Former Rugby League Players - what are they remembered for...??

[simmo05]

He was mentioned a little while back in here.. Wonder what ever happened to him though..

Gavin Miller - his nose.

And on a secondary note (cheating a little) - does anyone remember his one (and only - thank god) sideline commentary stint for State of Origin?.... I'd assume not but the poor bloke was absolutely bricking it with nerves, and never to be seen on the sideline again..

I think he might be in Mackay or Sarina

Gower - getting on the piss at a golf day and whipping it out

He did more than whip it out on the golf day.

He also whipped it out in a bar to a Irish tourist in 99.

Controversy
Gower has been involved in a number of alcohol-related off-field incidents. In 1999, Gower exposed himself to a female Irish tourist in a Coogee bar, blaming his behaviour on alcohol intoxication. He was dumped from the Kangaroos squad and fined A$2,500 by the NRL and a further A$500 in court after pleading guilty to indecent exposure.[22]

In December 2005, Gower was fired as Panthers captain[23] after incidents at a charity golf event where he argued with several guests, groped the teenage daughter of former league player Wayne Pearce, chased Mitchell Pearce with a bottle before vomiting on him, streaked nude around the resort, stole and crashed a golf cart, held a butter knife[24] to the throat of a Sydney radio personality before throwing it at resort guests, and engaged in a brawl with resort security before being ejected from the official function and detained by police.[25] He was handed a "final warning" by the National Rugby League and fined A$100,000, with A$90,000 to be paid to an NRL programme encouraging the responsible use of alcohol by league players and $10,000 to replace the destroyed golf cart.[26] Gower was "deeply unhappy" that the Penrith Panthers club did not defend his reputation, and at one stage threatened to "walk" from the club.[27]

Allegedly inebriated with alcohol in a bar at Kings Cross on 11 February 2007, Gower allegedly tried to kiss one man before biting him on the neck and sparking a brawl, and is accused of assaulting another man.[28][29] The Panthers club controversially reappointed Gower as captain in 2007, claiming the Peppermint Lounge incident was just a media "beat-up".[30] Australian swimmer Dawn Fraser said Gower was unfit to be captain, due to his alleged lewd behaviour at the charity golf event which she attended,[31] and Sarah Maddison, spokesperson for the Women's Electoral Lobby, said "reappointing Craig Gower would send all the wrong messages."[32]

Andrew Gee’s incorrect tap in front of the post to give the Roosters a 12-10 win in Monday football at the SFS back in 1996, it also made some lucky punter $2 million richer on footy tab.

I had Brisbane 1-12 on pick the margin, only needed those useless farks to come up with a narrow win & would have won a bit. Nowhere near the 2 mill, but would have been handy for a student.

Noa Nadruku for his GOAT stats.

26 schooners, 6 to 10 stubbies, 0.5 bottle of wine in 11 hours.

groped the teenage daughter of former league player Wayne Pearce

My understanding is that this was consensual, which is why Pearce did not proceed with the complaint to police.

Gowie was a shocker on the sauce, though. No doubt about it.
