Oldest super League Player
Hi i would just like to ask who is the oldest player to play in a super league match. My dad thinks it was a black man around 38. Does anybody know who it is?

i dont know. just because no one knows how old he is doesn't neccasserily mean he isn't the oldest. if we dont know he could be like 50! i reckon he is at least 35.nathan_rugby posted:

I think its Brad Davis at Castleford, hes probably retired the most of any player I think he is 38 and also on the coaching staff
Re: Oldest super League Pl...
I'm pretty sure you're right, Mark, except that he hasn't really retired, he's played for Cas this season.MarkWestStand posted:

And yep, he's 38, for all those (like me) who criticise Aussies being over the hill at 30!
I remember Stevo complaining about Davis being too old during a televised game (might have been the NL1 GF last year?) whereupon he got the MoM award!

i think Stevo had been complaining for a while before the NL1 GF, He was made to eat his words after davis performance in that Grand FinalGeoffN posted:I'm pretty sure you're right, Mark, except that he hasn't really retired, he's played for Cas this season.MarkWestStand posted:

Re: Oldest super League Pl...
Could be yeah, I think he stopped playing though when he was 36. Leeds signed him when he was 32, he still did very well for them.mario posted:Could be Paul Sterling.nathan_rugby posted:

Didn't he file a racial discrimination charge with the league after Dean Lance told him he would never play for Leeds no matter how well he played ?
Re: Oldest super League Pl...
Nope, he was "only" 36 when he last played SL.mario posted:Could be Paul Sterling.nathan_rugby posted:
