    Game Day: Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    Haven't seen Munster play for a while, but he appears to be a Rick Wakeman fan. Got the same hairstyle as the former Yes keyboard player.

    How to F a season in one go

    While we are all slagging our club captain (2011 premiers, 2013 Clive Churchill medal winner, SOO winning captain); let's give a shout out to the business acumen and winning strategy of the club owner from 2022:- Manly Sea Eagles chairman Scott Penn says standing firm on the NRL club's values...

    How to F a season in one go

    Incidently, why does a thinning hair Mestrov brush his hair on the sides forward? Rather like Julius Ceasar or Kevin Costner in The Bodyguard. Just let it go mate. It's the oddest combover I've seen.

    Voss commentary

    One great thing about going to the game in person is that I don't have to listen to television commentary. Granted, you have to put up with ground announcers - but at least it's not constant. Watching some of Eric's old YouTube videos that he posts (thanks again, Eric!), I am surprised at how...

    1976 GF winger, Rod Jackson

    Somewhere in an old scrapbook I have a poster of Rod in the early pioneer kit. His shop looks a bit bare, maybe I should send him it for his wall.

    Manly Warringah history question.

    I did too. I was so crook that night I thought I had Covid.

    Manly Warringah history question.

    10cc had a hit in the 70s that was a misheard quote from a radio where the announcer said; "Life is a mystery". The song writers, Eric Stewart and Lol Creme heard it as "Life is a Minestrone", and it was a hit. I've always heard our team song (not Eagle Rock) as "Up the mighty SeaEagles" just...

    2025 Jerseys

    The Northern Eagles jumpers were the worst. It looked like someone chundered a pizza on it. Washed down with fresh sick.

    This was our time and our place

    Was in the Sheridan Stand throughout the 78 Semis (but not the replay or GF). Camped out in front of the gates for the GF. Got punched out by a much older St George fan who pushed in front for the reserve grade GF (I was 14). Other St George supporters redeemed themselves in the early morning...

    What about Rubber Bullets by 10cc? Catchy at least.

    For all our appreciation of the old days, I have to say at the Bulldogs semi final, i loved the atmosphere and jumped for joy at full time. Just like when I was a kid.

    I do remember the streamers that they sold outside the grounds. Maroon and white and whatever else colour your team was. Also small bits of streamers in the Sheridan stand like confetti. I used to take a pair of 10 x 50 binoculars to the game and a couple of small bits of streamers stuck inside...

    I was in the old Brewongle Stand with my sister. She went for Easts then and now supports the Bulldogs.

    Thanks Terry and Eagle for your info and stats. Nice for once that my game recollections were accurate. Ray Branighan was one of the greats. Check out the 1976 match on YouTube vs the Bulldogs. He does this tiny step that splits two Bulldog defenders and sprints into the clear and times a...

    The game has moved on from me and a lot of people from my generation

    Actually if there going to play a Neil Diamond song, it has to be 1974's "Longfellow Serenade". It always reminds me of that Rodney Dangerfield movie "Back to School". Dangerfield to attractive young female student:- "What's your favourite sudject?" Student:- "Poetry!" Dangerfield:-...

    Agreed. Kudos to the first ground person who plays JPY's "I hate the music"!

    The game has moved on from me and a lot of people from my generation

    On Facebook yesterday someone posted a picture of a bottle of Brandivino. I can still remember a mate of my brother doubled over in pain after drinking half a bottle of that paint stripper in the KGV grandstand at Henson Park in 1976. That never happens at Brookie these days. Old days, old ways.
