As the curtain closes on the 2024 Super League season, fans and analysts alike are taking a closer look at the players who have managed to maintain a flawless record on the field. Out of more than 360 players who graced the league this year, only a select few ended with an undefeated record in every game they played. This rare achievement highlights a unique list of Super League athletes who contributed significantly to their teams’ success. Let’s break down the four undefeated players, including a standout duo from the Wigan Warriors.
Keanan Brand (Leigh Leopards)
Keanan Brand, who played on loan at both Bradford Bulls and Widnes Vikings, saw limited but impactful time on the field for Leigh Leopards in 2024. Known for his resilience and tactical awareness, Brand played in just two Super League games for Leigh but emerged victorious in both. The Leopards triumphed over the Salford Red Devils at the Magic Weekend, securing a 26-0 win, and then defeated the London Broncos 32-12 the following week. At just 25, Brand’s steady performance earned him a memorable season with his 100% win record intact.
Jacob Douglas (Wigan Warriors)
Rising star Jacob Douglas, a 20-year-old winger, also boasts an undefeated season with the Wigan Warriors. Douglas was on the field for two significant wins, including a close 19-18 victory against Warrington Wolves in June, followed by a dominant 22-4 win over Hull FC in August. Despite spending time on loan with Bradford and Barrow Raiders, he managed to impress the Warriors’ management, likely securing his future at Wigan’s Brick Community Stadium. His contributions, both as a try-scorer and a reliable team player, solidify his position as one to watch in future seasons.
Tom Forber (Wigan Warriors)
The young and talented Tom Forber played an integral role in Wigan Warriors’ victorious season, participating in 10 Super League games, including their Grand Final win over Hull KR. At just 21, Forber added depth to the team as a skillful hooker, scoring his first senior try against Catalans Dragons. Forber’s reliability and versatility helped Wigan maintain their top-tier performance, making him an invaluable asset to the team. His commitment and skill were rewarded in his undefeated season, further solidifying his place in the team.
Ben Littlewood (Leeds Rhinos)
Rounding out the list is Ben Littlewood of Leeds Rhinos, who made his debut at the age of 19. In his only Super League appearance, Littlewood came off the bench to help Leeds claim a decisive 30-4 victory over Wigan. The young back-rower also took to the field for Halifax Panthers on dual-registration earlier in the season, showing his flexibility and adaptability. His promising start hints at a bright future, as he prepares to continue his journey in the sport.
In a season filled with challenges and surprises, these undefeated Super League players, led by the Wigan Warriors duo, have shown that consistency and skill can turn brief appearances into significant achievements.
