Recognise the name/era of all the top 12 but the one I know least about is Stan Smith. When did he play for Leeds?

A bit before our time.

Stan Smith was signed from Wakefield in 1930 and played for Leeds until his retirement in 1939. In all he made 261 appearances, scoring 187 tries. He played on the opposite flank to the great Eric Harris.

I guess they were the equivalent of our Smith and Atky.

that 30s side was arguably the first great era ,but they just could not win the holy grail .
the championship

Indeed before my time and I guess as you say rather like our Smith and Atky.

thx

It's been a while but Danny McGuire has finally got the points he needed to move up to fourth on the Leeds point scoring list of the SL Era.

1 = Kevin Sinfield 2,055 Pts
2 = Iestyn Harris 1,455 Pts
3 = Rob Burrow 726 Pts
4 = Danny McGuire 614 Pts
5 = Francis Cummins 612 Pts

Brian McClennan's Leeds reached the 1,000 point barrier (33 games) in the SL Regular Rds at St Helens. The only Leeds coach to fall short of the mark was Dean Lance with 806 over his 32 SL Reg Rd games in charge.

Keith Senior now needs two tries to become the second Leeds player to pass 150 tries for the club in the SL Era. Danny McGuire tops the list at present with 153.

Jamie Peacock needs to make two more appearances to join the Leeds 100 club. When it happens he will become the 26th player to reach the mark.

cheers tvoc ive missed the old milestone groan bit.

Sorry about that, it's been a bit quiet on the obvious milestone front and I haven't had the energy or mindset to go after the more obscure.

tvoc - out of interest, how many tries did John Holmes score for Leeds? In some book I read I'm sure it said about 150, but he's not on the top try scorers list.

While ignoring my update on page 10.



I missed John Holmes in error. No escaping that fact. He was one of the players that fell between Ken Dalby's Headingley Stories and my own manual records (that are still to transfer onto computer)

John HolmesJohn Holmes - 154
Danny McGuire - 153
Keith Senior - 148
Garry Schofield - 147
Lewis Jones - 144

Back on the milestone trail.

Jamie Peacock's next game will be his 100th Appearance for Leeds and he'll become the 26th player to reach the mark during the SL Era.

[sizeEarly warnings for Danny McGuire (200 in 4 - 7th player) and Keith Senior (300 in 7 - 2nd player) [/size

Ryan Bailey's next Appearance will be his 150th in the SL Regular Rounds and he'll become the 9th Leeds player to reach the mark.

Last year's original figures are from page 7 rlhererlabout half way down.

They were correct then. When I quoted that post I inadvertently changed a few of the figures when posting the update. I realised what I had done and tried to change tham all back but obviously I missed that one. Well spotted.

In light of Andrew Farrell's recent announcement, here is his primary claim to fameTop Points Scorers V Leeds (SL Era All Games):
