Braith Anasta Biography

Braith Anasta is one of the most popular and richest Rugby League Five- Eighth who was born on January 14, 1982 in Old Bar, New South Wales, Australia. Braith Anastasakis (Greek: Mpreith Anastasakes ) popularly referred to as Braith Anasta (born on 14th January, 1982) is a former Greek- Australian professional footballer in the league of rugby who was an eight- eighth and a lock in the 2000s and the 2010s. He was an Australian and a Greek international.

Although Anasta’s Greek heritage via his father has made him eligible to be a member of the Greek national team of rugby league, Anasta initially pledged his allegiance to his mother’s nation in Australia. From 2001 on, Anasta has played representative soccer with City Origin, New South Wales and Australia.

Anasta made his City Origin debut on the 10th May 2002 at Eric Weissel Oval, Wagga Wagga in a 26–16 win for City. Anasta would make 7 appearances for City over his career, winning a total of 4 series.

Anasta was a regular in the New South Wales team from 2002. He made his Origin debut on 22 May in Game One of the 2002 series, coming off the bench as the Blues easily beat Queensland 32–4. Anasta was promoted to start five-eighth for Game Two of the series, filling in for the injured Trent Barrett. While he scored his first Origin try in the match, the Blues lost 26–18 and the series was levelled at 1–1. When Barrett returned from injury, Anasta was left out of the side entirely, with Scott Hill being favoured for the third match of what ended up being a tied series.

Following his impressive year in the 2001 campaign, Anasta was selected in the Australian team to play in The 2001 Kangaroo Tour. It was during this trip that Anasta was able to make the International debut, making his appearance from the bench during Australia’s 54-12 defeat of Papua New Guinea at Lloyd Robson Oval on October 7, 2001. Anasta was later selected for every single game in Australia’s 1-1 Ashes victory against Great Britain. With Anasta being left on the bench for each match, Australia fought back from an 1-0 deficit. Anasta contributing to the cause by scoring a goal during Australia’s victory of 40-12 at the end of the first Test.
