Sons Outdoing Their Fathers

[voicefromthehill]

Not yet....but 40 million plus so ok so far and still to fully expand

I thought the man shake was designed to stop you "fully expanding"

 

[voicefromthehill]

Daniel Gartner -> Clive Gartner
Mat Rogers -> Steve Rogers, Dad probably just outshines son
Hoppa Jr -> Hoppa Snr
Ryan Hoffman -> Jay Hoffman, a must
Justin Horo -> Mark Horo
Jarryd Hayne -> Manoa Thompson

 

[Captain Moondog]

Jesus was the better man.God allowing his only son to be crucified was unsavoury. I think if it was my kid and I was all powerful there'd be a price to pay.........you did what to my boy?....Look out Romans, I'm going to **** you right up....

 

[Captain Moondog]

And then there was Barrabas

 

[Mal Cochrane]

If anyone didn't see Steve Rogers play, well he was a mile ahead of Matt despite a very good career in his own right across 2 codes

Is it true they're attracted to a prominent moose knuckle? If so, serves you right.

On the grandfather/grandson front:

Manly junior and first grade prop (1959 grand finalist), the late Denis Meaney (played the bulk of his career at Wests from 1960 onwards), and grandson Sean - now making his way at the Squall.

I could be wrong but the Grandson may be the Sean Meaney that grew up in Freshwater and played a few first grade games for the Tigers and did a few years of juniors for Manly along with his brother Kieran. Of course there could be more than one grandson and the Nick Meaney at the storm could be among them

I grew up with the Meaney family I speak of and a little FB stalking doesn't reveal Nick but it isn't out of the question obviously. The Meaney family I knew sired a few Manly juniors and if I recall a manly Marlins player - they were a family of some pedigree, I remember that their mother was a rep netballer at some level. They are stalwarts at the Freshie SLSC also

It was pointed out to me that grandfathers didn’t meet the criteria for the thread. In all fairness I need to inform you of your error.

 

[Supreme Leader]

Just saying EVERY Father wants their sons to do better?

Yes I know. However I thought I would (in sporting parlance) do ‘a Kyrgios’ and ignore the criteria.

Sorry, I meant Nick. They’re probably all related.

Daniel, Ryan & Jarryd are already in the team. Hoppa Jr doesn't get a spot ahead of the Morris twins, Tezza or Mad Dog. I don't know if Justin can be rated a better player than Mark. He was selected for the Kiwis just once compared with his father's sixteen appearances.

Canada seems like a very dangerous country - grizzly bears, moose, coyotes, cougars, wolves & giant mosquitoes!

This is an interesting Wikipedia of Rugby League family relations across different countries. I learned that Isaah Yeo's father, Justin, played for Norths & Balmain (have added Isaah to the team). I didn't know that Matt King was the brother of former Manly player, Andrew King. Also, there have been four generations of players in another King family: Cec (Souths) > Johnny (St George) > David (Gold Coast) > Max (Melbourne)

FB Stalking hasn't revealed it but yes there is no doubt a possible connection

And google has revealed he is the grandfather of Nick - but you new that

We could almost make a 90s manly son team:

Daniel O’Donnell,
Zack Hosking
Zac Fulton
Albert Hopoate
Nathan cleary
Zane Dunford

I’ll give you will hoppa Woodsie, please note I’m after a subset of current players whose fathers played for manly in the 90s.

 

[Rocky]

Randall
Sam Walker
Will Hoppa
Bradman Best (Grandfather)

Woodsie - ive done the math.

The Manly Trbojevic's were 4 brothers. 3 of them have played first grade.

Let's assume Jake, Ben and Tom father 4 boys each and 3 of those play professional rugby league.

Therefore, In the year 2050 there might be 12 Turbos playing first grade for Manly.

So that begs the question - who will be the 13th player in that team?
