And yet prior to the arrival of Danny McGuire he scored more tries per game than any other SL stand-off. And that includes Henry Paul and Iestyn Harris.

He didn't look all that slow (especially off the mark) when he finished top of the try-scoring charts at Saints. Goulding could only dream of that.

I also recall Tommy Martyn scoring a number of Trys from inside his own half, especially in his younger days at Saints.
Certainly in his later years he slowed down, but then so do all players. Sean Long used to be capable of 15 to 20 trys a season, but now only manages a couple.
