NEIL Turley won't dwell on how close he came to smashing a 54-year-old Centurions' try-scoring record.

The young full-back took his record-equalling six-try haul in his stride but felt he had been denied a history-making seventh by a poor refereeing decision.

Turley is convinced that the pass from Andy Fairclough that would have made it a magnificent seven, was legitimate. "When the ref called it forward I was devastated and when I asked him about it he just shrugged his shoulders," says the 20-year-old.

While he was grateful for Fairclough unselfishly laying his sixth try try on a plate by giving him the ball over the tryline, he doesn't blame Simon Svabic for not doing the same thing just before the end.

"I'd already had one try gift-wrapped and to have broken the record that way would have devalued the achievement a bit. I was urging Simon to score himself.

"Records are there to be broken but the most important think is the team performance. Who scores the points doesn't really matter but having said that it's a very proud day for me.

"But we've got to put that behind us now and totally focus on Rochdale on Sunday and look to make it nine wins in a row."

Wednesday was also a proud day for dad, Norman, stood on the touchline as Paul Terzis' right-hand man.

"As a parent you go through all sorts of emotions stood watching your son play but I've got to say that it was one of the proudest moments of my life."
