I wish they did that with Johns in 06. He woulda had a sour look on his face and an attitude problem. It would of made for great viewing.
Frankly I don't know what all the fuss is about.
These records are a sham as they stand.
If it takes player 1, 200 games to get x amount of points and player 2 takes 300 games to get the same amount of points plus 1, then in my opinion, the player who takes longer is the lesser of the two players.
If player 1 takes 200 games to get x amount of points and player 2 takes 190 games to beat player one's point score THEN and only then is the record worth anything and the record breaker the better player.

What's it got to do with being a better player? It's still a great achievement and Hazem should be very proud of it... until it gets beaten in another 5 years which seems to be the norm for this record.

Lets say for example Player 2 had to play (I know, can't be done) 1000 games to get the same points as the guy who holds the record.
Is this a great achievement? Not in my mind. It is an ok achievement.
The guy that got those points playing less games is the true holder of the record.
The record books will have Hazem down as the greatest point scorer. These same records will omit the fact it has taken him longer to get there.
This is my opinion. I know it differs from the majority..

When did Hazem take over?
Just a comparison, Cronin played 9 seasons to set his record. Technically, it was 10 (77-86) but he only played 2 games in 86 and scored about 5 goals that year.
Still, lets celebrate Hazem - a great achievement, great clubman, great ambassador, role model and player.

The smile on his face when he broke the record showed how much it meant to him. In a very bad week for rugby league, I think this is something worth commending.
Why do you have to bring up Joey EVERY time you comment on Hazem and the record? :?
A simple "congrats Hazem" would do. Hell Joey wasn't even gracious enough to stick around after the game...
