The 20-year-old brought up her 500th point for the leaguetag team last Saturday to join her father Chris as one of nine players from the Wagga club to achieve the feat.
Suckling started at 12 during the first season in Group Nine and has enjoyed plenty of success in the last eight seasons.
Despite missing last year with a knee injury, Suckling has quickly worked her way into the record books.
With her pedigree and connection with Brothers, taking up the sport was an easy fit for the youngster.
“I grew up watching rugby league and it is nearly the exact same rules, besides the tackling,” Suckling said.
“It is more open than touch, you can set up more so I just enjoy running around and playing.”
Chris, a father of five girls, said the addition of leaguetag was a great way to involve women in the sport.
He couldn’t be prouder of what Gab has been able to achieve, even if his record is one day surpassed.
