are you related to a football player in the NRL of lower grades, or do you know of anyone unobvious that is related ???

I Know a couple

Rod Silva(Bulldogs) Uncle of Anthony(Ex-Dragons) and Beau Mundine(Canberra)
Ricky Walford (Dragons) Uncle of Nathan Merritt (Rabbitohs)
Preston Campbell (Titans) Cousin of Owen Craigie (Ex-Rabbits) and possibly Amos Roberts (Roosters) (ive heard rumours about roberts being related to campbell but not 100% sure.)
Steve Price (Warriors) Brother in Law of Brent Tate (Broncos)
Wayne Bennett (Broncos Coach) Father in Law of Ben Ikin (Panelist, ex Bears Player)

the last two are pretty open, but i dont know if anyone knew of first three.

I am related somewhere in the family tree to Damon Alley-Tovio (Raiders), my aunty researched it recently. not 100% sure.

a mate of mine is distant related to Charlie Tonga (Roosters).

Campbell, Blacklock and Craigie are all interrelated to the likes of Inglis and Roberts. They're all from the Munro clan I believe. Cousins and half cousins etc.

My old man played bush footy and got smashed by Pop Clay once.

That's as close as I get.

Not that I know of.

I had thought the Perenara's were Maori though, just checked and realised they had played (or at least been selected for) Samoa, so I guess that makes it a vague possibility. They might be in some way related to SBW's Samoan Dad, John Williams.

I'm only related to him through his Aussie born white Grandma and my Aussie born white Grandma, his NZ born white Mum and my NZ born white Dad. Don't really know about his Dad's side.

My grandmother had our family tree done about 10 years ago and we had a heap of relatives in the newwie/kurri kurri area. Matt and Andrew are distant cousins (2nd-3rd).
