A-Hyphenated-Team

[40 nil]

Point of trivia: there is an increasing number of NRL players with hyphenated surnames. In the past, I think this phenomenon was perhaps more common in Union. Many of the players with hyphenated names are NZ/Polynesian. With idle time this morning, I decided to compile a team list of current NRL players with these surnames. Hardest positions to fill were halves & back rowers.

1. Tiuvasa-Sheck (Warriors)
   
2. Addo-Carr (Storm)
   
3. Nicoll-Klokstad (Raiders)
   
4. Kenny-Dowall (Knights)
   
5. Watene-Zalesniak, M. (Panthers)
   
6. Watene-Zalesniak, D. (Panthers)
   
7. Cherry-Evans (Sea Eagles)
8. Fonua-Blake (Sea Eagles)
   
9. Marshall-King (Dogs)
   
10. Warea-Hargreaves (Roosters)
    
11. Harawira-Naera (Dogs)
    
12. Chee Kam Faitala-Mariner (Dogs)
13. Fisher-Harris (Panthers)
    
14. Harris-Tavita (Warriors)
    
15. Campbell-Gillard (Panthers)
    
16. Asofoa-Solomona (Storm)
    
17. Hamlin-Uele (Sharks)

Of these, the only player with whom I'm not familiar is Hamlin-Uele, a front rower from the Sharks

Drop the #17 then for our very own Dockar-Clay!

 

[MadMarcus]

NRL Chair Peter Beattie-Fuquit
NRL CEO Todd Greenberg-CUNextTuesday

Pangai junior, Tevita Harris, Faitala Mariner would prob make that 17

I considered Docker-Clay, but don't think he has played NRL yet - could happen this weekend if Api is ruled out. Interesting that ZDC is the great-grandson of Alec Dockar who played 7 tests for GB & England in 1946-47

Not sure that Pangai Junior is a hyphenated name. Not familiar with Faitala Mariner

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Surely Darius Boyd-Bennett gets a start

They could, but you left out their hyphen's so ruled ineligible on a technicality.

 

[TokyoEagle]

Not a bad team at all.

 

[The '47ers]

Not a bad team at all.

Hate to be calling the game though

PS: I think you'll find Chee Kam isn't a hyphenated name either.

Thank you, mistakenly wrote Harris-Tevita in my team. Not sure that Pangai Junior is a hyphenated name. Not familiar with Faitala Mariner

Tomato tomata lol

Correct, I saw his name in one place hyphenated - should have checked. Therefore need to replace him in the second row with Faitala-Mariner
