NRL Rare Feats

[T-Boon]

Josh Addo-Carr is the only player to achieve 6 tries in a game in the NRL era for Storm v Rabbitohs Rd 9 2021.

Pre-NRL there is 8 occasions of 6 or more.
Frank Burge 6 1916
Frank Burge 8 1920 (Record)
Rod O'Loan 7 1935
Dave Brown 6 1935
Dave Brown 6 1935
Alan Ridley 6 1936
Jack Lindwall 6 1947
Jack Troy 6 1950

Nice. Was this off ChatC3P?

Only the king Ryan Girdler could have achieved this.

I'd say Brett Kenny would be a candidate as well.

I'd say Brett Kenny would be a candidate as well.

I can remember a game against Manly (Or the Northern Eagles) with two intercept tries from Girdler. Maybe it was just one intercept but it was dramatic. He got a hattrick that night.

Good old fashioned Wikipedia.

Also checked some other sources through google search just to verify some of it. Mainly the Addo-Carr one to verify he is the only in the NRL era, and the round and opponent etc.

Manly’s 70 years without coming last while Parra has a whole wing of wooden spoons

Whats the most handling errors in a match?

Didnt Manu Vatevi have 5 or more in a horror game against the Eels early in his career?

Peta Hiku at the Warriors against Penrith would be up there. Everything he touched turned to mud. Not sure of the year.

Braith Anasta at fullback also against us would be one of the worst all time performances, don't recall how many of his dogshit involvements were handling errors specifically though.

Charlie Staines with 4 tries on his debut would be up there. I think there was a Titans winger that either did the same or very close. Can't think of any others that got that many first time out.

Only the king Ryan Girdler could have achieved this.

Michael Jennings also had a huge knack for intercepting the ball when he was a Panther.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Definitely.
An interesting one would be if anyone has ever had a 3 interception try game. I am confident there has been 2 interception try games before.

Nofoaluma took 2 intercepts v manly at leichhardt one year, both thrown from turbo, think in 2017.

Paul Carige in that preliminary final

absolute comedy gold

NRL feats only mate sorry.

A distinction only Panthers fans care about. Let's face it, you will always be St George's bitches in that regard. (As will we all!)

The entire Rugby League world cares about this.

Only in the far reaches of the LU peanut gallery do posters try to besmirch the all time great achievements of the Penrith Panthers.

I just looked up most 40/20s in a single game and AI tells me it is 10 achieved by Brisbane Broncos in a game last year. This is BS right?

 

[This Year?]

I know it wasn't in the salary cap era and not taking anything away from Penrith and what they have achieved, but if it was that easy to do, why hasn't anyone else done it?

Never before, never again. Nothing will be rarer.
Salary cap or not hence, game over.

That was Jordan Atkins. 4 try debut RD 1 2008 v Cowboys.

Other 4 try debutants are (Pre-NRL era):

Johnno Stuntz on debut for East's in the first game of 1908 season

Tony Nash on debut for Canterbury 1942.

Cameron Smith as hooker, captain, coach and referee in all his 400+ games. And only did it on 2 contracts (that we know of). Surely this is a feat that will never be matched again.

Mullins I’m sure had multiple rare feats during that freak run in 1995. A try off 2 x chips. Back to back weeks with tries from kick returns. I’m sure plenty of others that raiders fans would be able to fill in
