Beaver needs 11 tries to pass ET as the second highest try scorer of all time. Will he do it He is currently the highest point scorer never to kick a goal (ET kicked only 1)
If he can work off orford half as well as he did off cliffy, Ill tip him to pass it but maybe not this season. I reckon he has this season plus 1 more before heading over to the UK.
I reckon next year either BK or Beaver will have left the club, only one will stay. room has to be made for Lyon
He scored 8 tries last year so he will go close. It would be great to see him get there and if he is running wide off Orford he would have to be a chance. Who is the leading tryscorer and how far are they ahead of him?
Irvine and miles from memory its 212 Et has 165 Terry lamb 164 Beaver 155 Matt Sing with 146 is the only player still playing thats anywhere up there
The nrl have already stated that there will be an increase in the salary cap starting in 2007 when the new tv contract starts. They havent announced a new figure yet but rumours are that the new cap will be 4 million and the annual grants to clubs from the nrl will match this figure. Thats an increase of 700k odd. More than enough to add Lyon to our ranks and also add a quality prop or 5/8, depending on who fires and who doesnt.
