Wade Nears 150th Gallagher PREM Game as Newcastle Red Bulls Face Harlequins

newcastle red bulls face Harlequins tomorrow with Wade set for his 150th Gallagher PREM game. The winger also goes in six tries short of the league’s all-time scoring record of 95, with four matches left this season to chase Chris Ashton.

Wade Reaches 150

Wade’s milestone arrives against a Harlequins side sitting directly above bottom-placed Red Bulls in the table. That gives the match a sharper edge than a routine late-season fixture, because the two clubs are separated by position but not by much else in the standings.

He comes into it after scoring one try in his last appearance against Bristol Bears two weeks ago. That try kept his season moving, but the record chase remains in view because he still needs six more to reach Ashton’s league mark of 95.

Stephen Jones Demands More

Stephen Jones made clear the fixture carries weight inside the camp. “This is an incredibly important match for us,” he said ahead of Newcastle Red Bulls’ game against Harlequins.

The wording fits the table. Harlequins are directly above bottom-placed Red Bulls, so the meeting is not just about Wade’s milestone appearance; it also gives Newcastle a chance to cut into the gap between the sides. With four games left this season, the margin for Wade’s scoring chase is narrow, and every appearance now feeds both the club’s position and his pursuit of Chris Ashton.

Chris Ashton Target

Wade has four games left this season to get ahead of Ashton, and the record sits at 95 tries. One score against Bristol showed the chase is still live, but the math is tighter now: six tries to go, four matches to do it in, and a milestone appearance landing in the same game.

For Red Bulls, the immediate task is simpler. They need a result against a side placed just above them, and Jones has already underlined that the match matters. For Wade, the next step is just as clear: take the 150th game, then keep the try count moving.
