Template talk:National Rugby League top try scorers

Source 📝

310:'s infobox (using the aforementioned NRL stats site) that he had a '2' beside 'Most tries' in his scoring summary. But he doesn't appear in this template, so I looked into it. Boustead did score more tries than anyone else in 1980 and 1982. I think the reason he doesn't come up in whatever source was used to make this template is because this template takes only the regular season into account and in both those years Boustead went on to score more tries in the finals. So what do we do about this? It could be argued that Boustead being the top try-scorer is equally citeable. I think the status quo is quite unfair to him as it's currently not mentioned anywhere in wikipedia that he was the top try-scorer for those seasons. I think I recall a similar thing between Matt Bowen and Israel Folau perhaps as recently as last season too. I'm gonna suggest that we make the top try (and point) scorers the 162: 144: 22: 71: 53: 81: 264:(then click the "detailed statistics" link at the bottom), combines the two 1997 competitions and lists them under one "season". I had a think about providing separate player names for both competitions but decided to stick with what Sportsdata shows, given they are the statistics source for all media outlets and the NRL. What do you reckon? 226:
stats leaders). But I can't be absolutely certain because unlike the points scoring list, I did not go over this twice to check. By default I put the person at the top of the table in the navbox and also anybody listed afterwards with the same amount of tries when I saw this was the case. If someone

I agree with DH. It's not meant to be a level playing field. At least one of the NRL sources above recognises SKD as the joint top try scorer for the season. The Dally M Medals obviously have their own rules because they are timed before the end of the finals series and need to have a level playing

top scorers and not just the regular season top scorers (as per the Dally M Awards). It doesn't constitute original research as you can see with Boustead's example, it's well and truly citeable. Another way to go about this would be to make things more complicated and potentially messy by trying to

I don't like it. It's inconsistent with what's been done here on wikipedia. Nowhere else on wikipedia has data been incorporated into one 1997 season. There are two separate articles with two separate top try/point-scorers. I struggle to see the logic in counting them as one season. I don't think
432:
As you can see from what I said above, sources can be provided saying explicitly that Uate alone is the NRL's top try-scorer for 2010 as well. So what we have to decide is whether this template lists the Dally M Top try-scorers (which is for the regular season only, so all players are on a level

Why is this one wrong, it was David Simmons, David Williams and James McManus, not Michael Jennings and Jorge Taufua. It's based on the regular season and doesn't include finals matches... Same with Johnston, it was Hayne who scored the most tries in the regular season...
220:
I am fairly certain that this list is 100% complete and does not miss any person who equalled the top of the try-scoring list for a certain year. There could be a case where I did not remember to read the person listed second in the table found at the following link -

playing field), or the overall top try scorer after the grand final (for which there is no award, but sources). I'm not sure which one is best myself. I will ask at the rugby league wikiproject for further comment.--
315:
have both, or including qualifiers for what we mean exactly by "top scorer". Ideally it'd be nice to see tables of top try-scorers in each season's article and whoever is at the top of those will be our top scorer.--
688: 682: 721: 715: 287:
anyone else does. Different teams playing a different number of games. There's no parity. I don't think we'd be being silly or rebelling too much by going our own way on this and having two for 1997.--
347:' (regular season) top try-scorer with Matt Bowen, Bowen got one more than him in the finals. This means we are using the absolute top try-scorer and not the regular season top try-scorer right?-- 664: 539:
It's only home and away because you started to change it back when any one fixes it (though only for some recent seasons). It was the whole season up until then. e.g. 1974 remains correct.

The external links in the 2010 section (above) are now (unsurprisingly) dead, so I'm trying to recover them using 'web.archive.org/web' and 'archive.is', but apparently to no avail
569: 554: 631: 449:
As you can also see above, it had been decided, hence Bowen in 2005 and not Slater & Berrigan. You were just kneejerk reverting without bothering to research properly.

I think it should be for the whole season, though it would be good to note on the individual player's page if they lead the tally at the end of the regular season.
296: 273: 251: 442: 371: 269: 232: 329:"Most tries" refers to a game high. In 1980 and 1982 he scored 9 and 14 tries according to that source. Are you sure you looked at the correct column? 261: 404: 612: 265: 228: 653: 236: 751: 356: 324: 756: 338: 423:

We would need an official list/info by the NRL, anything else is guessing. So nobody can say what is "correct".--
