Roberts I will pay, an amazing talent. Better than Boyd? Probably played more footy than Boyd! Roberts greatness was stymied by injury (but he kept playing anyway) Boyd's was stymied by stupidity and Jim Comans

I can't think of any since the 70s, maybe Ian Roberts, as Manly churn out the silverware every decade.

John Gray was an incredibly talented forward who missed the 1978 deciders because of one of his semi-regular run-ins with the referees.
His ball-playing was sublime (just ask Bruce Walker - one of the main beneficiaries), his scrummaging first class (when that still meant something), and he was the man who reintroduced to Australian audiences, the 'around the corner' goalkicking style on the 1974 GB tour. That alone should qualify him as one of the most influential players of the last four decades.
And he could hit hard (OK, not always legally) in defence!

It's the length of the average step most males will manage, after at least 4-6 schooners of full strength beer.
But that's not important right now.

Probably not classed as a Manly player but John Dorahy.
He'd be more thought of as a Magpie though.

Sat out '96 due to Superleague, so he deserved to miss out on a premiership win.
