Nepotism Thread: Players who only got a go because of their father

[coolumsharkie]

Lincoln Raudonikis
Scott Fulton
Jared Anderson

I remeber the great Jack Gibson saying "Scott Fulton got some help didnt he?" At the height of the Super League fiasco.

Shannon McDonnell - father was recruitment manager at the Tigers for a while, absolute spud.

Holy shit how could I forget him. Grew up playing with and against him and was always one of the better players in our comp but never imagined he would play first grade.

Spoke volumes that at about 23 he left the club and no other NRL clubs wanted a bar of him. Also spoke volumes that fans were adamant that Beau f**king Ryan was a much better winger.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Lol. Looks like the poor kid has had a stroke.

 

[wittyfan]

Nathan Cleary
Kane Cleal
Jared Anderson

 

[Wild Wilbur]

Scott Sattler

 

[jiorl]

i've heard Scott Fulton is a real jerk

 

[T-Boon]

Jason Taumololo and his dad Allan Langer

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Shane Endacott for sure.

The Goodwin brothers probably have a case too.

Honorary mention to Blake Lazarus and uncle Glenn.

Nnnn-na na, yeh! Ddddnad jnust sna sna snays ta rnun hnard!

Jarrad Anderson definitely - worst centre to ever play for Cronulla.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Not his Dad but Matt Minto had big shoes to fill in his GOAT uncle Scott

Not disputing that he was crap but after leaving the Tigers, he went to the Knights and played 29 First Grade games there.

Nathan and ivan are together now and will do well.

Kind of reverse nepotism in this case. The Panthers wouldn't have gone near Ivan again if it wasn't for Nathan.

 

[BM1979]

Freddy could have only got a job at channel nine because of Phillip Ronald Gould. (Although I am not sure Phillip is his father or a wannabe lover) I need 27 beers to have a clue WTF Freddy is saying.

Surely Hodges dad has to work at Fox Sports somewhere aswell

 

[Hawkins]

Daniel Mortimer.

huh, I thought he was just the water boy!

 

[Peet]

I remeber the great Jack Gibson saying "Scott Fulton got some help didnt he?" At the height of the Super League fiasco.

Gibson said that after Scott Fulton received the largest ARL 'loyalty payment' out of ANY Manly player. What a joke that was!

 

[Peet]

Shane Endacott for sure.

The Goodwin brothers probably have a case too.

No. Luke & Bryson Goodwin were naturally gifted players. Maybe Bronx got a few bucks extra due to his name.

After the weekends results, maybe i spoke too soon.

Regrettably nepotism is all throughout our game. I know back in Townsville, it is important young guys play for Brothers (or to a lesser extent Centrals). If you don't play for Brothers, you can kiss (junior) representative selection and Cowboys scholarships good bye.
