2) Gibbs

3) ?

1\. Yes - Richards scored 26 tries in 39 games (0.67 tries per game)
2\. Yes - Gibbs has scored 3 tries in 132 games (0.023 tries per game)

Funnily enough, they both scored tries in Wests Tigers biggest game (so far), the 2005 grand final.

Who was that big kiwi prop we had in the early 2000s? He was on a massive no-try streak and then he might have scored 2 in one night? A lot of those games were at Easts but he must be in the top few for bad try scoring ratios!

Different guy. Chris Paterson/Corey Pearson… I made the same mistake once.

Pearson did get sent off once though.

Another stat I found interesting in researching this:

Skando has lost a total of 146 NRL games, just 3 games behind the all time loser, Steve Menzies. Of course, Menzies did happen to play 100 more games (exactly).

And Pearson has scored 4 tries (in only 55 games)

A try scoring machine! Was it Pearson who through the final pass that was called (incorrectly) forward against Canberra (I think) and cost us the game?

That was Villa the Gorilla!!
Then he went to other clubs and started scoring left right and centre!! :laughing:
