On another note, we could have the Chris Kendall Urinals.
This is a serious topic...please stop taking the pi$$

I was at an event at Headingley last night. The facilities are awesome and the people running it were perfect. They are absolutely the team to learn from, to see how our new stand should be managed.

But there is certainly scope for honouring other legends of our club around the ground. The Derek Turner North Stand, The Harold Poynton Suite, etc. A great way to embark on a bright future by acknowledging those that got us here.
To put him into context, the top try scorer this year was Tom Johnstone with 27. The team that scored the most goals was Catalans, with 116.
So. you'd have to burst onto the scene at 17, be the top try scorer every year, also be the kicker, as well as in the team that scores the most goals, keep that up until you were 34, season after season, never have a long injury spell, and you'd still be 500 short.
To put it more realistically, if Danny Maguire had Kevin Sinfield's boot, he'd still be a thousand short.
EVENTUALLY, WE'LL WIN SOMETHING, ,MAYBE, IF I'M STILL ALIVE THEN

Great stats. In summary........unbeatable.

And Fox's tries were only worth 3 points, not 4 as in the modern game.

Put another way, have a twenty year career playing thirty games a season and score ten points every game and you'd still come up two hundred and twenty points short.
