The sad thing about Garrick Morgan is that he is Jim "Pogo" Morgan's son. Pogo had some talent, playing 111 games for Souffs and the Rorters between 1965 and 1972 and only missed a place in the Easts team that we beat in the 1972 GF through injury. He also played 4 tests for Australia, 8 games for NSW and 3 games for Country. You'd have thought that some of that would have rubbed off on his son.........
Would that sprinter who played for the Rorters in the mid-90's, Shane Whereat count? One of the fastest players I've seen, but other than that he was next to useless. While former Olympic and Commonwealth games 400 metre sprinter Darren Clarke had the good sense to go back to running after having a go at Balmain.
Jeff Fenech when he had a stint as the Speels reserve grade hooker. Like Clarke 2 years later, Fenech quickly realised that his talent was in another field, or ring in his case.
Former Cronulla and Souffs winger Eion Crosson comes to mind. Lucky he could kick goals......
What about Lee Oudenryn? His only claim to fame was beating Martin Offiah in that sprint race at Parramatta Stadium back in 1992. And even then there were rumours (started I believe by Benny Elias) that Offiah had tanked so his Lions team mates could collect big money from the bookies.
