3. World All-Stars Winner: The Indigenous All-Stars simply have more to play for, plus the inclusion of 2016 rookies Ash Taylor, Cody Walker and Bevan French will provide a spark to match the composure of Jonathan Thurston and Greg Inglis.

I'm surprised Nate Myles didn't get a mention , but it's only half in this instalment.

Biggest Dud Buy Ever!!!!

No never. That will always be the Eels purchase of new captain and future immortal Kieran Foran.

My bad, how could I forget so quickly!

 

[Wombat64]

OK, let's correct it .... Nate Myles biggest dud buy ever for Manly

No no no no , who was that rugby union star forward who sat on the bench for reggies? In the 8o's I think. Must be the winner.

 

[Nice Beaver]

Sam Harris?

Was it Dempsey Joy?

 

[Woodsie]

Sam Harris?

Was it Dempsey Joy?

No, both those blokes could play a bit. Never made !st grade, struggled to make reggies .... damn old age .... what were we talking about?

 

[Ryan]

Gary Winter or Dragan Durdavec?

 

[The Wheel]

No no no no , who was that rugby union star forward who sat on the bench for reggies? In the 8o's I think. Must be the winner.

Garrick Morgan at the Crushers? There was a Wallaby prop from Qld who played with the Riff around time, Tony Darcy rings a bell?

The wheel is a winner ... Tony Darcy is who I was thinking of ... for some bizarre trick of memory I thought he played for Manly .... I'm going to bed now.

 

[susan]

Darcy is one of the greatest wallaby props ever and couldn't do a thing at the panthers. Pretty sure Garrick Morgan is the son of Manly Legend and Kangaroo Pogo Morgan.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Peter Sullivan was a Wallaby captain in the 70s who went to league with St George, but never made it, played 1 first grade game. I think he got injured. I recall it because he was a Gordon player and I played in their junior comps

 

[DUFFMAN]

OK, let's correct it .... Nate Myles biggest dud buy ever for Manly

I think that award has been held for around 30 years by Craig Field.
It will take something special to take it off him, not even Scott Fulton could manage it.

Can't argue with that. Field popped into my head quite quickly but apparently he has a habit of doing that

 

[wedgetail eagle]

Manfred Moore Newtown Jets, '77.
A reverse Hayne.

Thought you may have been thinking of Tony 'Slag' Miller, but he never switched from Union which he played at first Grade level until his late forties. Now that's resilience. Played his last test for Australian Union when aged over 38.

 

[Bearfax]

I notice in Zero's fifty predictions, not one mention of Manly or Manly players in his Part 1 or 2 sections. Obviously we are a non existent team in Zero's mind.

Based on our play last year, it's about what we deserve. We need to start winning games again if we want to feature in broader NRL conversations. Right now we're pretty much the definition of also-rans.
