Littler, 18, went into Week 9 with a six-point lead over Humphries at the top of the Premier League standings.

No player has ever won five Premier League nights in a single season.

And the record still stands, with Littler marooned on four after he fell just short against Cool Hand.

THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
