Maybe I'm just showing my age but I still think he was our best ever fullback. Happy birthday Wombat.
Always difficult comparing players from different eras. The roles and styles of play are so different now. But Wombat was far ahead the best fullback of his time, so he gets my vote.
 
Its always difficult comparing players from different eras. Was Wombat better than Snake? Is Snake better than Wombat? They are easily they are the top 2 fullbacks we've ever had, and we've had good ones from Ron Willey to Bob Batty, Dale Shearer and Matthew Ridge.

Both had/have their strengths and both had/have their weaknesses. If you could somehow combine the two of them into one fullback.......damn lol. Snake's pace and skill, Wombat's size and strength.......:rock:

Still the best, all round Manly player that I've ever seen :clap:
So many wonderful Manly memories :)


Happy Birthday Wombat :inlove:

Forever raise our banners high, high, high

Happy birthday Wombat, I only vaguely remember the end of his career & he was still great then. Wish I had seen all of it.
 
Wombat was the reason I became a Manly supporter all those years ago (1972). I was in primary school in the heart of Vermin and Chook territory at the time.
