Simon Mannering has been ticking off a few milestones this season.
In June he became the first player to captain the Vodafone Warriors in 100 NRL matches and, in the same match, achieved the 200-game milestone (only the second player to do so for the club).
Tomorrow he leads the Kiwis again in their vital Four Nations clash against England at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin (8.00pm kick-off).
It will be the 28-year-old's 39th Test since making his debut in 2006, lifting him to fifth place on the Kiwis' all-time list for most Test appearances.
Utility Thomas Leuluai plays his 34th Test tomorrow and hooker Isaac Luke his 31st.
Former world record holder Ruben Wiki is first with 55 Tests followed by Gary Freeman and Stacey Jones on 46 and current coach Stephen Kearney on 45.
