First Manly game you went to ??

I think the first game I attended would have been our round 17 clash against the Bulldogs in 2004. Scott Donald scored what was at the time and could still be the fastest ever try in the NRL era as we got on the board within the first 90 seconds off our first set

Unfortunately we lost that game but we did win 6 of our last 8 games that year I believe so it was a good time to start attending matches. I definitely remember being at our home match against the Knights later on in 2004 where we put 48 points on them. That happened the week after Penrith smashed us 72-12 in Penrith. I was also at the last round home match against the Storm which we won 30-28
 
Manly v Wests @ Brookvale Oval on Saturday 26th March 1994


Terry Hill played in the 6 that day, and we smashed em 66-8

We still had the grass hill in the south western corner, and the crowd was small that day (Wests were fairly rubbish at the time)

Check out the team sheet - not a bad first game to go to.

I think Jack Elsegood won rookie of the year that year?
 
Just asked Mum and Dad - my first game was round 1 of the 2000 NRL season as a 2 month old with cotton wool in my ears to block out some of the noise @:D of course we were the Northern Eagles back then unfortunately - so glad that I was waaaay to young to have experienced those awful times!

But the first game that I actually remember being at was during the 2005 NRL season. I was a 5-year-old and we had gone to see Manly play the Tigers at Leichhardt Oval. I vividly remember sitting on the hill and being absolutely appalled as to why the Tigers fans were booing Manly @:D@:D oh if only 5-year-old me knew what I was in for 😉 #GuessWhatManlyHatesYouToo
