Funniest ever moment supporting Manly.

Hey there everyone

I would like to chat about the funniest moments we experienced watching Manly games.

I can remember Super Max Krilich in 1981, take an intercept on his own 22 against Parramatta and he had clear water ahead of him, all of 75 metres to get to the try line, his legs were going like pistons as initially he was well clear only to see in horror a speedy Brett Kenny in pursuit. He was easily gaining on Max and was about to tackle him 15 metres out, wily Max stopped running and Kenny dived prematurely to make the tackle, Max stumbled the last 15 metres to score the try, he was totally wasted, got up and smiled at Brett Kenny who in turn had a laugh, it brought the Brooky house down that day as Manly prevailed 22-8!!
 
1. Michael Robertson doing the Wang dance in the change rooms after the 2008 GF and 9 accidentally putting it to air.

2. Daylight

3. Douehi being heckled whilst lining up a kick at Brookie with the small Covid crowd.
 
The looks on the faces of Broncos supporters when Tezza scored his last try - then Reeves' conversion - to tie a game a Brookvale that the Donkeys should have won comfortably.

Or - Robbo's wang dance...................!
 
On the hill at Brookie when we played the sharks back in the late noughties.

There was a pack of feral Manly diehards who’d been there all day, picnic blankets & chairs set up, kids running amok throughout the building crowd.

One little such feral bloke was on the little balcony part of the hill bar, screaming obscenities at the field when the game was underway.

2 big blokes & one of them’s partner were standing nearby, the partner had a newborn wrapped up on her chest.

After several minutes of little feral turning the air blue with profanity, one of the big blokes asked him to please watch his language as there were women & children around.

Little feral looked at the bloke & his mate in disbelief & shouted “I’ve only f@cken sworn twice ya f@cken d1ckhead!!!” & the big bloke lunged at him JUST as a security guard walked around the corner, catching him in the act.

Big bloke got ejected, little feral got to stay & happily swore like a trooper for the rest of the game.

LOLOLI reckon I might have met the Dad of this young champion! No single word of a lie, early 90s to about 94 I reckon there was this fanatical and frankly insane young Manly supporter, probably about 12, he'd turn up regularly and he had a voice like a fair dinkum foghorn and the foulest mouth I've ever heard and he would absolutely hand it out to the opposing players. He was literally worth about 20 normal fans.
 
I remember watching Manly vs Norths in 1997 at Brookvale. A scrum was.packing in the south eastern corner with Manly on the attack. Jim Serdaris ran from the bench to the scrum. As he got there Scott Fulton ran off. Play was held up whilst Fulton left the field. When Fulton got to the sideline Bozo sent him back on to replace someone else. Play was held up for around 5 minutes as Fulton ran back to the scrum. As he got to the scrum the woman in front of me yelled out "Dad said I could play for a bit longer". Bloody brilliant
 
Went to a game against Parramatta at the old Parramatta stadium in the corporate area around 20-25 years ago with a mate.

A halftime we went to the toilet and I walked out and started talking to Fatty, Sterlo and a radio commentator (can’t remember who now).

My mate walked out and saw me and had a shocked look on his face as he walked up to us.
I said to him come Steve now is your chance, you have talked about it all day.
He had a shocked look on his face without saying a word.

I said he said if he saw Fatty he was going to ask him for a kiss.
He stuttered and mumbled, Fatty turned to him laughing and said are you a poof mate, you dress like one but I’m not kissing you.
Sterlo said don’t look at me, I’m not kissing you either.

They left a minute later going back into the studio box and we went back into our corporate box.
My mate said you’re an arsehole, I couldn’t get a word out when you said that, now they will think it’s all true.
 
Another funny episode I remember was when we played the Sharks at Brooky in 1994.

Cronulla legend Andrew Ettinghausen was exposed in a dressingroom video stuff up that captured him starters.

During a break in play, on the eastern side of the field, someone yelled out "Hey micro dick " Fatally ET looked at the hill crowd and was totally roasted!!
