Simon Mannering isn't big on stats but it's impossible to ignore his numbers this year.
He was in line to make his 28th Test appearance for the Kiwis in their Four Nations encounter with Wales at Wembley Stadium this weekend.
As he is every week for club or country, he was keen to front up again but will instead sit out a match for the first time this season.
Since the Warriors' NRL season-opener against Parramatta at Eden Park on March 12 through to the Kiwis' first Four Nations clash against Australia in Warrington last Friday night, the 25-year-old Vodafone Warriors has played every game he possibly could - 28 NRL appearances for his club and three Tests for his country, all against the Kangaroos.
That's 31 top-level matches across 34 weekends including two games in less than 48 hours in early May when he played 80 minutes for the Kiwis in the Anzac Test against the Australians on May 6 and the full 80 in his club's NRL clash against Gold Coast on May 8. His only weekends without football have been the Warriors' two byes, the weekend after the NRL grand final and the weekend of October 22-23 between the Kiwis two Tests against Australia.
His performances throughout the NRL season earned him his club's Lion Red Player of the Year award, the second time he had won it in his career after also succeeding in 2008. Five times during the NRL season he was chosen by his team-mates as the players' player of the day. Last weekend he was once again given the same honour after the Kiwis' 12-26 loss to Australia.
For both the Warriors and Kiwis he has also further underlined his value by alternating between the second row and centre at times during the year.
Mannering will return for the Kiwis' November 12 clash against England but now that he's eyeing a richly-deserved and rare weekend off it's timely to run the rule over his key stats. In a nutshell he has:
Played 31 games of a possible 31 for the Warriors and Kiwis
Been on the field for 2405 minutes of a possible 2480 minutes (an average of 77.6 minutes a match)
Made 326 runs (an average of 10.5 a game)
Gained 2512 metres (an average of 81.03 metres a game)
Made 995 tackles (an average of 32.09 tackles a game)
Small wonder coaches and team-mates - not to mention opponents - hold Mannering in the highest regard.
But somehow judges for the Rugby League International Federation's player of the year awards don't agree. They couldn't even find a place for him among the five finalists for the second rower of the year category.

Source: www.warriors.co.nzVodafone Warriors captain Simon Mannering became only the second double winner of the Lion Red Player of the Year accolade at the club's gala awards dinner at the SKYCITY Convention Centre.
After previously winning the award in 2008, Mannering matched the twin wins in 2005 and 2006 by Steve Price, the man he succeeded as captain last.
Mannering was one of the four finalists for the NRL Captain of the Year title at the Dally M Awards in Sydney last week.
The youngest captain in the club's history, Mannering is one of only three players who have appeared in each of the Vodafone Warriors' 25 matches so far this season. He's set to make it 26 on end when he leads the side in his 144th career appearance in Friday night's NRL semi-final against Wests Tigers.
Mannering was honoured in front of 600 guests, marking a year in which he has been named the players' player of the day five times so far. He has been on the field longer than any of his team-mates this year - 1931 minutes - and also averages the most minutes per game of all the forwards (77.2). He averages 30.6 tackles a game (only Micheal Luck heads him), 80.5 metres a game and he is second on the side's list of off loaders behind Feleti Mateo.
Former winner Luck and first-year Vodafone Warrior Mateo were nominees for the premier award along with Aaron Heremaia, Kevin Locke and James Maloney.
There was a strong field in line for the Vodafone NRL Young Player of the Year Award including four first-grade debutants in Shaun Johnson, Elijah Taylor, Glen Fisiiahi and Pita Godinet as well as second-year NRL players Alehana Mara and Bill Tupou. All except Godinet are NYC graduates, Johnson, Taylor, Fisiiahi and Tupou all members of the 2011 premiership-winning Vodafone Junior Warriors.
Winning the title was Johnson, who turned 21 just last Friday. Since making his NRL debut against the Sydney Roosters in June, Johnson has appeared 13 times, scoring six tries - most of them spectacular long-range efforts - and quickly establishing himself as a playmaker. While he has made only 13 appearances, he already has 13 try assists to his name, only Maloney leading him with 15 in 24 matches. He also has six line breaks, six line break assists and 36 off loads while he averages 73 metres a match.
Nominees for the Canterbury of New Zealand Club Person of the Year Award were last year's winner Heremaia, Jacob Lillyman, former winner Micheal Luck, Jerome Ropati, Taylor and another ex-winner Manu Vatuvei. The winner was Ropati who, after having his season ended by a knee injury in March, has been heavily involved in community and promotional work for the club. A key driver of the club's One Community League in Libraries initiative, Ropati has also been nominated for the NRL's supreme One Community award, the Ken Stephen Medal.
Earlier in the evening Locke was named the winner of the Vodafone People's Choice Award.
In another feature, a special presentation was made to departing Vodafone Warriors head coach Ivan Cleary, who has guided the club to the NRL finals four times in the last five years. In all Cleary has spent 10 years with the club, first as a player from 2000-2002 followed by a year as assistant coach in 2005 and six seasons as head coach from 2006.
Also acknowledged for his contribution to the Vodafone Warriors was departing 10-year veteran Lance Hohaia, who has played 182 times at NRL level since his debut in 2002.
Announced during the dinner were the nominees for the Vodafone Warriors' NYC Player of the Year Award to be named at the Vodafone Junior Warriors' annual awards dinner at SKYCITY next Wednesday night. In contention are captain Ben Henry, Konrad Hurrell, Sam Lousi, John Palavi and Omar Slaimankhel. The winner receives the Sonny Fai Memorial Medal.
The Vodafone Junior Warriors have gone straight through to week three of their finals after backing up their minor premiership success by blasting Newcastle 54-6 in their qualifying final in Brisbane last week.
