Funny. But I don't think it's constipation, more likely they are trying to channel the cold death stares of our classic '70s sides

I think it depends on the skill of the photographer to engender & capture smiles.

Indeed, 1973 was a classic side! IMO, only two of our current players would crack that team - Turbo to replace Brown on the wing & Olakau'atu to replace Peters.

I think also that DCE would have Johnny Mayes covered and I would take Paseka over Herman Hamilton. You're right though, the '72/73 sides were great. I think the '72 pack was the toughest club pack ever.

Congratulations @ellakasmar

Nobody would have Johnny mayes covered

Very speedy halfback - scored 16 tries with the Sea Eagles in 1973 & 28 tries in the next two seasons with the Roosters

And premiership winner 73, 74, and 75 ..

Different era but Woodsie , agree one of the best backa uperes ever, fast and great competitor , however would say quite a few other halfs have had more strings to their bow . Played with some great packs at the time too but did he ever rep ? sate or international , don "t think so . Hasler , Tooves and D C E standings is probably more of the bench mark that i would apply

Like the look of this squad , seems to have a good balance and plenty of emerging prospects coming through . Just the 9 role and depth factor there if Froggy has any issues and expectations then of Lawton . Josh seems to have bulked up a bit , of course will still be able to cover the 6 role when he returns hopefully A S A P but more likely for me to be in the back row , short or longer term . Latu Fainu is only a short while off coming into the picture or calculation there [ 6 ] in any case

Mayes certainly played for Australia... a very very fine half. Maybe DCE edges him. But agree very very few of our current side make the 72/73 sides that is for sure. Turbo if he has a long career might edge out Eadie but Eadie has his nose in front purely because he could do it all, plus he could kick goals, plus he was tough as nails and played for years at the very top level. Plus Turbo can play in the Centres... Branighan to wing. Agreed Peter Peters would be dispensable - tough but a Boyle type plodder. Maybe someone for Hamilton... maybe Marty much more mobile than Bill.

The Winning Premiership Peter Peters Perspective

Peter Peters had more skill than he was given credit for

Peters was not only a resilient and tough forward that was not overawed by any confrontation
as was the case in our Winning 1973 Grand final win which was considered the most brutal grand final in the history of the game .

Peters was also a Skillful ball playing forward who also had the ability to be a goal kicker

Most of all Peters was Golden Greek Who is now a Golden Premiership Winning Sea eagle

Johnny Mayes played in 3 games for Australia in the 1975 World cup games

At the end of the 1975 season, Mayes was selected to represent Australia in that year's Rugby League World Cup, playing in the 24–8 win over New Zealand at Carlaw Park in Auckland and the 18–6 win over Wales at the St Helens Ground in Swansea. His final game for Australia came in a 16–13 loss to England at Central Park in Wigan.

The Benchmark and the Greatest honour for all Manly players is to live up to our Legendary clubs pinnacle of Greatness as the Greatest club of all and Win a Grand Final and Mayes was good enough to do that amongst our other honourable and worthy Grand final winning halves Hasler , Toovey and DCE .
2nd best is Not a Manly thing !

Big Herman [ Hamilton ] could stride out a bit with a bit of room to move but Marty [ at his best ] would be a bit more mobile ' Herman was actually one of the most improved props at that time from an earlier stage of his career , maybe just got a lot more fit , maybe just got a harder edge gradually as a prop . just could not recall Mayes reping , think that he would have been behind Tommy Raudonikis and Billy Smith at the time but still a good achievement for Mayes . Pretty good Manly side naturally in 73 , Saab and Garick if they continue with their impressive form would be up there with those Manly 73 wingers just as a perspective though and big Olka and of course Tom and Jake . .

 

[Shoe1]

Pre-90s props had to do an awful lot of hard scrum work. So I don’t think we can compare Herman with Marty or any current front rowers with the old day blokes.

Hey Wheel, just wondering if you still do the member council thing and, if so, do you have anything to report?

Hey Wheel, just wondering if you still do the member council thing and, if so, do you have anything to report?

I’ve moved to Qld recently but just before I left there was a tour of the COE and a quick meeting with Stephen, Elyse from Membership team and Cuzzo.

In short;

Hopeful of further funding for Brookie just how much is the question for full redevelopment or just along east/west side of ground.

Discussed membership options as at Christmas not one Digital membership had been sold.

In terms of footy given our stability in the squad the club is quietly confident, no plans to bring other players in, but anything can happen in Rugby League, don’t expect to see MF this year.
