker 100 (currently 89)
Burrow is on 977 points

A bit further back and probably next season
McGuire 350 (currently 329)
Sinfield 500 (currently 474)


These are from the Leeds Rhinos website so other people might have different figures.

I wonder if Sinfield will get to second in the appearance list behind John Holmes? I think Fred Webster is on 543.He would need two seasons after this one

Re: Leeds Approaching Milestones : Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:37 am  

By my reckoning, Sinny's 12 points yesterday puts him on 3800 career points.

4th place in the all-time list is certainly within reach this season.

A rare RL article in this weeks Sunday Times features Leeds and is headed "Senior servants stimulate Leeds" It was all about the "golden generation" at Leeds continuing to set records. It mentioned JP's career 500th & Rob Burrow's 400th, Sinny's passing 3500 points, McGuire notching up his 250th try. It had quotes from the key players and from coach Brian McDermott who cited the importance of long-serving conditioner Jason Davidson and physio Andy Barker.
