Nathan Blacklock

A remarkable try machine and scorer of one of the great Grand Final tries — his effort from fullback in 1999 when he gathered a kick through by Melbourne halfback Brett Kimmorley and exploded through players from both teams to race 60 metres and score under the posts. Originally from Tingha in the NSW Northern Tablelands, broke Tommy Ryan’s 44-year-old Dragons tryscoring record when he crossed for 27 tries in 2001. Three-time Dally M winger of the year, 1999 to 2001. Scored 20 or more tries in a season every year from 1998 to 2001. For long periods in these seasons, it was rare for a game to be completed without him scoring at least one try. His final NRL try was his 100th for St George Illawarra, the first man to reach this milestone for the joint venture

Played a total of 137 games for St George and St George Illawarra
