It’s not 2,317 though is it? (Technically it should be 2,320)

Don’t understand your point?

I understand you’re speaking of Jim Sullivan but he didn’t play in the Super League era which is what this thread is about

I’m guessing this is just the Super League era?

Still think Frano was the best I've seen (and I know the stats above were just SL).

Interesting how many of those listed were turned into goalkickers when we were casting around for one.

Bound to bring up pre-Super League kickers - Farrell kicked goals pre-Super League IIRC?

Frano was metronomic.
