Hi all, Long time follower but first time poster, for Jason King's 200th first grade game on Saturday (177 for Manly and 22 for the Northern Eagles) does anybody know if the Northern Eagles games qualify to enter the Manly 200 Club? Congratulations Jason.

It really grates my gears how games in 2002 are counted as northern Eagles. Norths had nothing to Do with the club in 2002, manly had the license reverted back to them and the nrl forced us to play under the Northern Eagles banner. It's bull**** try telling choc he's not a one club player.
According to the Club, Bob Batty is also a member of the 200 club. But those squeezers at Philip Street and/or Moore Park have him stuck on 198 games.
He did (334), then I think Geoff Gerard beat that record. But the likes of Lockyer, Lamb and Menzies have beaten the Krilich achievement on 1st grade appearances alone.
I've been in the past a critic of Princess, but 200 games is quite an achievement. A one club player is rare these days and good on him.
Good to see more local juniors joiing the likes of Menzies, Toovey, Krilich, Watmough, etc in the 200 club.
Can any other club boast 14 players with 200+ games? Goes to show the culture of the club. 2V's comment the other day about no one who leaving the club having a bad word to say about the club also supports this. Now 6 months since De$ left and still not one player has signed else where for 2013. A few reporters are walking around with egg all over their faces. Sold a few papers I suppose.
And yet other team supporters inevitably reach into their bag of low intellect insults to accuse Manly of being a club who lives by poaching 1st graders off other teams. Compare this clubs current crop to say the bred not bought bulldogs !
