Nicknames

[SeaEagleRock8]

Used to be tard but it got taken the wrong way

Time flies over us but leaves its shadow behind
(Not quite sure what that means but it came to mind!)

 

[Wombat64]

Once I worked out "Tent" I thought "Wig Wam" would be a good development of his nickname haha

PC brigade wouldn't like that. It would offend someone for sure.

 

[frank stokes]

A labrador is a player always bludging on the blind ...

THAT is f*cking GOLD!!! (Not saying I totally agree re. Suli but the nickname is Ace!!)

 

[Waz13]

Tg

This only clicked with me a couple of weeks ago.

His initials are "T" & "P" = "TeePee" which is a tent.

thanks I needed that explained as I had no idea why he was being called Tent.

Agree ... probably unfair to Suli .... but every team I played in we had a bloke called the Labrador ... and I had to slip it in somewhere ....

I reckon Roy and HGs nickname for Rod Wishart suits Suli (although a little long)...

"The man about to do something"

 

[manly al]

Hopefully Josh Schuster will make his mark for Manly soon and maybe Shoe 2 could be an initial nick name . Actually think that poster The Who can take some credit for at least some of the current squad nick names i e . Waddell - the duck , Reuben " Sandwich Garrick , could be a couple of others too .

Embarrassing... I just remembered that wishart was "the man about to do NOTHING" which might better fit Brad Parker than Suli atm tbh...
Come to think of it... the devious duo's OTHER nickname for Rod would fit Scorpio too...
They anointed him "the fastest man in league" after he got into the clear one time only to be run down by "the ungrateful head" (Martin Lang)

 

[The Who]

Guaca (Guacamole) = the big bloke with the name Erin Molan found difficulty saying
Sippley = I call him Sippers which is because my parents-in-law used to have an alcoholic beverage at 5pm each day and call it "Harry Sippers time". (I'm sure we can do better than that, and I have no idea who Harry Sippers was).
Schuster = The Boot, or Booty
Albert Hopoate = Junior Junior (again, we should be able to do better)
Saddler = Tenterfield
AFB = Aladdin
Tapau = Kapow
Levi = Strauss
Sironen = Sir Loin (after the photo shoot in yesterday's Good Weekend)
Funa = Typhoon-a

 

[The '47ers]

Taufua "The Pooer" always has his feet planted, and that faraway look in his eye like he's dropping a big steamer

 

[ALinda]

AFB = Aladdin
Tapau = Kapow
Levi = Strauss
Sironen = Sir Loin (after the photo shoot in yesterday's Good Weekend)
Funa = Typhoon-a

These are good @The Who , well done! Sirloin and typhoon are clever

 

[John Nicholson]

From way out there!
AFB; "Steakbone"
(Cockney derivation; Herringbone or Bone = Phone(ua)
+ Joe Blake = Steak.

[Woodsie]

Wasn't there an unkind move to label Cust with wing-nut ?

 

[John Nicholson]

I know, it's raining and I have nothing to do!

 

[40 years an eagle]

My all-time favourite nicknames are Easter Island and The Brick With Eyes.

 

[Shoe1]

Not convinced that the kelly try didn’t touch the dead ball line. Crap camera angles.

Yep, @The Who is in amongst it with a lot of these. Pretty sure Tent is his as well after he developed a man crush on Taniela when he came into our U20’s team from the Tigers.

 

[47MVEagle]

"The Quit for Life Sign" for the ingoal area when the league was still sponsored by Winfield

 

[court83]

I recon Tommy turbos nickname will soon be changed to "injured"

As in, where's their fullback.. oh, he's injured
