Schools to have produced both an AFL and NRL player

[mikey127]

Heard Kieran Briggs say he went to school with Ryan Papenhuzen from Storm. Got me thinking there can't have been many schools that have had both an AFL and NRL player go there does anyone know of any others?

Heeney possibly could have. Would satsat QLD would be the most likely state for this as most NSW aussie rules player come from the South of NSW. Think the few Victorians to play NRL are from public schools and most Aussie rules players are from private schools. Not sure about the few WA NRL players. Think Joel Ready is the only SA NRL player and prob moved when he was young as believe his Dad coached the Rans when they existed.

Lindsay Thomas went to my High school.

He is the best player produced from my high school. lol

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Barker College has Mitchell Pearce and Isaiya Katoa in the NRL and they had a kid who was picked up by the Swans but I can’t remember his name or whether he ever played a senior game.

Knox has Troy Dargan and Bailey Simonsson for the NRL, and for AFL, Braeden Campbell, current Swans player, and Luke Parks who apparently played 8 games for Carlton.

Eugene Kruger is who you’re thinking of.

Newington College produced Dane Rampe and Cam Murray amongst other lower profile NRL players.

Ah yes, thanks, and it looks like Kruger had injury issues and never ended up playing a senior game.

I mean it depends what you mean by “produced”, when you’re a private school that simply buys dozens of the best child athletes as part of your **** measuring process, then it’s to be expected that many of them will go on to be professionals.

Aquinas doesn't have a policy of 'buying' players and have had athletes who've gone to other schools with offers of scholarships. A lot of their AFL products are country kids who have come through as boarders. They had a really good sports development coach named David Gault, but he has moved on to Scotch College. For a boys school is it one of the most affordable in Perth because it still tries to operate as a Catholic school.
