Craig Wing and Andrew Everingham both have Philipino heritage.
Everingham is part asian, then? I thought he was, but then assumed he was just an asian looking islander. He's a great player. That's awesome. Big fan of diversity in the league.
Nothing stopping asian guys from bulking up, either. This perception that they are all small framed and incapable of putting on muscle isn't exactly accurate.
Indeed there are quite a few second-generation asian kids who have now grown up to love footy. Im asian myself and just got out of high school; i knew/know a lot of asians who enjoy watching and playing, mostly touch anyway. Bulking up has never been a problem, height-wise.. well im a little challenged lol
If some Chinese kids do ever make the grade we could have some very funny names being called out during the game.
Warriors halfback Shaun Johnson is half Laotian, and I think there's been a few other asians here and there in the NRL.
Richard chee quee was a good...oops
