    Les holds the record for the highest strike rate (tries per game) in Australian first grade history. He also holds the record for the 3rd most number tries in a season, which is the South Sydney record and the record for a debut season. He suffered a concussion and a crushed vertebrae in the 1954 grand final, which was the cause for his early retirement.
