Every Super League ever-present in 2024 after Hull KR star loses status in Round 26

Hull KR back-rower Kelepi Tanginoa was the only Super League players to lose his ever-present status in Round 26, missing their win at Leigh Leopards through a hamstring injury.

Tanginoa had featured in all of the first 25 league games played by Willie Peters’ side in 2024, and was named in the Robins’ initial 21-man squad ahead of their trip to Leigh.

But when the teamsheets were released ahead of that clash, Tanginoa’s name was missing from the KR 17, meaning he would miss his first game of the year.

The Australian’s team-mates got the job done in his absence, winning 24-0, but the forward lost his ever-present status.

Every Super League ever-present in 2024 after Hull KR star loses status in Round 26

It’s some achievement to be an ever-present over the course of the season, avoiding injuries, suspensions and of course ensuring you’re still performing well enough to warrant selection week in, week out.

This season though, there’s more than meets the eye to being an ever-present, with coaches and clubs now having to contend with the match limits introduced at the beginning of the campaign.

Dependent on their age and position, each player now has a limit on the number of minutes they’re able to play in a calendar year.

These limits can be exceeded, but at some point down the line, all the figures need to level themselves out – for the sake of the player.
