Some upcoming Milestones

[ManlyMatt]

I'll have 10 beers to mark the occasion.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

I believe that he will be wearing jersey 10 to mark the occasion.

And he will pick up 10 points in the RLW ratings.

 

[Fluffy]

and score 10 tries to celebrate

or is that just wishful thinking?

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Maybe.

Killer is taking his sweet time getting to 200 games for Manly, stranded on 198 for another few weeks it seems.

Missed Tommy Symonds' and Peta Hiku's 50th game for Manly a game or two back. Well done lads.

 

[Darren]

Better Homes and Gardens outrated us on Friday night. We should get the team onto Brookie to fix it up .

 

[ShakeySeaEagle]

You're right, I don'tknow where I got that original stat from now. But I just checked and we have only played 624 at The Fortress.

Your 698 probably included pre season and mid week comp games

Your 698 probably included pre season and mid week comp games

Either way it is the ground that has had the most 1st grade games played, by quite a margin. I learnt this fact at a men of league trivia night. Most other teams have changed home grounds 2 or 3 times, but we have stAyed consistent at brookie

[EagleFromMay1967]

Yeah, Toddy, or toady, put that 698 in your slime scooper and smoke it, you silly ol' slime bag.

 

[Shoe1]

Great stat

Brooky should be nominated for a heritage listing by the nrl as the ground with the most continuous history.

North Sydney Oval (749) has had more games played at it than Brookie has. As has the SCG (1123), but that's no surprise. Of the current grounds Brookie holds the record for most games hosted

Thanks, the trivia question must have been referring to current grounds. Funnily enough the trivia night was at nth Sydney leagues, so that probably rubs a bit more salt in!

Congratulation Killer on your 200th game in maroon and white for making our club a better place, Your calmness and leadership have guided our club so well.

 

[Killer03]

Congrats Jamie.

I remember in 2006 when I heard the news that we had signed Killer, it really felt like the missing piece to winning a premiership, and it really was.

My favourite memory of Jamie will always be the 2013 PF when he inspired a 14 nil deficit to one of the best wins in recent years.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Yes Jamie Lyon has joined the 200 club, a well deserved honour for a player who will go down as one of our best ever. He is the second highest all time points scorer for Manly behind Wombat and becomes the 19th player to play 200 games for the mighty Sea Eagles. He has been a key part of the last 10 years of Manly resurgence and dominance, and if not for his personal decision to shun representative honours he would have figured prominently in NSW and Australian colours during that period as well.

When you consider the pedigree of Manly centre three quarters over our history , names such as Fulton, Branighan, Gartner, O'Connor, Hill, Innes, and Matai, it's no greater compliment than to say Killer would more than likely secure a centre spot in any greatest ever Manly side picked.

Has turned out to be a very astute buy for Manly and money well spent. Goes about his business with consistency and class every week, and is the ultimate competitor, never throws in the towel and rarely lets his opposite number get the better of him. One of the best defensive centres ever to pull on a jersey, combined with a fleetness of foot and an uncanny ability to put his winger away means he has the whole package. Will be a very deserving life membership when the honour is ultimately bestowed.

If he plays another full season then he will also become a member of the very exclusive 300 NRL Game Club.

Well done Killer, take a bow.

Also Horhay racked up his 50th career try on the weekend, the 21st Manly player to do so.

Brett Stewart in rare form bagging a double for his 14th try on the weekend, coming in 16 appearances this year. This takes him to 160 NRL tries in total, 6th on the overall list.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Jake Turbo plays his 50th game tonight. There'll be another 250 to come hopefully.

Api clocked up 50 NRL games last week.

DCE will bring up his 150 next week.
