Off the top of my head.

Hazem El Masri
Robbie Farah
Josh Mansour
Reece Robinson

Ben Barba has Afghani heritage I believe
Aidan Sezer has a Turkish father.

There would be heaps more.

The above listed in bold are Lebanese. You can add Tim Mannah to that group.

Lebanon is in the Middle East, not Asia.

The above mentioned are Arabs or Phoenecians, not Asians.

Middle East is not a continent, Lebanon is in the Middle East but on the continent of Asia.

25% of Samoans have Chinese ancestry, so there will be a few in the NRL

Yep Tim Simona is clearly Asian as f**k. You just need to take one look at him. He can barely open his eyes.

Also I'm pretty sure Josh McGuire is Samoan, Korean, Bangladeshi, Namibian, Amazonian.

The Middle East is not exclusively in Asia, countries that are in the Middle East fall inside the boundaries of three continents. Lebanon is in Asia though.

What a pack of donkies we have on here.

Asia starts on the eastern side of the Bosphorous. Lebanon is on the western side of the Bosphorous.

When Ken Sio left the NRL, the NRL lost a huge Asian ethnic component. Ken Sio may say that he is from New Zealand or Samoa, but he has ethnic Chinese written all over him.

If we could identify everyone in the NRL who has a Chinese parent then we could use those players to jump start rugby league in China. If China became a rugby league nation it could eventually become the dominant rugby league power. We would then have millions of players in the game, and that could sweep rugby union into the dustbin of history.

Just like the example of Yao Ming has led to an explosion of interest in basketball in China, leading inexorably to China becoming the dominant basketball nation on the world.
