Current NRL Players and their Fathers

[veggiepatch1959]

Since Jackson Hastings is copping it form all directions at the moment, I thought I'd look at famous father/son pairings.

Wayne and Mitchell Pearce
John and Will Hopoate
Ivan and Nathan Cleary
Steve and Josh and Brett Morris
Paul and Curtis Sironen
Kevin and Jackson Hastings

Have I missed any? Can anybody say that any of the current crop of players is better than their father?

I don't think they are.

 

[Zerô]

Darius Boyd and the Crypt Keeper

Darius Boyd and the Crypt Keeper

You mean the Grim Reaper Bennett.

I think Dawius might be ahead on points but only just.

 

[David brown]

Nathan Cleary is better then his father its not even close...

 

[SpaceMonkey]

I remember Warriors fans giving it to Thomas Leuluai for not being as good as his dad James at one point.

Also you missed Jarryd Hayne, his dad, Manoa Thompson played for the Magpies, Rabbitohs, Warriors and Warrington

 

[King hit]

John and Aaron Raper

 

[Walpole]

Nathan is probably already better than his father ever was.

Brett Morris at his best was better than Steve.

On the other hand, not only did the Hastings apple fall a long way from the tree, it rolled down a hill and landed on its head.

 

[MrBlack]

Not current but

John and Scott Sattler

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Jarryd Hayne and Manoa Thompson

Spot on with the Hastings assessment.

rubbish. he said "Jarryd Hayne AND Manoa Thompson"

up to that point no-one had said Manoa Thomspon and Jarryd Hayne.


It's all in the detail...
