Kevin Sinfield took over Henry Paul as the top conversions rate in Superleague appearances last week I believe as Kev is on 36/36 and the record was 35/35?

Kevin Sinfield is on 27/27 in all competitive competitions i believe.

If Ryan Hall or Danny McGuire score tonight they'll be the first player/s to have score 4 tries in WCC Finals.

McGuire in 2005 - 2009 - 2010
Hall in 2009 - 2012 (2)

WCC Appearances

Watkins - 3
Vickery - 0
Ablett - 3
Moon - 0
Hall - 3
Sinfield - 5
McGuire - 5
Leuluai - 4
Burrow - 5
Peacock - 6 (2 with Bradford)
JJB - 5
Delaney - 2
Ward - 0
Clarkson - 1
McShane - 1
Kirke - 2 ......(for all you Kirkey haters, both games we lost)
Achurch - 0
Moore - 0
Keinhorst - 0

I think there are quite a few over 400 right now Especially some of those who played in the 60s and 70s they weren't hampered by two world wars like their predecessors.I think if kevin plays another 3 seasons including this he should hit 500

Sorry for the delay in responding.

With one huge caveat in that the following table is drawn from a combination of the Headingley Story Volume 2 and my own records collected since the 1979/80 season ....... It appears that tonight Kevin Sinfield could go Kevin Sinfield 441
8 - Ray Batten 434
9 - Les Dyl 432
10 - Evan Williams 415

With regard to Keith Senior and Rob Burrow (subject to confirmation) I have them 19th and 20th respectfully but they will shortly be changing places as Burrow is only two behind Senior prior to tonight's game.

From tvoc's list above, it's not unreasonable to speculate that Sinfield will end up 2nd or 3rd on that list.
A fantastic achivement given the reduction in the regular number of games now played per season.

think Sinfield is out of contract at end of 2014.If he stay's on he should over take Atky or maybe Fred Webster

Time for a progress update -

1 Neil Fox (Wakefield/Bradford/Hull KR/York/Bramley/Huddersfield, 1956-79) 6,220
2 Jim Sullivan (Wigan, 1921-46) 6,022
3 Gus Risman (Salford/Workington/Batley, 1929-54) 4,050
4 John Woods (Leigh/Warrington/Bradford/Rochdale, 1976-92) 3,985
5 Cyril Kellett (Hull KR/Featherstone, 1956-74) 3,686
6 Kel Coslett (St Helens/Rochdale, 1962-79) 3,545
7 Kevin Sinfield (Leeds, 1997-present) 3,523
8 Mick Nanyn (Swinton/Rochdale/Whitehaven/Widnes/Oldham/Leigh, 1999-2011) 3,514
9 Lewis Jones (Leeds, 1952-64) 3,445
10 Steve Quinn (York/Featherstone, 1970-8icon_cool.gif 3,438


__________

Brett Delaney's next Appearance will be his 100th for Leeds in All Comps - likewise his next start will be his 100th in All Comps as he has yet to be named on the substitutes bench.

He will become the 33rd player to do so with Leeds during the SL Era in terms of 100 Appearances and 26th player to do so in terms of Starts. If he starts in his next game though he will become only the 3rd Leeds player to make his first 100 Appearances without ever been named on the bench along the way to the landmark - following in the footsteps of Gareth Ellis and Scott Donald. Ellis made his first 106 appearances in the run-on side before starting a game from the bench while Donald played out his entire 145 game Leeds career without ever gracing the plastic seats/wooden benches at kick-off.

__________

The next try scored by a team facing Leeds will be the 2,000th Leeds have conceded during the SL Era.

In terms of the highest try scoring players when facing Leeds the top ten of the SL Era are:

22 - Robbie Paul
17 - Leon Pryce
16 - Gareth Raynor, Paul Sculthorpe, Leslie Vainikolo
15 - Luke Dorn, Paul Wellens
14 - Paul Newlove, Henry Paul, Anthony Sullivan

And don't forget Kev wasn't even our kicker for a good few years. Imagine what he'd have scored if he was kicking from the off

Does anybody (tvoc?) know what Sinfield's kicking % success rate is?
He seems to me to be in the Botica class in terms of accuracy.

when I used to look at these things a few years back, be was in the 80% region over the course of several seasons. I would imagine with recent efforts he would have edged that up a couple of percentage points so maybe mid 80s

Dropped to 91.1% after tonight's game.

Someone put the jinx on him.

Completely unacceptable it's to be hoped hell be trying to rectify this blip by a few extra hours at kirkstall this week
