TBF playing in a lower league may mean more blow out scores (and if you look at how he got the record this would suggest the case) meaning kicking them over fewer games and maybe more near the sticks in walk over games, but great achievement all the same.

They probably are easier

Tougher, harder more tiring games in the NRL. Bigger crowds, probably more pressure

As the pitches in the lower leagues are a mess the kicks will be harder.

And don't forget, in the NRL they put live cane toads inside the ball so it's harder to get a straight trajectory. EL-Masri used to talk quietly to the cane toads as he put the ball on the kicking tee. We'd never have the foresight to do that - that's why we don't put toads in our balls and that's why it was so easy for Finn.

I heard their even forced to lick the toads, or I think that was Johns said.

The highlights of all the tries are on youtube under fevrovers tv, as you can see they're from all over the park! the streak started here www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyQenKTzIqw

I think you'll find that the ball and the posts are the same as in Super League so no less skill involved.
Rich is a good name for you by the looks of it dicky!

Blow out scores don't make a difference. It would be the same record whether he kicked one a game or ten a game, as long as he didn't miss.

The record is for most consecutive successful kicks at goal and he now holds it, whether anyone likes it or not. It's a simple and incontestable question of fact.

If there is somewhere another parallel record, where there has to be a certain ratio of kicks not under the posts, or has additional brownie points for perceived pressure kicks, or some other random criterion, then these people should argue about it in a thread about that record, although I've never heard of it.

If kicks under the posts don't count, then why aren't they excluded from the previous string of holders of the record? Do the objectors even know how many kicks were from under the posts in previous records? Or how many were scored in "blowout" matches? (Of course they bloody don't!)

So what is it, then? Perhaps "Well, OK [isome[/i kicks under the posts count, but not really, and not if there are 'too many' of them"? Is there a formula for this? What a load of utter bollox!

The objectors and nit-pickers need to get a life, Finn is the world record holder and that's end of.

Told an australian colleague. He joked that it's because over in England, the kickers never get the sun in their eyes.

And a FAX lad

Rich, can you put an explanation underneath from now on to help those with a sarcasm deficiency?

Is this in both codes of rugby, yes?

Well done Liam!

I enjoy the wooooooshing
