All bought by Manly as established 1st graders and nearly all internationals when they joined Manly, in a three year period from late 79 to late 82.
What were you saying about C-B and their methods again?
I can see your point Phantar but you kind of add to Ryan's argument when you consider our lack of success during this period. Sure, we made a couple of grand finals but we lost BOTH of them. It was damn painful - I was at the SCG for both of them. It was the real beginning of our rivalry and hatred for the Eels.
Didn't it just absolutely suck. I'll never forget those 2 GF days having all that Para scum giving it to us especially in 83 when we were lay down specials to win the premiership and those bastards blew us away again. Memory burn and a very painful one I will never forget. I dont care how bad Parra are going I will always rejoice when they are in misery.
The Eels supporters were absolutely feral. Some things just never change.
