South Sydney's Chris Sandow has finished the regular season as the NRL's leading point scorer with Sandow's team-mate Nathan Merritt and Canterbury's Ben Barba finishing equal first at the top of the try scoring charts.
Sandow scored 195 points, which was nine points clear of Benji Marshall from the Wests Tigers with Warriors James Maloney in 3rd position on 180 points.
Merritt scored two tries in the Rabbitohs loss against Newcastle last Friday night pushing him four clear of Barba, but the Canterbury dynamo hauled in Merritt with his first four try haul at NRL level during the Bulldogs victory against the Raiders. Both players finished the season with 23 tries each with Newcastle powerhouse Akuila Uate coming in 3rd position with 19 tries helped by a four try haul against Souths as the Knights secured a finals position.
Sandow was also the NRL's leading goal kicking landing 82 successful goals with Melbourne's Cameron Smith and Maloney next best with 72 goals.
Penrith's Travis Burns was the most accurate goal kicking this year landing 24 goals from 26 attempts for a 92% success rate with Newcastle's Wes Naiqama next best with 88% and his team-mate Kurt Gidley with 87%.
Sandow's slotted seven drop goals, two more than Dragons Jamie Soward with Penrith's Luke Walsh next best with four drop goals.
