Mark Gasnier
SI, 2000-2007,
123 games.
75t, 8g (316pts).

Winger. Centre. Five Eighth.
Height: 192cm.
Aust rep (2001 & 2005-2006).
NSW rep (2004-2006).
City Origin rep in 2001.
Born 19 July 1981 in Sydney. A St George junior (Renown United).
Scored a try on debut (vs Newcastle at Marathon, March 24, 2000) and went on to become one of the best centres in the competition before injury intervened to hamper his career.
A tremendous player of great potential, Gasnier was finally selected as centre for NSW State of Origin in 2004, but he was publicly dumped for sending lewd mobile phone messages whilst in Origin camp. He was then recalled into the NSW squad for the third and deciding match of the series, scoring two tries and breaking his collarbone in what was his State of Origin debut.
In 2005, Mark Gasnier cemented his NSW Origin centre spot alongside team mate Matt Cooper, playing in all three matches of the series. Both players were also selected for Australia with Gasnier playing in all five Test matches for the Kangaroos in the 2005 Tri-Nations series including the Tri-Nations Final at Elland Road in Leeds. On the same tour, Gasnier also played for Australia in a one-off Test match against France in Perpignan.
In 2006, the Gasnier side-step proved too elusive for many a defender as 'Gaz' topped the try scoring list for the Dragons with 18 tries.
Also in 2006, he was again selected for NSW, playing in all three State of Origin clashes. In the same year he played in all six Tests for the Kangaroos, including the Anzac Test match against New Zealand as well as every match for Australia in the Tri-Nations.
Following a wave of publicity, where rugby union officials attempted to lure Gasnier over to the Wallabies, the 25-year-old finally agreed to terms in May of 2006, Gasnier signing a lucrative contract which would see him remain a Dragon until 2011.
In 2007, Gasnier was named co-captain (alongside Jason Ryles and Ben Hornby). In addition, the star centre was named at five-eighth following Trent Barrett's departure in 2006. Unfortunately, Gasnier sufffered a shoulder injury (torn pectoral muscle) in the pre-season Charity Shield trial which saw him sidelined until round 19.
In 2008, Gasnier has been named as sole captain and is tipped to return full time to his more customary centre position.

A brilliant attacker and rare talent, 'Lord Ted' captured the imagination of crowds whenever he played. From fullback, he scored a miraculous try in the historic 1977 drawn Grand Final (later dubbed the 'game of the century').

While scoring one his trademark solo tries, 'Lord Ted' kicked ahead and dived on the ball just inside the dead ball line. Such was his determination that he hit the ground hard and knocked himself out in the process.
He backed up the next week and scored six goals and a field goal in Saints 22-0 victory over Parramatta.

Went on to captain-coach Parkes and Forbes to three premierships in the Group 11 competition before moving to Perth and helping to set up the ill-fated Western Reds franchise.

Clint Greenshields played in the 2004 Premier League grand final and was winner of 2004 'Mark Coyne Award' – Premier League (second grade) player of the year.
In 2004, he gained rep honours with the NSW Residents
In 2005, Greenshields played extensively at fullback in the first grade after regular fullback Ben Hornby moved to halfback to fill in for the injured Mathew Head.
Greenshields extended his stay at Saints, signing a one year contract for 2006. He played 18 NRL matches that year, proving to be a reliable custodian and a lethal attacking weapon. Greenshields scored seven tries, including two doubles in rounds 10 and 26.
In the same year, speculation circulated that Greenshields was set to sign with the Gold Coast Titans for 2007. But the 24-year-old ultimately agreed to terms with the French-based ESL club Catalan Dragons, coached by former St George fullback and second grade coach Mick Potter.
