Outside of PENRITH has a father/son coach and player combo worked?

Fulton and Anderson had park footballers in first grade while the progeny of Flanno and Walters are sub first grade quality.

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
Craig & Dean Young, although both could bloody play.

The way Matt Elliott handled Adrian Purtell's place in first grade would indicate some form of relationship. Distant cousins maybe?

Scott Fulton is probably the winner. What about Ben Anderson (Chris Anderson's son) who played a few games while his Dad coached the Storm?

Just did... and yeah, I misinterpreted it.

The thread title is probably a main factor in the confusion.
To be fair, for the last 2 years Panthers fans have read one or 2 words in the title and just inserted PENRITH! as the response.

I see a lot of support for Scott Fulton and I get it, but as a couple of others have said, Jarrad Anderson and dad Chris at the Sharks, and here's why,
No. 1 the kid couldn't play at all
No. 2 and this is why this combo wins, the fallout from Steve Rogers refusing to re-sign Jarrad caused a massive gripe between two great mates, Sludge and Opes, which eventuated in Chris Anderson being sacked.
Bozo never got sacked because of Scott.

Bozo was untouchable for a time. Look up Nepotism in the dictionary and the description is just a pic of Bob Fulton, Scott getting as many games as he did, other Family getting cushy gigs, bog average Manly players getting rep jerseys, he ticked every box and probably invented a few more as well.
