Since we sort of diverted to cricket there with Allan Border... I was in the same class as Michael Kasprowicz, wasn't a bad rugby player either.

They still are a walkover, but in 97 they sure weren't.

 

[The Brizz]

My cousin went to high school in Yamba with Luke Douglas and he is one of his best mates. Also my girl friend was in the year below Kris Kahler in Gympie, lol they are from Gympie.

 

[The Brizz]

On a personal note though, I went to a brand new school so we are starting from scratch and most of the kids there (even more so now) are more interested in drugs than sport.

[Broncos08]

I'm not sure about any NRL players from my school, but I used to play for Woodridge out of Meakin park where Darren Smith used to play.

My cousin Stuart Henry was in line for Origin selection in '95 only to be pipped by Ben Ikin.

And my dad used to be friends and went to school with Mark Harris, who played for the Roosters then went to the U.S to play American footy. I remember we used to go Mud Crabbing with Mark when I was a lad.

My brother played footy with Billy Dart in the same team for Woodridge, Billy went to play for the Roosters. He had a lot of potential on the field, but he had a problem with stealing cars, the fool.

Mark Leafa
Henry Faafili
John Kirwan
Motu Tony

I got nothing... closest was Carl Webb who went to High School at Dalby (nearly an hour away)... his step-sister went to my school (couple years below me), she was a very talented swimmer.

That'd be a first [icon_wink .

Hey what about Benny Ross? Wait.. i don't think my time frame is right.

I've got nothing also.
