Remember when Jack Elsegood hit the scence with Manly.

For about 12months the Media, the NSWRL/ARL listed him as Barry Elsegood etc. then it came out that it was just a nickname, and the started calling him Jack.

I enjoyed reading this thread again.

The 'Ogre' was a good one for Mark O’Meley.
Norm ‘Sticks’ Provan, Reg ‘Puff’ Gasnier, Johnny ‘Chook’ Raper and Graeme ‘Changa’ Langlands.

Roy & HG came up with some beauties such as Glenn ‘The Brick With Eyes’ Lazarus,
Petro Civoniceva ‘Petrol Seventy-Cents-A-Litre’ , Brett ‘The Grassy Knoll’ Dallas,
Benny ‘The Crimean War’ Elias, and
Jason ‘Pastor’ Stevens.

From the Sea Eagles... After paying Cliffy Lyons the ultimate compliment in dubbing him ‘God’, they went on to name Steve Menzies ‘Jesus’, because he was always right there at God’s right hand.

Honourable mentions
Greg ‘Brandy’ Alexander
Steve ‘The Zip Zip Man’ Ella
Coen ‘Ivan Drago’ Hess
Mario ‘Maltese Falcon’ Fenech
Graham ‘Wombat’ Eadie
Josh ‘Tablecloth’ McGuire ‘Waltzing’ Matt Hilder.

What's some of the latest NRL nicks?
"The Chin"...is that just a forum thing or is it Nathan's official tag.
“The Cheese” Brandon Smith [like those big cheese rings they toll down hills]
"Johnny Bravo" Liam Knight... I can't see the resemblance.
"Grub" Josh Reynolds... apparently he doesn't shower that often.
Any more?

I played on a team with Always Green. He got the nickname “bludger” from the fellas because he is a f**king lazy merkin. Like on the field he would dog it.
He basically got kicked off a social team.
