loch...?

 

[Woodsie]

Lomond

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Malcolm Reilly just edges out Glen Stewart for mine. Id love to have both of them in the same side.

 

[Ranga]

I’m only voting on the basis of who I have seen, and for me Gift is the best.

Contribution to premierships is a key factor for me, and Gift has two. It’s also why I rate Kite above Mark Carroll - Spudd was great but Kite set the platform for us over many more years.

I need Menzies at lock Woodsie ....just gotta....do it for ya mate Maxta ...
Well I'm on Beaver as the best lock forward I seen as a Seaeagles fan.
From what we got here - it's BK first up, as he basically was the catalyst for Manly as a genuine force from 2005 onwards giving the team the resolve and tenacity which was a legacy even several years after he retired.
Special mention to Glenn Stewart at 2 as a crafty, rugged lock who imo, was possibly the most underrated 1 on 1 tackler in the game, stopping players in their tracks and dominating the ground and play the ball....also silky skills including a crafty short kicking game.

The tribe has already put Beaver in the 2nd row ...

 

[manly al]

Hard to go past Reilly so will loch him in , great range of skills and Gifty and even Kosef at their best were right up there too . and then the regular whole hearted and big efforts form Fatty and B K .

Fair enough - well I'm happy with my BK and Gift options mate !!

Just for the record .. IMO ... the best footballer ever to play for Manly was Mal Reilly .. daylight second ... and third was Bozo a furlong back ..

Kevin Locke? Did he trial with us? Not sure it’s enough to be Locke of the century tho.

Missed that era Woodsie - but usually share a similar opinion, real shame I missed out on some of these other legends...

 

[Chip and Chase]

Don't forget Willo still has those goat photos, best add him to the list of options.

Why ? ... I'm not in the photos ... unless you need a favour ? .. are you asking for a friend ?

Malcolm Reilly had an excellent passing & short kicking game. He combined wonderfully with Fulton and was instrumental in helping end our premiership duck. In summary, arguably the most skilful, toughest Sea Eagles forward ever!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Impossible really to go past Mal BUT I voted BK because IMO he’s the most influential player ever to play for Manly.

We’re there better players , of course , how could you go past Bozo but what he brought to this team in 2005-6 was absolutely immense.

Another hard one @Woodsie

I agree but I would only have Bozo several lengths behind.

Yeah, I am guilty of exaggeration from time to time ...

Agree ... i think the benefit of a fan poll is ... that as fans you can vote with your heart ... without having to justify your decision with stats ... I liked him is a good enough reason ..
