As the curtain falls on the 2024/25 campaign, Newcastle Falcons can look back on a season that saw several standout individual performances across the board.

MCCALLUM EVER-PRESENT IN TIRELESS CAMAPAIGN

Utility prop Murray McCallum topped the appearances chart, featuring in all 30 of Newcastle’s competitive fixtures this season. A model of consistency and durability, McCallum was ever-present in league and cup competitions alike.

Just behind him was back-row Freddie Lockwood, who played 29 times and once again proved himself as one of the club’s most reliable and hard-working performers.

Departing club captain Callum Chick bowed out in typically committed fashion with 25 appearances in his final season in Falcons colours with fly-half Brett Connon and scrum-half Sam Stuart also clocking up 25 appearances each, continuing to be key figures in the squad set-up.

BLAMIRE FINISHES ON A HIGH

In what proved to be his final season with the club, hooker Jamie Blamire was crowned top try-scorer, crossing the whitewash 12 times. Blamire’s dynamic presence around the field once again proved crucial, capping off a memorable campaign.

Ben Stevenson followed closely with 10 tries in an electric season for the winger, whilst Freddie Lockwood added a further accolade to his year with nine tries to his name.

CONNON LEADS THE POINTS CHARTS

Fly-half Brett Connon finished the season as Newcastle’s top points scorer, amassing an impressive 151 across his 25 appearances. Connon’s consistency from the tee proving vital throughout the season.

Thanks to their try-scoring exploits, Blamire (60 points) and Stevenson (50) rounded out the top three in the points standings.
