Tinghas Try Scoring Trivia Section

[Willow]

12 August 2001: Today, against Brisbane, Nathan Blacklock scored his 24th try of the year.
Hehas already set an unique record scoring 20 tries or more for 4 seasons running.
He is about to be acknowledged as only the 3rd player in history to top the try scoring tally for 3 seasons or more.
But wait, there's more....
Tingha is just 2 tries short of equally the most tries scored in one season by a St George player.
The target of 26 tries was set in 1957... by who?

Tom Ryan.

Bugger,don't know off the top of my head.
Anyway,Willow,you said Wednesdays is going to be quiz day.
Was a fine farewell to the St George Illawarra fellas who played their last game at "home".Enjoyable to watch respects being paid.

 

[Willow]

Don't worry Ted... this is just a sideline and an excuse to give Blacklock another wrap.

It was Tommy Ryan as eels fan said.

OK then, it'll take about 2 more seasons to break Johnny King's record as the greatest try scorer for St George.
How many tries did Johnny King score?

OK... perhaps that was a little too easy.

How about this one...
What is the greatest amount tries scored in one match by a StGeorge player?

And for the bonus points...
Who scored those tries?

And to get into the 'new car' round...
Which team were they playing against?

To take out the prize and get the keys...
What was the date of this match?

And to spend a night with Delvene Delaney...
Name the record holder's brother... and why would you mention him?

1) 6
2) Jack Lindwall
3) Manly
4) 3rd of May 1947
5) Ray Russell Lindwall. Australianfast bowler 45-60. Made 1st grade for St George. Played in the '42 (?) GF for the Dragoons.

Not for nothing, but you better not be BS'ing about Delvene!

Eels fan:
Well done.
I go to a lot of trouble to collect my facts and figures.
I'll throw in Victoria Nicholls if you let me know which book you've got there...

Willow...
Hmmmmm, so your willing to trade Delvene AND Victoria for my source huh? Throw in Nicky Buckley, a video camera, a bath tub full of green jelly, 4 badgers & a pitching wedge & you may just have yourself a deal!

 

[Willow]

You drive a tough bargain. But OK. consider it done....
...although, I may need a little time to track down that pitching wedge. ...
