Shane Whereat

Shane Whereat (born 10 June 1970) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1990s. His outstanding speed saw him mostly play on the Wing.

Playing career

After spending four seasons with the Roosters where he scored 12 tries in 35 games, he signed to play with the Parramatta Eels for the 1997 season. In the 1998 season, Whereat scored 2 tries in his side's 32-20 preliminary final loss to Canterbury-Bankstown at the Sydney Football Stadium. With less than 10 minutes to go in the game, Parramatta were winning the match 18-2 and looked certain to qualify for their first grand final since 1986. Canterbury then scored 3 tries in quick succession to take the game into extra-time and ultimately win the match. The game has been described as one of the biggest comebacks in the history of the game.

After spending three seasons with the Parramatta Eels, Whereat retired at the end of the 1999 season. He finished his stint with the Eels scoring 25 tries in 38 games.
