like the idea of the lewis cards.
like the idea of the lewis cards.The junior ref was an off duty police officer. The boys were trying to get an seriously injuried player off the field as the play coming his way (player safety comes to mind) plus the game wasn't actually junior either. mind you Andrew does coach junior league from time to time.
We have had too many Gallen cards. I actually enjoyed Ennis ones ! Though wouldn't mind Lewis ones, the man is top notch
If they do Milestones again next year might be him, Smith and maybe Farah (game 250 vs Knights round 3)A Lewis would be a nice card. Perhaps a 300 game card at some point
Would be him over Lewis then, doubt theyd have 2 from the same clubGallen is about to crack 300 in a couple of weeks as well

Heighington cracked 300 too this year - sharks have had 3 just this year!
Wouldve been Thurston too but he's 1 short
Not to mentions most of those player named clocked up massive amounts of rep games in form of origin and playing for there country. Adding to the toll on there bodiesI applaud 300 gamers who play more than 40 minutes a game.
Blokes back in the day played 80 minutes, barely any interchange / substitution etc.
Played 200 games back in the day is like 400 now.
Since 2000 we've had -
Lockyer
Smith
Menzies
Parker
Fittler
Hindmarsh
Croker
El Masri
Cronk
Priddis
Price
Kite
Heighington
Wiki
Civoniceva
Kimmorley
Watmough
Minichiello
Ricketson
Hoffman
Lewis
Prince
Morris
Soon - Gallen
That leaves only Lamb, Gerard, Lyons, ET, Langmack as really the pre-2000 300 gamers. Shows how much harder it was. And Gerard and Langmack got puffed out stats with interchanges later included in to their stats.
Out of that whole list, who really is an '80 minute' player and who is a rotated forward?
My 80 minute players - Lockyer, Smith, Fittler, El Masri, Cronk, Kimmorley, Minichiello, Prince, Lamb, Lyons, ET. About a third.
Not knocking the blokes who make 300 games, but it certainly needs to put in to perspective.
Thurston will get it next year and Sutton should too if he plays. Slater will reach 300 this year if he plays every game and Storm play in all 4 rounds of the finals but if not he'll be closeI applaud 300 gamers who play more than 40 minutes a game.

Cameron Smith has played 50 tests and 42 Origins on top of his 350 games - with most playing 80 minutes.
One stat I heard yesterday that I think is amazing is that Cam Smith has been in Origin camps for over a year of his life - 42 games x 10 day origin camp = 420 days!

like that Brendan, ie el masri, hardly did any work except for kick goals, run the ball back a few times, score the occasional try, and beat his wife.I see your point but you could also say that if a middle forward plays 50 minutes per week he absorbs much more punishment, makes more tackles etc than a half or outside back who plays the full 80
