Nathan Blacklock Biography

Nathan Blacklock is one of the most popular and richest Rugby League Wing who was born on April 4, 1976 in Tingha, New South Wales, Australia.

Blacklock began his professional career in 1995 at the Sydney City Roosters, before moving to the St George Dragons where he played between 1997 and 1998. In 1998, playing for the St George Dragons, he scored 20 tries from 22 games, the second highest in the competition that year. From 1999 to 2002, he played for the newly formed joint venture St George Illawarra Dragons. He played on the wing for the Dragons in their 1999 NRL Grand Final loss to Melbourne. In 1999, Blacklock scored 24 tries from 24 matches, the highest that year. Blacklock was the top try scorer in the Australian National Rugby League competition for three consecutive seasons whilst playing for the St George Illawarra Dragons between 1999 and 2001. It was the first time since the 1920s in Australian rugby league that a player had topped the try scoring list for three consecutive seasons. Blacklock was the first ever player to score 20 or more tries in 4 consecutive seasons.

In 2000 Blacklock scored 25 tries from 26 matches. In 2001 he scored an incredible 27 tries from 28 matches, thereby completing his treble as top try scorer. At the end of the 2001 NRL season, Blacklock went on the 2001 Kangaroo tour. Blacklock was first selected for the Australian team in 2001, scoring two tries in Australia’s 54-12 win over Papua New Guinea. He played one further Test, the Third Test against Great Britain at Wigan in 2001. Blacklock was controversially omitted from the NSW Blues 2001 State of Origin team despite being the stand out winger of the competition. State selectors claimed that Blacklock’s omission was necessary due to his small size and possible deficiencies in defence, because he would have to mark up against larger wingers such as Wendell Sailor or Lote Tuqiri. Ironically the NSW Blues lost the series 2-1 and were humiliated in game 3 at AAMI Stadium by 40-14, where QLD wingers Lote Tuqiri and Wendell Sailor, as well as QLD centre Chris Walker ran riot over the selected NSW wingers Adam MacDougall and Jamie Ainscough, Ainscough coincidentally Blacklock’s Dragons wing partner.
