Beaver hasn't aged well in that photo, however still the greatest Eagle of all time. Local and outsiders alike.

1978 - what a year.......................

My pick from that all-star lineup...
Most decorated - Krilich
Most iconic - Toovey
Best - Randall

Phil Blake was an enigma.
Potentially the best and most exciting footballer in my time involved with footy - since the 80's.
Seemed to fizzle away after we lost 2 GFs in a row vs Eels.
As a kid he was my favourite with his footwork, speed, anticipation and that crazy chip n chase.....absolutely lit up the field and as a confidence player, I reckon we win those Eels GFs he kicks on and known as a potential immortal.

In my experience, Beaver never ages well.

International props Phill Daley and John Harvey must have come into contention but Roy Bull seems to have some legendary status and no doubt a very good playe in his day

Jakes looking a bit worn out after his long season too.

 

[John Nicholson]

In the old "bash & barge" days with only a one yard ruck, he was up there with the best, including the great St George team of 11 premierships.

I watched him single handedly win a game on a mud paddock at the SCG, taking every 2nd hit up (no tackle counts), for a gain of 3 - 4 yards, starting from his own try line to the other end, scoring the winning points.

The only way you knew it was Roy was the bald head as the mud wouldn't stick to it.

Inspirational!

A great promotion and good to see those old juniors attend. Even Cranky Franky!
I'm sure this particular event had been planned for some time but I also get the idea under Mestrov we might be making a bigger priority of acknowledging the club's local identity and history.

Nice to see the great Frankie Stanton looking well.

"What's that other team Bozo?"
"Oh, Easts, Frank."

What about Toovey being there? Was Penn informed beforehand? Imagine if Hasler was a Manly junior, you couldn’t ignore his record.

That could create an awkward setup with Mestrov.

Honourable mentions too to the likes of ‘Pogo’ Morgan, Billy Bradstreet, Daniel Gartner and Alec Tennant.

I guess this was a MWDRLFC thing so not directly put on by Sea Eagles.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Or maybe I'm wrong about that??

Great to see Bill Delamere get picked as a reserve. A great forward but a pity they spelled his name wrong on the team banner that I saw..

True, or the JL at least. Just being facetious.
