He even put it in a sledge:

Lyon knew Burns was struggling and made sure to let him know about it, as the stump microphone picked up some sarcastic analysis.

“Rory, you’re playing me really well,” Lyon said, we suspect with tongue planted firmly in cheek. “I wouldn’t change a thing to be honest.”

Another great article on one of the team;

This was a couple of days ago (apparently)

I didn't hear anything about it, and no one posted it here (that's unlike us).

Anyway... storm in a 'stubby holder'...?

The provocative beer stubby holder that has NRL fans frothing

Manly and Canterbury fans are both in a frenzy over the cheeky beer cooler. Read all the details here.

au.sports.yahoo.com

It's the $11.95 stubby holder that has fans from rival NRL clubs Manly and Canterbury frothing for vastly different reasons.

The Sea Eagles are selling the antagonistic beer insulators at their leagues club merchandise store and online, celebrating the club record 66-0 thrashing of the Bulldogs in round 16.

Stephen Lucas – creator of the 'Guess What? Manly hates you too!!!' banner – jokingly asked: "Why wouldn’t Manly celebrate their biggest win?

"I would have thought the Bulldogs were accustomed to being thrashed by big scores seeing as though they have the record for the two highest defeats in the history of league.

"Maybe in hindsight they shouldn’t have let go the coach (Hasler) that took them to their first two grand finals in over a decade!

(lol)

But lifetime Dogs fanatic Anthony Davidson was only too happy to do Canterbury's bidding.

He told us: "It's only a stubby holder we're talking about but it shows a small club mentality when you celebrate a regular season win against a team coming last with 13 players missing.

"I couldn't see Canterbury doing the same if the result was reversed. (b/s)

"Be Manly, don't be a dog!"

Where do you buy them, I followed the link to the Big Outlet store and got a 404 page not found error.

Must be sold out or was hacked by a Dogs supporter.

Looks like sold out, or hacked as you say.

Maybe the Dogs major sponsor bought all of them so he can burn them.

Is it still Laundy? It'd be hilarious if they started showing up in his pubs..!

I tend to agree with the Canterbury supporter.

It was only the biggest win in terms of the points margin anyway. Not the highest amount of points scored in a game, nor the the highest number of tries scored. That remains the 70-7 win vs Penrith in 1973.

Last time I checked, they hadn’t released a ‘commemorative’ stubby for that one.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I can't agree Terry! Any memorable Manly moment is perfect subject for a trinkety momento. They are really just novelty items for fans to enjoy, not trophies to be mounted on the wall of the club (assuming the club even has a wall?)
For example I wouldn't mind having a stubby cooler celebrating Turbo's try of the year, or even odd moments like Wolfman's iconic try against Souths in the prelim a few years ago.
It's just about marketing and fun, not about serious record keeping 🙂

little ‘Gordie’ certainly holds no fear when it comes to tackling players twice his size and strength.

Who is 180kg and ten foot tall?

Not Manly news as such but good to see David Heath back in the ‘system’ - from memory was coach of the Under 20s GF side with Turbo, Hynes etc

Whoever was the creator of our 'pathways' program deserves great credit (Was it one of the Fulton boys?). To be able to attract young talent from the west and convince them and their families that their future lay closer to the breakers is a monumental achievement. The program is one of the main reasons why we are doing so well in the junior comps after years of simply not having the local talent to compete on the football field with the lure of the surf.

“It meant so much to win that grand final, especially against Parramatta,’’ Chan Kum Tong said. LOL

What a great "pathway" he's had and fingers crossed for him he makes it in the NRL.

Why is the other brother wearing Gordon's t-shirt.🤔

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

haha that is the Gordon rugby club.
I played in their junior teams many years ago. Back in the day they were known as the Gay Gordons!

Yeah it was a Fulton initiative that grew legs when Bob was back working as the GM Footy or whatever position he held
