A Queensland State of Origin representative {{rlp|fb}}, he previously played for the Penrith Panthers, with whom he won the 2003 NRL Premiership. BackgroundWesser is of Aboriginal and South Sea Islander (Vanuatuan) descent. Wesser began his rugby league career in the Queensland town of Rockhampton having moved there, with his junior club, the Rockhampton Brothers. At age 16, Wesser was selected for the Queensland Under 17s representative side. Wesser finished his schooling at Emmaus College, Rockhampton, and also helped his School side take out the Mal Meninga Under 19s Cup, being the fourth fastest 19-year-old in the state, running times around 100 metres in 11 seconds.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}} Professional playing careerPenrith PanthersDebuting in 1998 Wesser moved from his hometown of Rockhampton to the foot of the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, to play for the Penrith Panthers but he found trouble in pushing for a first-grade spot with Peter Jorgensen holding that title. Three years later Rhys was given the opportunity to play first grade with the departure of Jorgensen. Wesser scored ten tries in his debut season despite Penrith finishing last on the premiership table. In 2002, he scored a Penrith club record of nineteen tries, including three hat-tricks, and was dubbed "Rhys-Lightning" and soon became a crowd favourite with his acceleration and line-breaking ability. The following season Wesser bettered his own record by scoring on 25 occasions, earning the title of the most prolific try-scoring fullback for a season in the history of Australian rugby league. The Panthers won their second premiership title, thrashing the Sydney Roosters in the 2003 NRL grand final in which Wesser played at fullback. As 2003 NRL premiers, the Panthers travelled to England to face 2003 Super League champions, the Bradford Bulls in the 2004 World Club Challenge. Wesser played at {{rlp|fb}} in the Panthers' 22-4 loss. Wesser's try-scoring declined in 2004 with the addition of Amos Roberts to the squad but he still scored thirteen tries. Wesser was selected to play for Queensland in the 2004 State of Origin series. Wesser made the Aboriginal selection in the exhibition game against the New Zealand Māori side as part of the official opening of the 2008 World Cup on 26 October.[2] In 2008, Wesser announced that he would be joining the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2009 for a two-year deal.[3] Wesser's 113 tries is the most scored by any Penrith player. South Sydney RabbitohsIn only the second round of the 2009 season, his first with Souths, Wesser injured his knee.[4] He made his return to the field in the 2010 NRL season. On 12 August 2011, Wesser announced that he would be retiring at the end of the season.[5] He was unable to finish his final season of Rugby League due to another knee injury sustained late in the season.
