Players who played in completely different positions

[roofromoz]

Lewis Brown was a NSW Cup hooker when we signed him and turned him into a second rower.

It explains the super-sub role he was playing last season at Penrith, with all of those darts out of dummy half...

 

[crocodile]

John Ribot 2nd Row / lock -> Wing
Steve Rogers Centre -> lock
Ben Smith Centre -> 2nd Row
King Wally 5/8 -> lock -> 5/8
Darren Lockyer FB -> 5/8
Beau Scott 2nd Row -> centre -> 2nd Row -> Centre - 2nd Row etc etc

Sure there's more

Shaun Berrigan played in the centres, 5/8, halfback, and hooker rolls

The one player I can think of that played probably every position on the field was John Plath. That guy was a super sub, it didn't matter where he player he did it well.

 

[elyod138]

Michael Morgan is a halfback and carved up at fullback this year, previously he had never played there.

 

[Danish]

Chris Flannery started a game in every position except prop I believe during his career.

Craig wing also played every position except prop and wing.

SBW won a man of the match award at halfback against the dogs in 2013

That was embarrassing for all involved (not the fight, that was just embarrassing for Johns). Chris Anderson had a huge hard-on for Kimmorley, meaning the world's best player wasn't good enough for his position. I went to school with the guy, and he was not a bad bloke and a very good player, but ridiculously second rate in comparison to Joey.

That's hardly an insult, just fact.

What????

Johns played at hooker because Toovey was selected at halfback.

Joey had also played at number 9 for Australia before this.

Pretty sure Wing played a few games on the wing for Souths before he came to us.

 

[Lambretta]

Was going to say Fittler but will go with Luke Ricketson who startes as an outside back and went to second row.

 

[DC_fan]

Mick Healey (1970s) prop to winger

 

[bad boy bubby]

Geoff Gerrard started his career in 1st grade as a centre before moving on to second row and finishing as a prop.

 

[TheDalek079]

another for Easts, Mark Potheroe (probably spelt that wrong) went from winger to second row

That was a little different because Johns still played halfback in attack but packed into the scrum.

 

[typicalfan]

Greg Eastwood played on the wing for the Broncos.

 

[Iafeta]

Lance Hohaia forged a very good and long career, he's wtill playing for St Helens. Played five eighth, halfback, centre, fullback, hooker.

 

[cooko]

Brett Plowman went from second row to wing at the broncos in the early 90s.

 

[Tommo]

John Ribot 2nd Row / lock -> Wing
Steve Rogers Centre -> lock
Ben Smith Centre -> 2nd Row
King Wally 5/8 -> lock -> 5/8
Darren Lockyer FB -> 5/8
Beau Scott 2nd Row -> centre -> 2nd Row -> Centre - 2nd Row etc etc

Should be 5/8 to FB. Lockyer was bought as a 5/8th but there was a certain player already there so he got shifted to FB. Although he played a couple of early games at 5/8.

 

[kdalymc]

Lol yeah I did see a classic sharks game the other day where Gallen had the 6 on his back, thinkin wtf...

 

[rabbitohs95]

Greg Eastwood played on the wing for the Broncos.

:crazy:

 

[THE CHAMP]

[WellsNZ]

Didn't Nightingale do some time at the Dragons coming off the bench in the forwards years back, even as a front rower if I recall.
