Max Krilich OAM (born 25 October 1950 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian former rugby league footballer who played in the 1970s and 1980s.
Australian World Cup hooker Freddie Jones was the Manly captain when Krilich joined the club so he had to bide his time.
[4] When Jones lost form during the 1974 season, Krilich assumed the mantle of top hooker at the club from the eighth round onwards.
Despite his remarkable feat of being selected for City Seconds whilst still Manly's second-string rake, it would be another four seasons before Krilich was again given representative honours.
In 1982, after captaining New South Wales in the inaugural three-match State of Origin series, Krilich led Australia to victory in two Tests against New Zealand.
