Ramrod said:Mark from Brisbane said:Regardless of your political views to have the countries Prime Minister as your number 1 ticket holder is a significant boost for the Sea Eagles.
Perhaps not financially BUT consider the other corporate sponsors.
It cannot be a bad thing, regardless of if you voted for him or not.
This shows the smarts Dave Perry has in getting Abbott on board.
Perry knows this will get us more $$$ and a PM prestige tag.
Tony lives locally on the Northern Beaches and may be the only PM that is a Manly fan, now and in the future.
Talking about muppets, I'm just extra happy that it weren't - Julia "No Carbon Tax" Gillard, or Kevin "Foul Mouth Pink Batts" Rudd, or Bill "No Corruption Enquiry/Knife in the back" Shorten.
Abbott is the only PM that risks his life as a volunteer fire-fighter.
You won't see any other politicians do something like that.
Craig Thomson would rather spend his time at Tiffany's Girls and their Red turbo spa room.
I'm not a fan of politicians, but Abbott as an Aussie who's trying to do the best he can, I think he's better than most on offer.
Canteen Worker said:Comparing Tony Abbott with Craig Thompson is not really relevant.
How many times has anyone actually seen him at Brookie? I go most home games and have seen him once in 10 years. Good club politics maybe, but the jersey he is wearing in this shot is a Delmege one.

HappilyManly said:The PM also had positive news for Sea Eagles fans.
“Off the field, I am pleased that plans to upgrade Brookvale are gathering pace,” he said. 🙂
“It’s good that the Government is committing $10 million towards this project.”

I am no Abbott fan but I still take that as a positive comment. The federal funds are only a part of the puzzle, maybe he has asked O'Farrell to get a state trust into gear, or otherwise fast-track approval of the re-development?Peter C said:This worries me, $10 million is just a token gesture, it will only get us a couple of new toilets and a lick of paint.
