Lachlan Fitzgibbon has written "play 100 games" in his list of yearly goals for the past three seasons.
The Knights back-rower made his 79th NRL appearance in Newcastle's qualifying-final loss at the end of their 2020 campaign.
With at least 24 games to potentially play the following year, it left the milestone achievement within reach.
But a cruel string of injuries restricted Fitzgibbon to just 10 games in 2021 and only nine last season.
After making a successful return from injury in last week's season-opening 20-12 loss to the Warriors, however, the hometgrown talent is now finally set to hit the century mark against Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday.
Fitzgibbon joins Toohey's News podcast host Barry Toohey on this week's episode to look back on his career and the lessons he had to learn to make it this far.
