Manu Vatuvei has 142 from 204 and is 29 Years old. Has scored 10+ tries in each of his last 9 or so seasons so Might be an outside outside outside chance if injuries don't f**k him. Will need a couple of seasons of 20+ tries though

At current rate semi will only need to play 247 games to beat Irvine.

And he is 22.

But zero chance really

I like how it has stayed Ken Irvine for so long.

Can't see it.

He's got what? 3 years left? Maybe 2 considering how often he seems to be out injured and how few games he plays injury free. He'll go close but I don't think his body will hold up enough for one last season where breaking it could be a possibility.

Same applies to Stewart IMO. Vatuvei could if he remains fit and healthy. Playing on the wing, he should be fine.

So do all of his try's count from the years the Storm rorted the salary cap? He should be stripped of those too.

You need to concern yourself with excusing a team that can't win without players poached before you worry about those that pay overs when you decide to nauseate in an otherwise honest thread

"Pay overs"

Why keep making excuses for outright cheating?

They signed multiple contracts but registered only one. It was systemic cheating by everyone involved. Players, managers, coaches, administrators.

Storm cheats are a protected species.

it would be an awesome effort if anyone breaks the record.I don`t think Billy will do it

I watched Ken play and all he had to concern himself with was running with the ball, he had Olympic Game standard speed and was a lightweight. He would be smashed out of the modern game but a record is a record, one that with today's defence should never be equalled

Another Australian who was an automatic pick in Australia's Team Of The Century even though he never played for Australia was Brian Bevan who scored 670 top level tries at a time when Great Britain were at least an equal

I prefer paying overs than poaching away other teams' chances of success, I wouldn't have given a f**k what Parramatta had to do to keep the players squandered on other clubs . . . so you can pull your quivering bottom lip over your head and swallow, let this thread enjoy some sanity

"Pay overs" is a cop out.

Call it what it was. Cheating. It taints the careers of all involved.

I suppose you think Lance Armstrong just had an enhanced intake method? Consumed "overs".

Poaching players? LOL The entire Storm system is based on poached players. How many came through the Victorian grades?

Anyway Muttiah Muralitharan played his entire career with an illegal bowling action, forever there will be doubts over his records....Billy's records are tarred with the same brush.

Sabotage?

The premise of the threat is stupid.

Not as stupid as the suggestion that Ken Irvine played in a softer era, hence his record.
