Being in the Leagues club on Sunday reminded me of Manly's great record of having 14 players that have played over 200 first grade games for the club.
Snippetts that I have picked up over the years indicate that this might be a record when compared to other clubs. I'm very sure that Souths and the roosters have nowhere near this many even though they have been around since 1908.
I have unsuccessfully tried to google this info to find the record for all clubs. Can one of our stats gurus help me out with this info?
I think it is an excellent indicator of the culture of success at Manly. Players want to stay here and we look after our own.
From memory the 200+ players for Manly are
Bob Batty
Max Krilich
Graham Eadie
Bob Fulton
Cliffy Lyons
Des Hasler
Steve Menzies
Owen Cunningham
Paul Vautin
Terry Randall
Alan Thompson
Geoff Toovey
Fred Jones
Anthony Watmough
