42 participants There have been 42 players who have played 300 or more games in Australian top-level rugby league, i.e. the NRL and its predecessors, the NSWRL, ARL, and SL premierships, as of August 6, 2021. They are: Greg Inglis (333) and Israel Folau (334), both from Australia; John Hopoate (335), also from Australia; Eric Grotheer (336), from Germany; Wendell Sailor (337), from United States; Kevin Kingston (338), from England; Chris Smith (339), from New Zealand; and Andrew Ettie (340), from Scotland. The record is held by Greg Inglis, who has played all but one game of his career with the South Sydney Rabbitohs club. He was banned for a year after he pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated sexual assault for an incident that occurred during the 2013 season. The ban ended in 2014, which means he can play again this season. He plans to continue playing until at least 2016 when his contract with Souths runs out. Inglis' record is unlikely to be broken since his retirement in 2016 after playing 333 games, which is almost half of all the games ever played in the NRL. The next highest number of games is currently held by Jason Taylor (292), who also retired in 2016.
