Something that Manly's top grade team achieved this year

[eagles2win]

With finishing 8th this year it apparently makes it the 64th season that we haven't won the Wooden Spoon. This break's the previous record which was held by Balmain who didn't win a Wooden Spoon for 63 years.

Does that include the Northern Eagles years. I am sure the NRL don't want us to hold any records.

Furthermore, we have now made the finals 6 years in a row. (2005, 06, 07, 08, 09, 2010) This is now the longest running streak in the NRL. (Melbourne and Brisbane had longer streaks than us going into the season but failed to make the 8 this season).

No just as Manly Warringah Sea Eagles

Only Manly, St George and then some of the newer clubs such as Brisbane, St G Illawarra, West Tigers etc have never won the spoon. Of the old NSWRL I thought that St G had the longest record, them starting in the 1920s and us starting in 1947.

Illawarra has won 3 spoons so therefore saints have

St George won 3 wooden spoons. In 1922, 1926 and 1938.
