Actually in general, I think you'll find I have. You'll also find I illustrated the point with 2 examples.
Others have picked out areas much more specific to this table in particular.
Possibly there is a subtle difference in our understanding of the word. Would it help if I said the points system is hopelessly flawed, inasmuch as it is too easy to skew the formula in favour of your own. Why not for example recognise Saints players' achievement in not just winning the GF 4 times, but in getting so close to it so many times

In any case you appear to have omitted the category 'MBE', which is worth approximately 15 billion points
The top 5 players based on this are:
Jamie Peacock - Approximately 15,000,000,175 pts with 1MBE, 7GF, 2CC, 3WCC, 7DT, 4LL, 1MOS, 34IC
Kieron Cunningham 171 pts with 4GF, 7CC, 2WCC, 6DT, 6LL, 23IC
Paul Wellens 163 pts with 4GF, 5CC, 5LL, 2WCC, 1MOS, 3LT, 3DT, 1HS, 22IC
Leon Pryce 158pys with 4GF, 6CC, 3WCC, 6LL, 3WCC, 1HS, 1LT, 1DT, 23IC
Sean Long 156 pts with 4GF, 5CC, 5LL, 2WCC, 2DT, 1MOS, 3LT, 21IC
