George Moroko (born 5 January 1957) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played for Western Suburbs, Cronulla and St. George in the early 1980s.

Biography

A Western Suburbs junior, Moroko had a stint in Brisbane playing for Souths, before being lured back to the Sydney club for the 1981 NSWRFL season.[2] He was used as a second rower at Western Suburbs, then switched to the front row when he played at Cronulla in 1983 and 1984.[citation needed]

Moroko, who captained Cronulla, finished his career with two first-grade games at St. George in 1985 and was captain of the club's reserves premiership that year.[3]

His son, Nick, played in the Toyota Cup for Cronulla.[4]
