Would Ken Irvine's total of tries been 230 or 240 if the corner post wasn't prohibiting him from scoring??
How many tries would Ken Irvine scored if corner post taken out of play??

Probably over 200+—his speed on the wing was just insane.

Mike Cleary was another speedster from the Ken Irvine "s era , not sure if they ever had a match race against each other but would think Irvine just a bit quicker and probably off the mark no doubt
Would have also expected Irvine to have scored more tries then Cleary and maybe played more internationals as well
Almost an art for some time now of course , especially with the more rangy wingers to get the ball down in a corner with or without touching the corner flag and not so necessary in the pre flag in touch days
Hard to say how many more tries may have been on offer for the more prolific wing scorers before the flag rule adjustment but would have amounted to a not insignificant number one would assume

This is why I hate the greatest off all time talk.
For me it is always the best of a generation as it is almost always impossible to compare (the only sports person that I know off that transcends generations and can safely be called the best of all time has to be Bradman)

and maybe Heather Mackay 🙂

I think he's would have likely got a couple more, three maybe?
