Stewart 233 games 163 tries
Turbo 114 games 76 tries
Slater 323 games 191 tries
Tedesco 180 games 97 tries

Worst try to game ratio and we all know Stewart and Turbo are game breakers in crap teams/coach. Im going to be kind and not mention where teddy sits in try/linebreak assists its last lol.

Would be interesting also to see the try assist ratios for each player.

A different position, but nobody comes close to Ken Irvine's ratio of tries per game with 212 tries in 236 club games & 70 tries in 62 rep games - Bradmanesque stats - he should have been included in the first batch of Immortals.

• 171 tries in 176 games for the North Sydney
• 41 tries in 60 games for Manly
• 7 tries in 8 games for City Firsts
• 30 tries in 24 games for NSW
• 33 tries in 30 games for Australia

Brian Bevan?

He scored a ridiculous amount of tries in the UK, but we can never know if he would have had the same amount of success here.

He made the team of the century. (Langlands and Fulton were on the bench!)

His record was amazing & he deserves his spot (1908-2008). However, there are not many modern era (post 70s) players selected in the team.

I guess it's no surprise that Leeds has the same colours as parra.
Leeds turned down Bevan as he looked too frail, and he ended up at Warrington.

(just trying to tie in a parra sucks comment).
