Steve was a Koori who used to throw his boomerang through or around the goal posts as half entertainment. From memory he used to catch about 9 out of 10, it was a good family atmosphere.manlyborn link said:[quote author=Dan link=topic=182450.msg251877#msg251877 date=1266276863]
Wheel, tell us more of this Steve the boomerang Thrower....
I always had a crack up watching and cheering on the kids half time games, especially when there was one fat little bopper who ran over every little kid he saw to score a few tries

Seriously,just imagine if Brooky was revamped to a similar design to the SFS,with a capacity of 20,000 or so.Atmosphere would be great and we would all be comfortable.A pipe dream perhaps,but it could be possible. And Jethro,well done.I'd forgotten that Steve came from Smokeys Dawsons.Is he still alive? (Steve,that is.)
 I have no problems with the concept of Manly fans being discerning and hard to please. Though I have seen it that if they get revved up by loud mouths on the Hill when we're behind they do seem to lift the team (example the first official silvertails get-together in a game where we came from a long way back to beat the Panfers).ÂBradza link said:Mata, I've always thought the Brookie crowd operates under the \"mediocrity will not be tolerated\" credo. It's as if they are saying \"you perform for us and we'll make a heap of noise\".
As with most things our expectations are higher than many other team's supporters so we're not just going to cheer for nothing or to get the players going. That's not always a good thing but it has an element of integrity about it.

Brooky on a good day has a very special feel about it, there are many that have a long history with the place, have sat or stood in the same part of the ground for years and there will be many people who have cut their teeth (and probably various parts of their bodies) sliding (or falling) down the back of the Hill over the years.
