John Rheinberger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Rheinberger (Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian former rugby league and rugby union footballer. He made just the one appearance for Eastern Suburbs (apart from a brief stint the previous week, when he came on as a replacement for the injured Mark Harris). That appearance came in the 1975 Grand Final in which Easts beat the St George Dragons 38-0. Rheinberger, who played in the centre position, was virtually plucked out of obscurity by coach Jack Gibson. Rheinberger had spent the early months of the 1974 season trialling with the Eastern Suburbs rugby union fourth grade side as a winger, Ironically they were unable to find a place for him.

John Rheinberger never played in another first grade match, suffering an injury in the following years pre-season.
