Top try, goal & points scorers in Super League, Championship & League 1

Huddersfield Giants winger Adam Swift remains top of the Super League try-scoring chart with nine in the opening eight rounds, and Wigan Warriors flier Liam Marshall now joins him at the top on nine after his brace in their victory against Castleford Tigers.

Marshall’s nine league tries so far, due to a combination of his side’s involvement in the World Club Challenge and him being rested against London Broncos, have come in just six league appearances.

Narrowly behind that pair on the leaderboard is Warrington Wolves’ Matt Dufty, who grabbed another try in their Round 8 victory against Leigh Leopards to take his tally for the year in Super League up to eight.

Salford Red Devils star Marc Sneyd remains top of the goal-scoring leaderboard with 32, and that includes a drop-goal against Hull KR at the beginning of March. Catalans Dragons’ Arthur Mourgue, his nearest rival in that aspect, has closed in on him somewhat after a four-goal haul in their win against KR in Round 8 took him up to 28.

Having also scored three tries so far this year, Mourgue has actually now leapfrogged Sneyd in terms of overall points scored in Super League. The Frenchman sits on 68 after eight rounds while Sneyd is on 67.

In the Championship, Wakefield Trinity winger Lachlan Walmsley still tops the try scoring charts with eight, though didn’t cross the whitewash in their Round 5 win against Batley Bulldogs.

With five tries each to their name, three players in the second tier are tied for second spot – team-mate Max Jowitt, Bradford Bulls’ Kieran Gill & Widnes Vikings’ Ryan Ince.

Trinity’s Jowitt also maintains his spot at the top goal-scoring chart with 27 successful conversions, though Widnes ace Tom Gilmore & Sheffield Eagles’ Cory Aston are both hot on his tail with 24 goals each so far this year in the league. Jowitt – with 74 – leads the way in terms of overall points scored, too. He’s 14 ahead of second-placed Aston in that column.

Meanwhile in League 1, where they have played six rounds, it’s Oldham’s Cian Tyrer who remains top of the try-scoring charts with 11. The Roughyeds weren’t in action over the weekend just gone, with Rochdale Hornets’ Joe Hartley taking the opportunity to close the gap as he took his own tally up to eight.

Keighley Cougars duo Ellis Robson and Billy Walkley have also scored eight tries each so far this year, making second place a three-way tie as things stand. Having kicked 13 goals as they trounced Newcastle Thunder in Round 6, the Cougars’ Jack Miller has increased his advantage at the top of both the third tier’s goal-scoring (38) and overall points (80) charts.

With six successful conversions as Rochdale beat North Wales Crusaders last weekend, Martyn Ridyard has moved up to second for goals scored, now sat on 21. Currently 255 off the mark, Ridyard could reach the landmark of 3,000 career points this season.
