League Information Services previously brought up George Green at 38 years, 8 months and 20 days as the oldest known premiership player when he won in 1922 with North Sydney: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/gallen-eyes-off-96-year-nrl-record
To put it in perspective, currently 38 other players have played 300 first grade games in league history. 88 of those wins did come during the Storm’s asterisk era for those who enjoy that stuff, but still an insane stat.
From this twitter thread - https://twitter.com/kenji_ball/status/1435180902632476672 this is their instagram https://www.instagram.com/japanrugbyleague_australia/
They have a match coming up against Uruguay, pending restrictions.
If you know anyone, or some who may know anyone of of Japanese heritage, anyone born in Japan living Australia who play rugby league, or even not but you think could give it a shot to try out for this team, get in touch with them to let that twitter/insta know!
I am in no way associated with this so any questions, best to ask on twitter/insta I just thought I'd help to get the word out on here
Here it is folks. I'm back after a week off and i'm returning to do Cameron Smith. This is a promise I made about 5 weeks ago when I did my post on the legend Darren Lockyer. (Which, I know it's a shameless plug, but that's one of my favourites of these that i've done.) But you guys have waited for it.
I'm surprised you guys wanted this so much. He's a pretty new player. He was born at Pontefrant, West Yorkshire, England on Saturday, November 7^th 1998. He's an 18 year old player for the Leeds Rhinos. He's barely played any games and most have been on the bench. He's played some games for England's under 16 team and captained the team. He's currently on loan with the Bradford Bulls where he going wel... what?
I've been told this was the wrong Smith?
What's a Melbourne Storm?
So it turns out you guys want the NRL player... Could have fooled me. Let's start this again.
Cameron Smith. Either you love him or you hate him. But regardless on how you feel about him, you have to admit that he is a modern day legend of the game. He recently reached the 355 game milestone. The only other person to reach that mark is the legendary man called Darren Lockyer so he's in good company. Born on Saturday, 18^th June, 1983 up in sunny Brisbane (The same day as Billy 'The Kid' Slater.) He is a one club player with the Melbourne Storm since 2002. He has scored 42 tries, 993 goals from 1350 attempts and 3 field goals. In total, he has played 334 games at hooker with 5 games at 5/8^th, 6 games at Halfback and started 10 times on the bench. Let's look at some stats.
We are going to start off with game milestones.

Obviously it wasn't what we call rugby league today but it did evolve from that moment.
I recently saw J. Smith-Cameron’s interview with Andy Cohen where she teased a “shocking” and “very upsetting” ending to season 3. I actually don’t think it’s Roman based as that hit in the penultimate episode. My prediction is that Kendall turns himself in for the accident and coverup in the UK at Shiv’s wedding. He implicates Logan in the cover up as well. The conversations between Kendall and Logan about being a “good person” and the absolute brutal smack down by Logan asking him how long the boy was alive will be what pushes Kendall over the edge. He tried to take Logan down for bad deeds but failed due to a lack of compelling proof. This is first-hand and I think he’s in a place where he’ll burn himself to burn Logan.
This is when Pluto was in Scorpio.
If you were, then you were born while your ruling planet was in Pluto. You guys must be intense. I am a Cancer born in 1985 with Pluto and Saturn in Scorpio. I also have a Scorpio Decan.
The next time Pluto will be in Scorpio is around 2232.
