Greg Alexander Biography

Greg Alexander is one of the most popular and richest Rugby League Player who was born on March 4, 1965 in Penrith, New Zealand. The end of 1986’s NSWRL season, he was to his 1986 Kangaroo tour. He was selected following the fact that Parramatta Eric Grothe, a winger from Parramatta, was ruled out of the tour due to an injury to the knee. Alexander was able to take part in 10 games in the tours with the Kangaroos and scored 10 tries and scoring 5 goals. Alexander as well as test-hooker Royce Simmons became the first Panthers chosen for a Kangaroo Tour. 1989 saw him make it to the team as a player for New South Wales in the 1989 State of Origin series, being among only a handful of Blues players that were thought to be playing effectively in the series which was won 3-1 by Queensland prior to being selected as the first halfback of choice in Australia’s tour of midseason to New Zealand. Alexander made his test debut in the first test, which was a 26-6 victory against New Zealand at the Queen Elizabeth II Park in Christchurch and then taking part in the second test’s 8-0 victory in Rotorua, Alexander lost his position in the team as the coach Bob Fulton preferring his 1987 Manly-Warringah premiership winning halfback, Des Hasler, in the role for the final test.

With Alexander in great form at both halfback and fullback for the Panthers, the club made it to their first ever Grand Final in 1990 against the defending premiers Canberra. The Panthers went down 18–14 to the Raiders and despite a solid performance, Alexander’s goal kicking let him down on the day, only kicking one of his four attempts compared to Canberra captain Mal Meninga who landed all three of his attempts. Despite his good form, Alexander was only selected to the bench for game 3 of the 1990 State of Origin series and missed selection in Australia’s mid-season tests against France and New Zealand.

Alexander actually played a test on the 1990 Tour against France on the wing, scoring a try and capping it off with a memorable gymnastics style backflip in celebration. This was also his last test appearance.

Then at the end of the season, he was chosen for the 2nd Kangaroo Tour in the role of backup fullback to Canberra as well as Queensland Custodian Gary Belcher and went on to be chosen for each game of the tour however, in contrast to Terry Lamb who played in every game during the tour of 1986, Alexander, along with the other substitutes for the Kangaroos on the time (David Gillespie Des Hasler and Mark Sargent) didn’t leave the bench for the second test match, which was 14-10, over Great Britain at Old Trafford which kept the Ashes the series going. He was also not able to make it out of the bench during the third match in the series against Wigan. Alexander was the top scoring point for the Kangaroos during the tour, playing 17 matches (4 tests, however he was selected for all five tests) with 14 tries, and scoring 50 goals, resulting in an overall score of 156 points. The nearest teammate in points was captain Mal Meninga who scored 64 points (8 attempts, 16 goals) from 11 games. He scored an all-time high of 46 points during the game in the match against France B (5 13 goals, 13 tries) at Lyon and then continued his form to the opening test against France three day later, in Avignon when , after being brought on to replace ill Ricky Stuart at halfback early in the game , he scored 3 attempts and kick 7/8 goals during the Kangaroos 60-4 victory, giving his personal best with 28 goals.

Alexander was the first player to make his grade debut with the Panthers in 1984 as half-back. His potential quickly became apparent and at the close of the season, he picked his Rookie of the Award of the Year. The following season, Greg maintained his performance throughout the season, racking 194 points (a club record at the time) and securing his 1985 Dally M. player of the year award. Greg continued to play for the Panthers throughout the following years and became famous for his ability to score points and make scores, his skillful attack kicking, and his strong defense.

During the 1989 NSWRL season, his pace and skill had made Penrith the second most dangerous attacking team in the competition behind the eventual premiers, the Canberra Raiders and Alexander was the Panthers leading try and point scorer and for much of the year led the league in try scoring – scoring ten tries in eight games at one point, eventually finishing with 15 tries from 18 games for the season. Alexander would eventually finish second on the try scoring list finishing behind Canberra fullback Gary Belcher who scored 17 tries. Alexander finished ahead of other noted try scorers including Andrew Ettingshausen (Cronulla), Ricky Walford (St George) and Phil Blake (South Sydney). Penrith’s form saw them reach the finals for the first time since his rookie year in 1984, reaching the knockout Minor Semi-Final before ending their season with a 27–18 loss to Canberra.

On 21 June 1992, his younger brother and fellow Panthers teammate Ben Alexander was killed in a car accident. The tragic loss of the younger Alexander had an adverse effect on the close-knit Panthers club and the team’s form dropped off in the second half of the year which saw them miss the finals. Greg Alexander missed the majority of fixtures that year, playing only 9 games for the season (including two from the bench) and following his brother’s death would not return to the side until their Round 20 match against Manly-Warringah at Brookvale Oval in August. After his return he continually fell below his usual playing weight of 84 kg and ended the season ten kilograms lighter than usual.

1992 was a year of huge expectation for Alexander and the reigning premiers Penrith. Whilst the Panthers form was up and down at the beginning of the season, Alexander was named as captain and fullback of the City Origin side, ahead of incumbent NSW captain Benny Elias. This led to Alexander being the favourite to take over the Blues captaincy for that year’s State of Origin series against Queensland. However, a knee injury lead to Alexander being withdrawn from the match, and Country Origin captain Laurie Daley would go on to successfully captain the NSW side to a 2–1 series win, with Alexander missing all three games due to his knee injury. Selectors stuck with Stuart at half and Ettingshausen at the back.

Later a majestic sideline conversion of Royce Simmons’ 2nd try of the game sealed the win for the Panthers. The Phil Gould coached Panthers never fell below 4th on the ladder for the season (Round 2) and never lost the competition lead after regaining it following Round 14 of the 22 round season.

At the end of the 1994 season after playing in just 13 games for the Panthers (mostly at fullback as the club had signed New Zealand test halfback Gary Freeman from Easts), Alexander, seeking a change and to just get away from Sydney following the death of his brother Ben in 1992, joined the Auckland Warriors, one of four new teams introduced for the 1995 season. He spent most of the first half of his first season for the Warriors at halfback, and began to recapture some of his previous form. In the latter half of the season he moved between fullback, halfback and five-eighth due the depth the Warriors had in the halves – with Gene Ngamu, Stacey Jones, Phil Blake and Frano Botica all spending some time at halfback or five-eighth. In his second season with the club, he was awarded the captaincy after Dean Bell retired, and again began the season at halfback. However, after he was injured in Round 10, New Zealand halfback Stacey Jones regained the half back role, and upon returning to the side Alexander was moved to the fullback position – where he would remain for most of the remaining season.

During the season he was selected at fullback for NSW in Games I and III of the 1991 State of Origin series, only missing Game II at the Sydney Football Stadium through injury. Despite his good form for Penrith and NSW and the absence of Gary Belcher through injury, Alexander was overlooked for the first test of mid-season Trans-Tasman Test series against New Zealand in favour of boom Brisbane and Qld fullback Paul Hauff, while he also missed selection in the final two games when selectors chose Andrew Ettingshausen. With Origin halfbacks Ricky Stuart and Allan Langer also in good form (Langer played) and Des Hasler in the team as a utility reserve, Alexander was only considered a chance of playing fullback in the tests. Following the Panthers Grand Final win over Canberra, Alexander was selected for Australia’s 5 game tour to Papua New Guinea but withdrew through injury. He recovered from injury in time to lead the Panthers to England in October for the 1991 World Club Challenge, which was lost to Wigan 21–4 at the Anfield Stadium.

Alexander eventually returned to Penrith in 1997 after his stint in New Zealand and stayed on until his retirement in 1999.
