Tries, Tries, Tries

[Bearfax]

Not sure of records of try scoring in Manly's past but I dont think I've ever seen a situation in their past when their two wingers have scored 20 tries a piece and the full back 19 tries in one season. That in itself must be a record. Taufua and Williams scored 20 each in the 2013 season, while the full back Brett Stewart scored 22 in 2008. Blake of course holds the record of 27 tries. Junee 23 tries, Menzies and Terry Hill 22, and Fulton 21. But there has never been a season where the 1,2 and 5 have scored so many in one season, and we still have three games left, and two against bottom sides. This season that began so poorly could break the records. Who'd a thought in April?

Turbo has 48 (trys + try assists)
50 total must be a record also.

On the fox coverage I 'think' they said no team has had the 1,2,and 5 score 20 tries each in one season...ever.

I think there should an asterisk. Vlandysball is a major reason for this.

Isn't it wonderful that the new blow out scores and touch footy ... isn't a negative when it is us flogging the living tripe out of the slimebags ...

To be honest we got very few six agains. I’ll have a look for the stats.

Yeah we only got few ... my comment was more of a general observation ..

We lost the reset count 3 to 2 but I get the point.
We also lost the penalty count. I reckon if we had stayed professional and not gone into let’s have fun mode we could have put 70 plus on them.

Well we better strap in boys... We have dogs and cowboys to round out the season... If des wants top 4 then there's no way we're resting players and I fully expect to put a minimum 50 pts on each team... You'd think tom,Garrick and saab will all pick up another 5-6 tries between them in those 2 games alone... Time to break some records

Manly got 2 extra 6s, Parra got 3. Manly conceded 5 penalties, Parra 7. Pretty even which is good to see.

So Sandwich has now scored more points this season than the whole bulldogs team
