Interesting Luke Brooks trivia ... maybe

[MacDougall]

This is going to be a bit odd but Luke Brooks is set to play his second first grade game against the same club he played his first against. Considering the way the league is drawn it is very rare for a team to play another team two games in a row. Is it possible he'll be the first player ever to play his first two first grade games against the same club?

He has double the amount of first grade experience as he did when he played the dragons last time. Lets hope he plays twice as good too.

And sets up twice the amount of tries

 

[tigergirlz]

Or will the Dragoons be twice as prepared?

Lets hope he plays the way he played against them the last time he played them.

Given:
1\. the number of people who have played NRL over the years
2\. the number of people who are on the fringe of first grade, who only get to play the odd game here or there
3\. the finite amount of teams in the comp,

I'd be very surprised if Brooks was the first.

 

[innsaneink]

Hes not the first

very weird that one

 

[pHyR3]

i dont understand, the team played cronulla twice in 2 weeks?? that's odd

 

[MacDougall]

Well now I just want to know how many there are. If the last one was a random guy in 1995 who did it because for some strange reason the same two teams played back to back games then I imagine it's even more rare since Brooks isn't doing it in those circumstances.

 

[Juro]

Have had a dig around, and Brooks isn't even the first player from the Wests Tigers to play his first 2 games against the same opponent.

Troy Wozniak started his career for Balmain in 1999, playing in rounds 6 and 13 off the bench, both games against the Bears.

Yeh thered be a few by the looks of things….I spent 5 mins on Magpies scorers before
I found one...Gordon Stettler v Annandale in 1919 & 1920

The trouble with those really old players is that the website only seems to list games where they scored points. There are so many players who only have 1 or 2 games listed.

Just heard David Middleton on the footy show say the the last person to do this was Eddy Pettybourne v The Cowboys
