Re: Leeds Approaching Milestones : Fri May 17, 2013 5:19 pm  

With thanks to A-Fire-Inside we have the following : (As referenced incorrectly by Eddie Hemmings at the Bradford game.)

Danny McGuire needs three tries to reach 250 for his career.

McGuire has touched down 229 times for Leeds since 2001, and has also scored representative tries for Great Britain (5 Test & 2 Non-Test, 2004 & 2006-2007), England (4, 2008-2009), England 'A' (2, 2002-2003) and England Under-21s (5, 2001).

As well as tries scored, McGuire has kicked one goal for Great Britain (2006 Tri-Nations, against New Zealand) and three field goals for Leeds, leaving him needing seven points for a career total of 1,000.

__________

Ryan Hall Needs 1 try for 150 for Leeds in All Comps while Kallum Watkins needs 1 for 50.

Leeds' SL Era Top Try-Scorers:

1 - Danny McGuire 229
2 - Keith Senior 171
3 - Rob Burrow 153
4 - Ryan Hall 149
5 - Francis Cummins 136 (188 Leeds total - including pre SL career)
...

17 - Willie Poching 51
18 - Andy Hay 50
19 - Kallum Watkins 49

Re: Leeds Approaching Milestones : Mon Jul 01, 2013 8:54 pm  

Each of our players from one to seven (positionally) scored a try yesterday. When did that last happen?

Re: Leeds Approaching Milestones : Wed Jul 03, 2013 8:23 pm  

From a comment made on SKY - it appears the last (and possibly only previous) time it has happened in SL was the 8th August 1999 when Wigan defeated Huddersfield at the McAlpine Stadium 60 points to 10.

Wigan's backs lined up :

Kris Radlinski
Jason Robinson, Gary Connolly, Danny Moore, Paul Johnson
Greg Florimo, Tony Smith

All the above scored a try each bar Smith who bagged a brace.
(Gavin Clinch came off the bench and also scored a try.)

A one-on-one ball steal under the sticks no doubt.

Ah yes, 'Clinch the pinch'

Always fun to watch when that happens - unless it's against your own team - nah it's still funny even then.

Re: Leeds Approaching Milestones : Thu Jul 04, 2013 12:02 pm  

He was good, but no Ryan Sheridan.

Just ask Danny Peacock.

Didn't Mike Kuiti once nick one from Paul Harkin from a scrum at HQ? I remember finding that one very funny. I loathed Harkin, even (possibly especially) when he played for us.

Re: Leeds Approaching Milestones : Thu Jul 04, 2013 4:03 pm  

That's correct, it was Kuiti's first try in the blue and amber. It came on his Leeds debut (Jan 1990) where he scored two and set Norman Francis up for the other in a MOTM performance highlighting the 13 - 8 win. The ball steal/intercept was down the blind side at a scrum as Harking tried to get Graham Mackay into his stride when Kuiti popped up with ball in hand to go over in the North-West corner with the Bradford scrum-half left chasing shadows.

Seven days earlier Harkin had ruled Headingley in a Challenge Cup Preliminary round victory over Leeds and was a regular pain in Leeds' side most notably when turning out for Bradford or Hull KR - the trip on Tony Currie at Elland Road aside - and we still couldn't beat them.
