How is it significant, let alone the first time in 103 years?

there were a few games played in SW NSW CRL in the 50's and 60's where a whole team played who were all related and all had the same surname.

Not sure if this has been asked but there is one player that has played against every top flight Rugby League club that has played in the top flight (NSWRL,ARL,NRL) etc etc in Australia since the introduction on Manly and Parramatta in 1947. The only club he has not played is his own.

 

[Ausguy]

Menzies?

I'm thinking Menzies but he wouldn't have played against the Hunter Mariners.

Brett Kimmorley?

 

[Southern Rooster]

Nope remember he would have played first grade against Newtown. Yes this person played Hunter Mariners. He played Super League. He has played against all merged sides as well.

 

[Southern Rooster]

His actual first grade debut was against Newtown.

Good work. The Newtown and Hunter thing sealed it.
