If you define first-grade in Australia/NZ as NSWRL (1908-94), ARL (1995-97), SL (1997) and NRL (1998 onwards):

- Tyran Smith (South Sydney, Nth QLD, Hunter Mariners, Auckland, Balmain, Wests Tigers, Canberra).

- Darrien Doherty (Penrith, Western Suburbs, Canterbury, Illawarra, Hunter Mariners, Adelaide, Nth QLD)

both played for 7 clubs. I believe this is the record. I'd be surprised if you can find another RL player since 1908 who played for 7, let alone 8.

There's several players who've played first-grade for 6 clubs:

- Brett Kimmorley (Newcastle, Hunter Mariners, Melbourne, Northern Eagles, Cronulla, Canterbury)
- Phil Blake (Manly, South Sydney, North Sydney, Canberra, St George, Auckland)
- Kevin Campion (Gold Coast, St George, Adelaide, Brisbane, NZ Warriors, North QLD)
- Graham Mackay (Western Suburbs, Penrith, Syd Roosters, South QLD, Gold Coast, Manly)
- John Carlaw (Hunter Mariners, Melbourne, Balmain, Wests Tigers, NZ Warriors, St George/Illawarra)
- John Elias (Newtown, South Sydney, Canterbury, Western Suburbs, Syd Roosters, Balmain)
- Dale Shearer (Manly, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sth QLD, Syd Roosters, Nth QLD)
- Scott Wilson (South Sydney, North Sydney, Canterbury, Gold Coast, Western Reds, North QLD)

You'd have to count Balmain and west tigers as one
disagree.

They are separate entities, just as St George, Illawarra and St George/Illawarra are 3 different teams, and North Sydney/Manly/Northern Eagles. So, Balmain and Wests Tigers are classified as 2 separate teams

Why the f is there 2 threads now...

And yes answer is tyran smith
where's the 2nd thread?

Easts 88-89
