Playing career

John Pollitt made his début for Featherstone Rovers on Saturday 28 August 1937,[5] he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored. In addition, prior to the 1949–50 season, the archaic field-goal was also still a valid means of scoring points.

gollark: The reason for it over here is sensible if probably annoying for said students: they can charge exactly £9250/year to domestic students, which is magically loaned to you by the government, but no such restrictions exist for international students.
gollark: I guess so. At least I'm not an international student.
gollark: I apparently have to pick a course within a few months before applying to university, and because the English system is so perfect and without flaw™ cannot really do the American thing of studying multiple things and specializing later. Fun!
gollark: Do related things and pick later?
gollark: As you can see, they're very pingy.
