Some NRL players have Asian ethnicity, and could be used to help promote the game in Asia.

Current NRL players:

Shaun Johnson (mother is Laotian)
Kevin Gordon (mother is Filipina)
Matt Srama (mother is Filipina, father is Polish)
Luke Srama (mother is Filipina, father is Polish)
Yaw Kiti Glymin (mother is Burmese?)


Former NRL players:

Andrew Everingham (mother is Filipina)
Craig Wing (mother is Filipina)

Does anybody here know of any others?

The Broncos under 20's squad a few years ago had a player of full Asian ethnicity, I think his name was Tim Yee. I don't know if he played that many games.

I'm sure there were others before but Dennis Bendall played with Balmain in the 70's.

Was a schoolteacher, took his students on a camp, dived into a lake or river, broken spinal cord, career over - quad.

He was a real classy outside back.

I assume QLD great Matt Singh was of Indian descent...

Former Shark Danny Lee was from Guangdong province in China wasn't he?
