Players who missed out on Grand Final winning teams due to injury/suspension...

[BuffaloRules]

I'm not talking about guys that got injured half way through the season ( like Scott Hill and Robbie Kearns in 1999), but those that get injured/suspended very late in the season...

The only one I can think of is Steve Price in 2004...

 

[Inferno]

Carl Webb last year.

 

[Burwood]

Ricketson also missed out in 2004.

 

[The Horse]

John Lomax in 94

Not sure if you wanted Superleague as well, but Richie Barnett, missed the "Grand Final" through injury as well.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Yeah but I'm talking about the winning team...

 

[Marshall_magic]

Steve Price

 

[Timbo]

Lomax that sucked.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Can you recall when Lomax was suspended?

Was it the game before the GF?

 

[Choppies]

Ryan Cross 2002
Edit sorry didn't see late in the season till too late

 

[innsaneink]

Blocker?>???

Can you recall when Lomax was suspended?

Yep. Paul Osborne replaced him and had a blinder, too.

 

[Deacon]

Not injuried though Colin Ward was Panthers 18th man

 

[Jordan]

Peter Ryan for the Broncos in 98 if I recall correctly. I think he might have been suspended.

Michael Crocker - this year :sarcasm: (well nobody else mentioned him)

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Artie Beetson in 69 suspended

Michael Crocker - this year :sarcasm: (well nobody else mentioned him)

Grand final winning teams. I truely hope for his sake that the Storm lose on Sunday. I'd be disapointed for Michael to see him miss out on a premiership under such circumstances :sarcasm:


*cough*go the broncos*cough*

Jim Sedaris in 97 I think, was only a wee boy.

 

[strewth_mate]

Newcastle in 1997, in the game against Parra late in the season where Johns broke his ribs, Matt Gidley broke his leg... not particularly significant but it means that Johns would have otherwise not been the only surviving player from the 97 grand final (although now that MacDougall has come back...)

Greg Pierce -1978, Sharks Captain and Kangaroo suspended....

1978 - Thanks Hollywood ...
