This bloke is one of the SMH Rugby columnists. Interesting take on the silvertail phenomenon:

"I believe it was Roy Masters, when he was coaching Wests, who invented the term ‘Silvertails’ for the Manly RL Club. Bankrolled by Kerry Packer, who was a great mate of Bobby Fulton, Manly RL bought most of Wests stars in a spectacular grab and heist. So Roy, a master of the language, cranked up the anti-Manly rhetoric which was gleefully picked up by Manly’s opponents and by the RL media.
It was always nonsense. Who is less of a Silvertail than Des Hasler, or Tom Keneally, Manly’s great supporter who helped Hasler with his rugbiography?"

the other great irony the Masters family lioved in thge Manly area at the time and Roys Brother/father, cant recall exactly where even teachers in local schools!
 
Can you believe that Roy taught me Geography in Year 7 until he left for Penrith to coach the Under 23s there? (in the country it was!!)
