In a display of sheer grit and determination, Sharks hooker Blayke Brailey is on the verge of solidifying his reputation as the NRL's ironman as he prepares to take the field at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas.
With his eyes firmly set on the all-time record, Brailey's 104th consecutive appearance since his debut in Round 1, 2019, is a testament to his unwavering commitment to the game.
Rugby league aficionado David Middleton's stats confirm Brailey's dominance among current players, with Canberra's own Matt Timoko trailing behind in second place with 82 games under his belt.
The clash with Penrith will be a true test of Brailey's endurance and resilience, as he aims to further solidify his status as a mainstay in the league.
As the Raiders take on the Warriors in another enthralling showdown at Allegiant Stadium, the stage is set for Brailey to continue his impressive streak.
While he may have a way to go to surpass the legendary Luke Douglas' record of 215 games, there's no doubt that Brailey's name is etched in the annals of rugby league history as one of the greats in the making.
