Why cult hero is one of the greats

When it comes to ranking players in the toughest game of all, longevity is a key factor. And for that reason, veteran Cowboys winger Kyle Feldt will go down in history as one of the all time greats. The 32-year-old scored the opening try in North Queensland's upset 16-6 win over the Panthers on Sunday with one of his trademark dives. And as he did so, he wrote his name into the record books. It was the ninth straight year that Feldt has scored at least 10 tries - putting him in rare company. Since 1908, only two players have managed to emulate Feldt's feat - all-time tryscoring record holder Ken Irvine and Warriors legend Manu Vatuvei. Feldt is a beloved figure in Cowboy territory - with his last gasp try instrumental in their lone grand final win - and he had a fine game in the surprise win over the Panthers.
