Mark Cueto

[psychic duck]

... is now the record Premiership try scorer.

He scored his 76th try against Exeter breaking the record of his former teammate Steve Hanley. Sky Sports also showed some old footage of his first try against Bristol back from September 2001 where he did a great in out to get past Shane Drahm after space created by Jason Robinson.



Unfortunately for Cueto his record won't likely last long as Tom Varndell is closing in on the record and is on 71 tries, 11 of which he has scored this season as the highest try scorer in the league, and he is still only 27 years old so could overtake by some margin.

[Teh Mite]

Shows just how **** he's got over the last few years when his strike rate is still over 1 in 3 matches.

Varndell's total is going to be insane - I was hoping he would move to France next season :lol:
