I went to a cricket match which featured a team of Indigenous NRL players against an up and coming rep cricket team... for some sort of charity at the SCG in January 2011
Met the following players; Wendell Sailor, Scott Prince, Jamal Idris, Greg Bird, Greg Inglis, Preston Campbell, Ben Barba, Jharal Yow Yeh, Ryan James, Nathan Merritt, Shannon Walker, Jono Wright, Michael Lett, George Rose.
The best one would of been George Rose. Real light-hearted man. Funny bloke
Wendell, Preston Campbell, Greg Bird were also good too.
Ben Barba, Jharal were surprisingly a bit reserved. As was GI
The worst of all was Nathan Merritt by a mile. Asked him what did he think of Sandow back when he used to play for Souths and he just responds back with "he's a halfback". Thanks scoop.
Wendell Sailor lives up the road from me and I've seen him a couple of times too. See a fair few Dragons players in Crown street Mall or one of the cafe's on the beach in Wollongong. Sharks player Jeremy Smith still lives in Wollongong and lives across the road from my mate (used to live with Kalifa Fai-Fai Loa too) and see him regularly at my local Woolworths, Ben Creagh is there regularly too. He copped a bit of flak after the 2009 Origin series when he ran like a cat away from Hodgo lol
