Maurie Raper is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played as a five-eighth in the 1960s and 1970s for Penrith and Cronulla-Sutherland in the NSWRL premiership.
Raper played his junior rugby league for Canterbury and Western Suburbs before joining newly admitted club Penrith in 1967.
Penrith went on to finish second last in their inaugural season avoiding the wooden spoon which was awarded to fellow new side Cronulla.
Raper spent 4 years at Cronulla but missed out on the entire 1973 season due to injury.
After leaving Cronulla at the end of 1974, Raper went to play in the local Wollongong competition for a few years before retiring.
