Congratulations to Snake on moving into 2nd place of Manly all time try scorers.
Using http://stats.rleague.com/rl/rl_index.html I put some numbers together.
1. Steve Menzies.
180 tries in 349 games 1993-2008. Rate: 0.51 tries per game.
2. Brett Stewart.
130 tries in 171 games 2003-2013. Rate: 0.76 tries per game.
3. Bob Fulton.
129 tries in 219 games 1966-1976. Rate: 0.58 tries per game.
Up to & including 2008 grand final Snake scored
92 tries in 112 games at rate of 0.82 tries per game.
If he hadn't have copped those knee injuries & kept up that 2004-08 rate, today he would have around 220 games & 180 tries.
Ken Irvine got 212 tries in 236 games for Norths & Manly (for Manly he got 41 tries in 60 games, a rate of 0.68).
In the last two years Snake has got 14 (2011) and 15 tries (2012). Even if he keeps up that rate, he needs to play another 4 or 5 seasons to break Beaver's record.
