Some upcoming Milestones

[Chip and Chase]

Killer racks up 200 NRL Games this weekend. So congrats to Jamie on that achievement, and I happen to think he is playing in some of the best form of his life. It'd be nice if he could get to 200 games for Manly, but he'd need another 3 injury free seasons to tick that one off, which may be a bridge too far seeing as he is already 30.

If Killer is in the same form next year the club would be mad not to keep him for a couple more years. He is still close to the best center in the game.

Gifty cracks the 150 mark tonight against Cowboys. Hope the boys get a win to help him celebrate.

One of our best and most consistent players over the last 5 years and undoubtedly a key to our success. Would make a best ever Manly side IMO, which is no mean feat given the quality of backrowers in our great history.

Well done, long may it continue into the 200 club.

By the way Jamie Buhrer notches up a half century tonight. Here's hoping he has as long and as prosperous a career as Glenn.

He's more than close!

Missed DCE's half century on Friday night against the Broncs. Well done Daly on 50 games, let's hope there is another 200 coming in Maroon and White. This kid is the future and it's mind boggling to think how young he is and how much improvement he potentially has left in him.

Next significant number is 150 in the first week of the semis for Steve Matai. This guy has come a long way from the raw, loose cannon of the early days. He has worked hard, listened, learnt and transformed himself into one of the best centres in the game. A win in that finals game would be just reward for a player who epitomises what it means to be a good clubman. He puts in 100% every week, plays through pain, and carries a big stick that keeps all his opposition nervous. Hopefully a win in the semi versus the Dogs to celebrate with a favourite son, complete with a Matai Missile on Ben Barba.

Also Choc's 100th game at Brookie.

Snake needs 2 more tries to level Bozo's record for the club.

September 30th, 2012 will be Manly's second B2B since 15 September, 1973 😀

Snake needs 1 more try to chalk up 500 career points for the club. I have him on 124 tries. Bozo scored 129, so he needs 5 more to reach that milestone. And to be pendantic, Beaver holds the try scoring record for Manly at 151.

 

[Manly To Win!]

Manly have always argued that Bob Batty played 203 FG premiership games for the Club. His name is on the commemorative stuff that came out during the Club's 50th season in 1996. The ARL/NRL have always argued that he played 196. Seems that there was a record-keeping problem there somewhere.

I bet you it'll be something to do with the NRL/ARL not counting matches where he came on as a reserve and Manly counting them, or vice versa. It's one of the many arguments with those sorts of records.

The same as Beaver who was a 1 club man but they don't include the merger...but they are happy to include all of St George's records in that merger.

Actually that's up to the individual club. Asked David Middleton and he counts them as separate entities and apparently so does the NRL.
Check his book that he compiles at the end of the season and it'll have St George Illawarra, St George and then Illawarra records

Well done to Snake for notching up his 500th career point last weekend.

Just a reminder that it is Stevie's 150th game for Manly this Friday. So if you are out there at ANZ give him an extra big cheer this week for his loyal service.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Only likely milestone this week is Brett closing in on Bozo's second place on the all time Manly try scoring list. Snake needs 2 more tries to equal Bozo's 129 tries for the Sea Eagles.

Next milestones to click over will be

Brent Kite currently 195 career Manly games
Matt Ballin currently 145 career NRL/Manly games

Manly need just one more win to notch up two wins for the season.
