Manly's most obscure games/opponents since 1947

[Shoe1]

1983 KB Cup semi final. Manly vs Combined Brisbane (Meninga, Miles, Lewis). Game in full.

Great game! Thanks.

Manly carved them up.

Watching that makes a mockery of the kangaroo selections that year. Eadie was on fire all game and made the current Australian fullback Scott look like a reserve grader. There were 10 better fullbacks than Scott in Sydney. The Queensland selection bloc at its worst.

Michael Blake outplayed both meninga and miles.

interesting, maybe Yogi Rogers at fullback for Hawkes Bay? Is that where Lowe signed him from?

The timing fits. Switched to RL in 1990 and moved to Aust in 1994. His one first grade game was Rd1 1994.

Didn’t we play the NT in Darwin as a trial one year? I think Terry Randall played even though retired at the time, so I’m guessing mid 80s?

Good one. I had no idea. 1985. Bozo got a run.

That half back butcher looks a lot like Hasler.

Played Wainouiamata Lions (Wellington) in 1991. Feel like we played an Auckland team early 90s at Carlaw Park as well pre Warriors.
