Decided to sit down and watch a game and went to 2003. The NRL record books show that this was Manly's first year back into the NRL after the Northern Eagles.However, we all know that 2002 was the year that Manly took over their licence.
The Club were last out of the blocks in signing players as the NRL would not register any contracts until conditions were met pertaining to the licence. How a team was put together is astounding and hats off to the NRL of the time for their bias.
A bye for Round 1 was probably the highlight of the first month. Followed by 3 losses then a trip to Wollongong. Doesn't always end well there for us.
Here are my highlights of the game.
