2017 milestones

Thought I'd dig through and find a few milestones to keep an eye out for this year - some of you might find this interesting. Feel free to add anything to this list.

The Warriors need one home win to clock up 150 home wins and one away win to clock up 100 away wins.

Ben Matulino needs four more games to reach the 200 game milestone. Manu Vatuvei (225 games) and Shaun Johnson (125 games) could also reach individual milestones if they have a long season.

Simon Mannering (258 games) needs four more games to overtake Stacey Jones (261 games) as the most capped Warrior of all time.

There's a bunch of players that could crack 50 Warriors games this year - Lolohea, Kata, Hoffman, Lisone, Thompson, Vete, Fusitua and Gubb.

If Sam Lisone plays 16 games without scoring, he'll overtake Brady Malam as the longest serving Warriors player (55 games) without a point to his name. (Maybe this is why he tried that field goal??)

Simon Mannering (58 tries) needs two tries to join Francis Meli (60) in third place on the overall Warriors tryscorers list, behind Stacey Jones (77) and Manu Vatuvei (152).

Shaun Johnson (667 points) needs eight points to overtake Stacey Jones (674 points) as the overall leading Warriors pointscorer. If Manu Vatuvei (608 points) has a monster tryscoring season he could overtake Jones as well.

Shaun Johnson has kicked 220 goals for the Warriors, if he takes the duties on this year he'll overtake James Maloney (222 goals) as our most prolific goalkicker.

If the Warriors can overcome the Knights in Round 1, it'll be our first Round 1 win since 2009.

Good question!

John Monie - no (22-25 vs Broncos, Rd 1 1995)
Frank Endacott - no (18-34 vs Broncos, Rd 10 1997)
Mark Graham - yes (26-16 vs Roosters, Rd 1 1999)
Daniel Anderson - no (8-24 vs Raiders, Rd 1 2001)
Tony Kemp - yes (20-14 vs Raiders, Rd 13 2004)
Ivan Cleary - no (16-22 vs Storm, Rd 1 2006)
Brian McClennan - no (20-26 vs Sea Eagles, Rd 1 2012)
Tony Iro - no (6-38 vs Dragons, Rd 25 2012)
Matthew Elliott - no (10-40 vs Eels, Rd 1 2013)
Andrew McFadden - no (20-21 vs Bulldogs, Rd 6 2014)

It appears winning your first game in charge may not be the brightest omen...

No.. .he just bides his time and then strikes when he thinks there's a weakness.. he doesn't get to strike very often.

He's probably watch S15...
Or his Lance Armstrong vid .......

A very basic milestone this year would be Mooks getting a favourable win-loss record for a season as a NRL head coach.

I'm taking my expectations for 2017 in small steps, as gingerly as Manu's mid-season beard.
