It's a fantastic achievement

Thanks for this I was going through the stats and checking on here but the thread went adrift

Thanks Fordy. Totally agree. A fantastic achievement and it’s certainly contributed to our recent successes

And back to thread his li king stats improved yesterday.its good to watch a kick been taken and be confident the 2 pts are coming

If I remember right, when Carter took over he sold Amor, Poore, Smith, Cockayne and Aiton. If he hadn’t, we’d have gone into administration and it was made clear to him him that if we did we’d have been kicked out of Super League. Not only did he do the right thing for the club, but the right thing morally as well.

Since then we’ve turned down offers for Kirmond, Johnstone, Fifita, Miller and Tanginoa that we know about. Not only did he steady the ship, he’s sorted the finances that we no longer need to sell players to survive and extended their contracts. Even taking financial side out of it, he’s created an environment where top players want to stay and play at the club rather than move elsewhere. He did what he needed to do and we’re no longer a selling club. Surely we all agree that’s a good thing?

Don't you start

I'm not sure we got a fee for them all but I may be wrong, I think most were released.

Wasn't it a lovely day in Newcastle yesterday........





Anyway, it is quite a remarkable stat really.
In those as well he has kicked some beauties.

The Tim Smith to Salford was the big fee that helped save us. We turned down a 6 figure sum for Kirmond too at the time.

I’m sure we got a fee for all those. I know some were released as well, but I’ve not included them. Either way, to say we’re a selling club now is just ridiculous. Wigan have got rid of more stars recently than we have.

Its not just about getting a fee but reducing the wage bill that helped keep us afloat

It the record about 39 I am sure someone on here will know

This is what I was told by Michael in the meeting. As stated we had two choices sell and stay afloat or keep and be in admin possibly worse the next month. All happened in a flash.

We need to keep scoring under the posts in the next 2 games.

10 conversions to equal the record. Reckon the lad can do it too.

Can you carry through to next season or does it have to be the same season?

until you miss a kick so could break it next year

10 without missing one is a tough task

it is but he's done it three times so far

No tougher than 31 with many from touch line I’d guess.

He could give the touchline ones to someone else and concentrate on the ones in front of the sticks

Rocky could take those!

Why?

Nearly all his kicks are from the touchline, he seems to like it that way

If that is the case, why has no one else done it. And why hasn't he done it before?

I know you aren't serious, but it's worth noting, that for the record books, they have to be consecutive attempts - a player can't duck the difficult kicks.
