Worst player to have won a premiership?

What I think is a more interesting questions is, which player won a premiership but played the least amount of first grade games? There is bound to be some blokes who played only a handful of first grade games in their career yet managed to jag a spot in a grand final side that won. And I'm not talking about union converts in the early days or blokes who came from the old BRL who were essentially first graders but in a different comp. I mean blokes who got promoted from reggies for a few games but just happened to do it at the right time.

Will Hopoate? Played only 19 games and played State of Origin... what a waste of talent to leave.

2002 Premiership game had Andrew Lomu (replaced Kidwell who was unavailable) on for the Roosters and Mark Tookey on for the Warriors

That's a pile of shite on both sides

John Rheinberger wins that award hands down.

His one and only first grade game was the Roosters' 1975 Grand Final win over the Dragons (38-0).

Easy. John Rheinberger, Easts 1975 GF - his only first grade match.
