The reigning man of steel makes his 250th appearance for the club tomorrow night, Tremendous achievement for a player who puts his body on the line every game. He must have made around 10,000 tackles in those games too

Thing about Houghton is that from his debut he looked like he was born ready. Immense.

Would be interesting to see how many games he's actually missed (from becoming a first team regular). The guy is never injured! And considering what he puts his body through every single week it's Mightily impressive!

The only game I remember him missing in the last few years was Catalans away, think it was because his wife was due to give birth.

Didn't he miss the game after the CC final?

Was thinking the same, I think we rested him in a couple of early round CC games but cannot be sure, and dont remember him ever being injured. unreal.

Just checked and yes he did, lazy bugger has had 2 games off in about 5 years, wonder when the last time he missed a game through injury?

Houghton has missed just two games since the start of the 2013 season, Catalans away in 2014 and Saints away in the Super 8s last season.

What about before that any idea mate?

Missed three consecutive games in July 2012.
