I think he (and Cook, McMeeken etc) are a great show of a great coach. Cas raided a relegated london side for players and look what Powell has done with them. I personally really hope when Bennett is done with England Powell takes over.

On Solomona I agree they will be sniffing shortly, hope he sticks around though

Didn't know he missed that many this year i thought he had only missed 2.

He's missed 3. Plus at least 4 games where he was effectively awol at FB

Record matched and exceeded two minutes later.

I know NZ have Manu Vatuvei and Nightingale on the edges but kinda surprised Denny didn't get in the initial 40 training squad.

Jordan Rapana from Canberra is one of the form wingers of the NRL and will probably get a game too.

Denny missed the Huddersfield (home) game plus the Wakey (away) and Salford (away) games.
The record was done in 27 league games with one game to come next week against Widnes at home. Denny also scored two tries in the home game against Salford in the Challenge Cup.

That's a great try scoring record. And I'm sorry to bring this up, but to compare with Les you'd have to either add on all tries which were chalked off due to him hitting the corner flag, or remove from Solamona all tries where he hit the corner flag first in order to compare like with like.
Solamona definitely has the record from when that rule was brought in though.

While we're at it should we chalk off all the tries scored after a 40/20? And don't forget the free play.

You are Lesley Vainikolo and i claim my £5.

Great achievement.

Let's take it into account that back then Bradford was most likely well over the cap.
They had more money to play with and played in a less competitive league.

Let's back check all tries that could of come off forward passes.
Any shoulder chargers used were Bradford opposition lost the ball resulting in a try.

Yawn.

He's broke the record and done it pretty easily on the back of wonderful coaching to a bunch of players not regarded as world beaters who play for each other.

The achievement is outstanding.

the only reason I brought it up was that it's a single variable. Scoring a try, in the corner, is the corner flag in play or not? All the other straw men been raised are multiple variables - how many pairs of hands does the ball go through after a 40:20? . Nice attempt to obscure the point and avoid answering it dispassionately but, as you say, irrelevant.
