There are some that still claim that 72 had O'Neill and Branighan in from Souths and in 87 we got O'Connor from St G etc. They forget that the raid of Wests to buy Dorahy, Brown, Boyd etc was ill-fated and did not bring about a Premiership. They also forget that Wests were the wealthy club in the 60s and the Roosters in the 2000s and late 70s but the anti-Manly bias proliferates. A lot of it comes from Masters, Ryan and Gould, all coaches at certain times and influential in the media. Stuck in the passed!!!!
