Club career

[edit]

Ernest Luckman made his début for Featherstone Rovers as a centre on Wednesday 1 January 1947, he played 5-matches in the 1946–47 season, and 12-matches in the 1947–48 season, mainly as a fullback, he made his début for Wakefield Trinity during April 1948, 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.[citation needed]
