| 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.

| 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.

Why on earth do you feel the corner flag is beside the 40m or 20m line?  Most people with a basic numeracy level would realise the corner flag is 40m away or 20m away from those lines. Anyway....
Wingers generally score in the corner. Changing the status of the corner flag will have a direct impact on tries scored and tries ruled out by wingers (Les & Denny). Mags' tries generally were support tries down the middle, but if he had some chalked off in the corner, then it's not comparing like with like.

I think you miss his point, which is that the 40/20 rule was not introduced until after Vainikolo set the previous record. Therefore, your rationale means that any tries Solomona has scored following a 40-20 should not be counted as Vainikolo wouldn't have had the opportunity to score these.
However, given that we have kicked two 40-20s all season and neither have resulted in tries, it's pretty irrelevant.

| 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.
