Depending on which school of thought you might be in, Lome Fa’atau scored either five or six tries this season. This was because there was no specific ruling on penalty tries at the time – unlike now, when they are just awarded to a team – and the traditional New Zealand method of reckoning gave the try to a particular player if he was the probable try-scorer but for foul play. In those days it was normally pretty obvious who the likely scorer was.
