well considering it's just after 9am I would say that you've got massive problems of Parra Pete proportions and you should visit your local GP pronto!!

mm!! you could be right, you should try and answer the other 2 aswell...;-)

 

[hybrideel]

i would but then i'll have to ask some questions and that would require thought before my 3rd coffee and that just doesn't happen

1) Was it Aaron Raper in 1997? he sat on the bench never goton the field.

But surely he'd still be credited as a player, and he wouldn't be the only one in that situation I would think. I reckon it would have to be a player who was selected to play but had to withdraw through injury or suspension and ended up never playing an Origin... but nobody's popping into my head at the moment :?

The original question didn't ask who was the ONLY player , but becasuse this is a Parra thread , I was referring to Parra players.
Aaron Raper was selected for the second game of 1997 in Melbourne, Tom Raudonikis didn't use him at all , Johnny Raper was furious , and if you look at the list of State of Origin players , Aaron Raper's name does not appear.

1) Aaron Raper

2) Michael Errickson

3) John Mann

2. Back further
3. Not him either

Ready for some clues?

1 Raper

2 John Fernely

3 Steve White

 

[jono]

1 Raper

2 John Fernely

3 Steve White

Not Fearnley

Don't think Steve White EVER played a 1st grade game , a lot of u23s and maybe FG for Penrith?

Steve White is #362 - he probably came on as a replacement late in a game.

1) Raper

2) Mark Bugden

3) I'll go with Pat Hundy this time.

 

[jono]

Not Bugs jnr , not Pat Hundy - Hundy had a fairly long stint with the Magpies

 

[mickdo]

Clues needed I think...

 

[jono]

2. Was also an official at the Knights in the late nineties and early noughties
3. Was prone to pick a pocket or two
