Sad to see it but Chris Thorman scored 54 points today beating our very own G "tich" Wests record back in the olden days by 1 single point !!!
Admittedly more points are given nowadays for tries but its still a great feat and also a shame .

It's a great shame that it was such a one sided contest.

Aye , in todays scoring the record would have been 62 points (10 tries 11 goals) or in olden days Thormans would have been 50 points

Would it not be judged on the same points system as Tich West's record, seems unfair to gain a record with a different scoring system in place.

I thought some Frenchman (Maxime Greseque?) beat Tich Wests record 4 or 5 years back, scored about 9 or 10 tries?

DG's were 2 points in 1905 and the records don't show how many of the goals were DG's, so West's record may not have been 62 in today's scoring.

Records are there to be broken. This was one i never thought would have ever being possible.

Congratulations to Thorman.

Tich West had both the world records for points in a game which is the record broke today and also for tries in a game that still stands today as far as i know.
