Sea Eagle Roosters

[LM63]

Always liked David O’Donnell, the hooker in the 90s. Was poached by Easts and seemed to disappear despite being an automatic selection for us in a pretty good team.

Don’t think Gartner went to easts

Played for them 1982/83......

Terry Hill came to us from Wests. He played 1 year at Roosters before he joined Wests.

True, but I also think he was at Souths before that and wanted to go to Wests but was forced to go to the Roosters because they introduced a players draft that year and the Roosters had first pick

You guys know far too much about Manly's history.

Must admit I can't remember him playing there either.
I remember him playing for Balmain but not easts...

I just vaguely remember Frog Eyes [ Russell Gartner ] playing for the Roosters after Manly , then finishing up at the Tigers into his Thirties

You've got a good memory! I had to look that up as i didn't believe it! Russel Gartner - Career Stats & Summary - Rugby League Project

Hard to believe a decade after 1978 that Gartner was still in first grade at Balmain and scoring tries. Played for Balmain in their 1986 semi final win over Manly. He was in the Tigers team in 1987 that got flogged by 40 points at Brookie. In 1988 Gartner played on the wing in the 8-4 loss to Manly at Brookie. He also played in the Tigers win over Manly in the semi that year. I saw all of those games & until today I would have sworn Gartner wasn't in any of them!

Wikipeadia says he was a reserve for the 1989 grand final but didn't get on the field.

The Man who knew too much . Gee you would think that someone would have made a movie on that topic by now .

He did. 1982-83. Then he basically retired before then Balmain coach Biscuits Stanton brought him out of mothballs in 1985, ultimately for another five seasons and two more GFs.
