Successive Manly Semi Appearances

[Canteen Worker]

For older Manly fans the current era is hard to take with no appearances in end of season games since 1998.

What is the longest unbroken stretch of successive semi final appearances?

What year did it start and what year did it finish?

How many years did Manly miss the semis between 1968 and 1998?

68 - 77 so 10

^^68-78...11


I think 4 times. 79 and 80, 85 we lost a playoff for 5th against penrith and 91.

Biscuits is right - did you think he would be wrong?

Semis were five teams in those years and yet we were virtually permanent fixtures for 30 years.

How low we have fallen!!!!
