Huddersfield Giants winger Adam Swift remains top of the Super League try-scoring chart with 11 in the opening 10 rounds, adding another to his tally as Ian Watson’s side lost out to Salford Red Devils last Friday night.

Innes Senior moved into outright second spot on the leaderboard as he scored another in Castleford Tigers’ draw at Leigh Leopards to take his tally for the season in Super League up to 10. Wigan Warriors flier Liam Marshall has now gone two games without a try, but still sits third with nine tries to his name.

Having kicked three goals in Salford’s win at Huddersfield, Marc Sneyd remains top of the goal-scoring leaderboard with 38, that figure including two drop goals. Leeds Rhinos’ Rhyse Martin has become his nearest rival in terms of goals, kicking seven as they ran riot at Headingley against London Broncos to reach 34 for the year.

Sneyd also sits top in terms of overall points scored with 78 to Martin’s 72. Sandwiched between that pair in second is Catalans Dragons’ Arthur Mourgue with 74.

In the Championship, Wakefield Trinity winger Lachlan Walmsley still sits top the try-scoring charts with 11, adding another to his tally as they beat Sheffield Eagles in Round 7.

He remains the only man in the second tier who has hit double figures in 2024, with Featherstone Rovers’ Connor Wynne his nearest competitor, scoring four tries as they thumped Halifax Panthers last weekend to double his tally, taking it up to eight.

Having kicked six as they beat Sheffield, Trinity’s Max Jowitt maintains his spot at the top of the goal-scoring chart with 37 successful conversions, five in front of the the Eagles’ Cory Aston on 32 and seven ahead of Widnes Vikings’ Tom Gilmore on 30.

With his 16 points in victory against Sheffield, also scoring a try, Jowitt became the first man in the Championship to hit triple figures with overall points scored in 2024, now on 102 and some way in front of Aston’s 76 in that column.

Meanwhile in League 1, where they have played eight rounds, it’s Oldham’s Cian Tyrer who remains top of the try-scoring charts with 14, scoring another brace in the Roughyeds’ huge 74-0 win against Newcastle Thunder last weekend. Keighley Cougars’ Billy Walkley still sits in second on the leaderboard with 12.

Cougars ace Jack Miller also remains top of both the goal-scoring & overall points-scoring charts. He’s now kicked 46 and with one try to his name too, has scored an overall 96 points in League 1 so far this season.

Rochdale’s Martyn Ridyard is Miller’s closest rival on goals, now sat on 34 having slotted eight conversions over as they routed Cornwall. The veteran is under 250 away from the landmark milestone of 3,000 career points.

Miller’s closest rival in terms of overall points scored is another former Super League ace in the shape of Oldham’s Jamie Ellis, now on 72 for the year after picking up 22 via 11 conversions as they trounced Newcastle Thunder.
