Which players only ever got a go due to their father being coach or part of the club.

Ben (Storm) and Jarrad (Sharks) Anderson - Chris Anderson

Although he was bog standard and forced matt king to melb, he actually ended up being out top point scorer that season. Mind you he was kicking at around 65% so maybe someone else shouldve taken over.

Bozos kids Scott and ben fulton were worse no doubt

I was watching a game from '97 recently and Manly had Toovey, Lyons, Field and Sedaris as options in the spine yet Scott Fulton was 9 and Lyons was on the bench. Unbelievable.

Not a direct relation, but McGregor played Jake Marketo in first grade for a full season, theoretically due to a close friendship with his father.

Lachlan Maranta perhaps. He was alright sometimes though.

It was worth watching him play just for the amount of shit Hodges would give him right after he f**ked up (which happened a lot).

Fancy being a team's top try scorer for the season and being dropped for the finals - that's how little faith Bennett had in him.
