Sadly, I think the "No One likes us, We Don't Care" mentality needs to be toned down as modern sponsorship wants a marketable product, not a seige mentality. There is a fine line between paranoia and healthy rivalry - we need to find it and use it. We live in a work in a multi -team city, unlike many of the other clubs.
Sorry but I disagree. Manly is the one club with a 'personality' - all the others are bland, middle-of-the-road, try-to-appeal to everyone outfits. That's fine if you want sponsorship from a shampoo, toilet paper or a biscuit company.
We are winners, with a competitive edge. So, we are ideal for, say,
BHP steel - nothing tougher
Selleys Tough As Nails
Pajero - built to last
Batteries - never say die
Furniture - tough as teak
Condoms - no-one likes us but most guys need us
Viagra - we last for at least 80 minutes
The Army - when winning is life and death . . .
