and if you PM me the name I may have some photos but that is a may

I didn't realise Atkinson and Sampson shared the most appearence record.
Anyone think Huby can beat it?

Every chance if he stays fit and sticks at Cas.

John Joyner has more with 613 appearances - so no I don't.

Forgot about JJ! Yea, won't beat that. 613??? Did he start playing age 12?

17 apparently. Didn't stop playing until he was 36/37. 20 years at Cas.

Daryl Clark may have a shot!

Huby has now made 160.

Excluding 2003, 2004 & 2011 he runs at an average of 24 per season.

Joyner is 1st with 613 so Huby would need to play to around 44 years of age.

Sampson and Atkinson 2= with 431

Harold Haley 10th with 338 so that might be a realistic target if he plays at Cas to 32/33 and stays relatively injury free.

JJ ran at an average of 30.65 games per season, every season, for 20 seasons.
Phenomenal achievement really.

Must remember tho that JJ had more opportunites than the guys do now.

JJ would have played in competitions such as the Yorkshire Cup, Regal Trophy, and others such as JP trophy, BBC Floodlit etc.

A good run in these comps all help towards what is a surely an unbeatable record in the modern game!

apparently Huby's dad is playing for Castleford Rugby Union team at propr, so Craig may well have the longevity in him.

Don't want to poo poo this stat site too much as I think it by and large is great and has obviously taken a hell of an effort to compile, and its one I go to regularly, but just how accurate are these stats as I can see that prior to the 1996 season, only league matches show tries, goals etc. Did we really win the Regal Trophy in 1994 without scoring a solitary try, how on earth did we get to Wembley in 1992 if we never so much as scored a drop goal to get there !- Does this effectively make all the stats totally wrong !
