Father / Son duos in the NRL

[Wizardman]

While I am watching Billy Walters be Billy Walters, I thought about the father/son thing in the NRL.

What is the most blatant example of nepotism you have ever seen in first grade rugby league? Im not even necessarily talking about the worst son to play first grade. Im asking which coach had exploited his position the most to allow their son to play in first grade?

 

[The Man Shake]

Wayne Bennett and Darius Boyd.

 

[yobbo84]

Chris and Ben Anderson... right?

 

[soc123_au]

Bozo and whatever his retread son was called

Bullfrog shafting Gus so Kevin could be coach.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Shane and Kyle Flanagan

 

[soc123_au]

Good father son combos

John & Marty Lang
Ivan & Nathan Cleary

PENRITH BABY!!

 

[Wizardman]

Chris and Ben Anderson... right?

I think Jarryd Anderson (his other son) was a worse player.

Scott Fulton is my pick. He played close to 50 games for Manly and was part of an insanely strong squad with depth everywhere.....except at hooker obviously.

Without the bloodlines, there is no way in the world he plays first grade.....he was very, very ordinary.

Ricky Stuart just demands another thread on LU be devoted to him.

 

[ayatollah_murdoch]

Brad Arthur gets a nod

 

[Saxon]

Chris and Ben Anderson... right?

Chris and Jarrad Anderson too.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Awen Guttenbeil strongly recommended Stacey Jones to Bozo when he was at Manly. Bozo said nah I've got my son.

Bullfrog punted Gus so his son in law could coach the dogs Chris Anderson

 

[Wb1234]

Loads of them

wishart
Furner
Pearce
Roach (dunno how many games his son played or if it was reserve grade)
Preston Campbell and son
Sean garlick
Johnny and Aaron raper

I’m forgetting loads

You're right, was Gus tapped from playing in favour of Kevin? I remember the was something about Gus getting shafted because of him.

Dunno

I do remember when Kevin Moore was made coach people said they were playing favourites

he ended up being not so bad a coach
