FROM big-game milestones, to tryscoring feats and everything in between.

There are a host of NRL players and coaches who will have a few reasons to celebrate in 2017.

These are the achievements within reach at your club next season.

BRONCOS

Round 20

Star fullback Darius Boyd and Kiwi forward Adam Blair are both on the verge of playing their 250th NRL games.

Boyd will reach the milestone in round three against Melbourne, while Blair will bring his up in round 11 against the Wests Tigers.

Hooker Andrew McCullough is four games off his 200th game, while backrower Alex Glenn needs nine to reach the same mark.

RAIDERS

Pointscoring machine and Canberra skipper Jarrod Croker requires just 76 points to become the 19th player in premiership history to reach 1500 points.

He’s also just two four-pointers away from reaching 100 tries.

Furthermore, if Croker manages score another six tries on top of that, he’ll overtake Raiders legend Brett Mullins and become the second highest tryscorer in the club’s history — not bad for a 26-year-old.

Croker’s centre partner Joey Leilua is six games away from his 150th career match, while Aidan Sezer and Jack Wighton will bring up their 100th game milestones in the opening six rounds.

BULLDOGS

Canterbury centre Josh Morris has the chance to become the club’s third highest tryscorer and overtake Chris Anderson if he scores at least 10 tries.

Brother Brett is set to bring up his own personal milestone of 200 NRL games in round four against Manly.

In the following game, prop forward Aiden Tolman will also join the 200 club.

Meanwhile, Tolman’s front row partner James Graham is just 75 metres away from 15,000 running metres in the NRL.

SHARKS

The Shire is set for celebrations of a different sort with three veterans in line to join the prestigious 300-game club.

Chris Heighington will reach the mark first, requiring just five games. Next will be Luke Lewis (16) then captain Paul Gallen (21).

Elsewhere, James Maloney is 17 games away from 200, while Andrew Fifita and Gerard Beale are set to both play their 150th career match in round nine.

TITANS

The Titans will celebrate their 250th NRL match when they run out in round five against the Warriors at Mt Smart Stadium.

Star fullback Jarryd Hayne needs 18 games to reach 200, while 97 tackle busts will bring up 1000 in his career.

Backrower Chris McQueen can bring up game 150 in round nine, while Ryan James will celebrate his 100th match in round seven.

SEA EAGLES

Brett “The Prince of Brookvale” Stewart will be hoping he can overcome injury issues because he’s just two tries away from overtaking Steve Menzies (88) as the highest leading tryscorer at Brookvale Oval.

He and Steve Matai are also two games from playing 100 matches at the ground.

Matai, however, may never reach the ton with the centre reportedly on the verge of retiring due to injury.

Meanwhile, Daly Cherry-Evans is four games away from his 150th NRL appearance.

STORM

Next season looms as a huge one in the career of Cameron Smith.

The Melbourne skipper is in line to become the most capped player in premiership history if he plays at least 21 NRL games. If he does so, he’ll go past Broncos legend Darren Lockyer who sits on 355.

It’ll be monumental achievement for the 33-year-old who is under contract with the Storm until at the least the end of 2018.

Smith is also well on his way to becoming the game’s leading goalkicker of all time. He just needs 28 conversions to overtake Jason Taylor’s total of 942.

But that’s not all.

Smith is seven points away from 2000 career points and if he manages to rack up 184 in 2017, he could move into second on the highest pointscorer leaderboard behind Bulldogs legend Hazem El Masri (2418).

Meanwhile, veteran fullback Billy Slater will be hoping his shoulder comes good because he needs just nine tries to overtake Steve Menzies (180) and become the second highest tryscorer in history behind Ken Irvine (212).

Storm coach Craig Bellamy is also closing in on a special milestone, needing four wins to become the fifth coach in history to win 250 premiership matches.

KNIGHTS

It may seem like a stretch after just one win in 2016, but if Newcastle can manage to win nine games in 2017, they’ll bring up their 350th victory.



One mark that may come a little easier is 2500 premiership tries — they need just four.

From a players’ perspective, Trent Hodkinson is 11 games away from his 150th NRL appearance.

Ben Ikin, Nathan Ryan and Ben Glover are back with a two-part off-season Market Watch special podcast, where they break down each team’s rosters ahead of season 2017.

COWBOYS

Mark down round eight against Newcastle, North Queensland fans, for this will be when inspirational captain Johnathan Thurston joins the 300 club.

In the same match, he’ll also overtake Cowboys great Matt Bowen (270 games) to become the club’s most capped player.

Thurston is also just five points from reaching the big 2000, and if he can score 182 next year, he’ll overtake Andrew Johns to become to the second highest pointscorer in history.

Hiss Cowboys co-captain in Matt Scott is 19 games away from 250 NRL appearances.

If Scott can churn out 1621 metres this season, he’ll bring up a whopping 30,000 run metres.

Meanwhile, Paul Green will bring up his 100th NRL game as a head coach in round 21 against the Roosters.

EELS

Parramatta are just 16 games away from becoming the seventh team in premiership history to play 1600 games.

Prop forward Tim Mannah is just 20 games away from his 200th match, while 772 metres will bring up another milestone of 20,000 career run metres.

His future might be under a cloud, but Fijian flyer Semi Radradra needs 18 tries to equal club greats Eric Grothe Snr and Ray Price (78 tries) for fifth on the club’s top tryscorers list.

PANTHERS

The mountain men’s third win of 2017 will bring up the club’s 500th victory.

Prop forward Sam McKendry is five games away from his 150th NRL appearance, while fullback Matt Moylan needs 188 runs to bring up 1000 runs in the top grade.

Halfback Adam Reynolds is nearing a couple of special achievements.

The NSW representative needs to set up one more four-pointer to bring up 100 try assists, while he’s just 147 points away from becoming the third Rabbitoh to score 1000 points for the club.

DRAGONS

Points have been hard to come by for St George Illawarra of late, but if the club can score 231, they’ll bring up 10,000 points for the joint venture.

Team captain Gareth Widdop needs 48 points to become the third player in the club’s history to score 500 points.

The Englishman is also set to become only the second player to slot 200 goals for the club after Jamie Soward (398), and will likely bring up his 150th career game in round eight.

Fullback Josh Dugan is also set to celebrate his 150th game, needing 13 more.

Forwards Tyson Frizell and Paul Vaughan will bring up their 100th NRL appearances early in the season.

ROOSTERS

It’ll be a season of milestone games at the Roosters in 2017.

Jake Friend is nearing his 200th match, while Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Blake Ferguson will bring up their 150th games.

Daniel Tupou, Dale Copley, Isaac Liu and Dylan Napa are all in line to hit triple figures.

WARRIORS

The Stacey Jones records are set to fall in 2017.

Experienced backrower Simon Mannering is just four games from overtaking Jones (261) and becoming the most capped Warriors player of highest.

Meanwhile, star halfback Shaun Johnson needs just seven points to overtake Jones (673) and become the club’s highest leading pointscorer.

Johnson is also three goals away from becoming the Warriors’ highest leading goalkicker and 11 points away from becoming the club’s top highest pointscorer at Mt Smart Stadium.

Prop Ben Matulino is four games from his 200th NRL appearance.

WESTS TIGERS

Centre-turned-forward Chris Lawrence is just six games away from his 200th match milestone.

The 28-year-old is also in line to become the joint venture’s highest leading tryscorer, needing just three more four-pointers.

Meanwhile, 15 wins for the club would see them bring up their 200th victory.

STATE OF ORIGIN

NSW need to win at least two games to win back the series shield from Queensland, and if they manage to do so, they’ll bring up 50 Blues wins.

The milestones are set to continue for Johnathan Thurston, with the crafty playmaker requiring just four goals to become the first player in Origin history to kick 100 goals.

His Maroons teammates Greg Inglis (18) and Darius Boyd (17) are currently in a battle against each other to see who can become the first player to notch up 20 four-pointers.
