Following this weekend’s games we have a new leading scorer for the Sharks. Well done to Tom Newbery- to date he has scored 9 TDs and 10 XP – a total of 64 points. He takes over the top spot from Sean Wasley (52 pts), who only saw limited action this weekend as he recovers from mumps.

Neil is now both the leading scorer on defense with 9 pts (1 safety and an interception return) and joint leader in interceptions (shared with Ricardo on 3).
And wary of letting him get a big head, Neil also has an incredible TD to INT ratio of 12:1 (48 TDs and 4 INTs).
When you combine that with the fact that 13 different receivers have scored so far this season, plus an awesome defense that has 13 interceptions, 9 sacks, 4 safeties and 2 touchdowns, it’s no wonder that this team is challenging for post-season play.
A testament to great coaching and dedicated players.
(and let’s not forget that Dayle is the winningest coach in Sharks history with a 7-1 record!)
Great work on the stats, Gary! I’ll also be interested to see how the team performs in comparison to last year (when we largely played 10-minute halves, of course). Clearly, we should exceed the scoring average of 21 points per game, but conceding less than 19 points per game will be tough…
We’re currently averaging only 12 points per game against (43 for!) us through 8 games with 5 to play: Jets, Eagles, Exiles. Mayhem and Wing Dings (Dogs forfeited the other) so it is very much still possible.
