10 Players That You Don’t Remember Representing Australia (NRL)

I played for my country, it’s what every young rugby league player aspires to accomplish. These players earned that opportunity to play for Australia, but unfortunately, not many fans actually remember them pulling on a green and gold jersey. For this list, the player must have played only one game for Australia in the NRL era and we will go into detail about how they earned their Kangaroos jersey and how they went in their one match for Australia.

Very surprised Semi Radradra didn't make this list. That was super controversial and not many remember that he actually represented Australia.

Even as a huge Parra fan i thought him playing for Straya was wrong. I dunno how anyone can choose to play for another country in any sport. Some situations are different, like Uzzie Khawaja & Marnus in cricket as they came to Straya as young kids but the likes of Victor Radley that always said he wanted to play for NSW even tho he hadda dual passport so he was eligible for the Poms but then changes his mind when he knew he possibly wouldn't be picked for the kangaroos

I remember most of them playing for Australia once don't forget Brett Stewart played for Australia once in 2007 test two weeks after Melbourne storm beat his manly team and got knocked out buy Michael crocker and he scored a try against new Zealand when Australia won 58 to 0 in Wellington

After Manly's 2008 premiership win and his great form at fullback, Snake actually got picked for the Kangaroos World Cup squad as the first choice fullback ahead of Billy Slater. Unfortunately a shoulder injury ruled him out and with the next two years punctuated by the false rape allegation against him and his two ACL injuries, it gave Slater the chance to cement the spot. Stewart would actually get selected for the Four Nations after Manly's 2011 premiership, but again injury ruled him out of the tournament. Sadly that was the last opportunity he got to play in the green and gold.

The one I remember most was Semi Radradra being controversially selected for Australia in the 2016 Anzac test. He played again later that year for the PM's XIII so I don't know if that officially rules him out of this list.

Another one not remembered much was Richard Villasanti. Played 1 game against NZ in 2003. I still reckon Aus only picked him so NZ couldn't, as he was eligible for both, being Aus born and NZ raised.

@@StonedGossard_ I was wondering why they were using a union ball? The super league Aus ball back in the day looked like a Gilbert ball without markings, always wondered was it just a Gilbert barbarian with a super league logo And the softball to baseball analogy is a bit off, its more akin to using a different brand of rugby ball tbh. I've noticed way more difference between a Gilbert ball and say an Adidas ball than between a Gilbert union ball and a steeden league ball (Gilbert and steeden are owned by the same company so I'm guessing the raw materials are probably the same). To be honest the biggest difference between balls I've found was between the steeden training ball and match ball. But yeah the different ball would have been a little different for el masri
