Players we've missed out on

[eagles2win]

Noticed the other day that Chris McQueen's dad is a Manly diehard (obviously not when Souths are playing us) and an offer was on the table for Chris to join us in 2008.

 

[MadMarcus]

McQueen goes under the radar because his surname isn't Burgess, but he is better than any of the brothers.

 

[Blake]

We made a play for Sam initially, when he was playing alongside Menzies.

Also, I believe Gallen came quite close to signing with us.

A bit of royal flavour.....

The King, Wally Lewis.

And

Sir Kev, Kevin Sinfeld.

 

[TokyoEagle]

There was also a lot of talk about Gene Miles coming to Manly pre Broncos.

Wally and Gene actually signed but got out due to a clause


Know when Lowey was coach apart from signing Ridge (who oddly signed because he felt he wouldn't be a full All Black - the other bloke signed with a European club) we also signed some bloke named ZinZan Brooke

 

[Fluffy]

big time miss was dallas rennie

 

[bob dylan]

Zinzan Brook signed but never played.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Orford played but never signed.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

The Wynn brothers. Arko could have signed them to a package deal before one headed off to Parra and the other to Saints.

 

[Peter C]

We also signed up Billy Moore from Norths in the early nineties, only for him to have a change of heart and Graeme Lowe said he wouldn't hold him to it, no big loss

 

[bones]

Another who signed but never came was Aaron Moule.

 

[The Insomniac]

Orford played but never signed.

Very funny. That's gold SER8.

.....true.....but he decided to stay with the Sharkies and never win anything instead.
