You forgot Eddie as well

Great article by Malcolm Knox, which touches on Fasler, in today's SMH.

And how about Zorton's hypocrisy this morning in the MD? Referring to 'Sea Eagles board member' Cliff Lyons.

The same board he and his family consider irrelevant.

Feel like reprinting that here for those of us interstate ?

Just type 'Manly Daily Online' into Mr Google. Do it tonight and it will still be the current edition - Saturday's.

Long term Manly fans will fondly recall Cliffy’s on field exploits
Peter Peters, Manly Daily
May 12, 2017 2:50pm

THERE is one important part of Sea Eagles history which is never questioned or even debated – the greatest indigenous player to wear the maroon and white.

The magnificent, scheming Cliffy Lyons, who played 309 games for the club between 1986 and 1999, is everyone’s choice.

With Manly clashing with the Broncos in a Suncorp blockbuster on Saturday night as part of the NRL’s indigenous round, many fans will recall Lyons’ sublime career with Manly.

He played in premiership- teams in 1987 and 1996 and was a two-time Dally M medallist.

His stature is best illustrated by the fact that two of the clubs he played with — Manly and Leeds in England rate him in their respective club’s best teams of all time.

Lyons was a magician with the ball in his hands and his uncanny combination with the game’s record try-scoring forward Steve Menzies will be folklore in Manly’s history for decades to come.

PROUD LIST

IT is 30 years at the end of the season since Lyons mesmerised Canberra in the last grand final played at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Lyons was like a silky, smooth shiraz and simply got better with age.

While Lyons is a runaway best ever indigenous player, Manly has a proud list of indigenous players since the club was formed in 1947.

The loveable George Rose would win most charismatic indigenous player. Utility Paul Shaw was another who comes to mind along with tough centre Albert Torrens.

In tonight’s team, rising star centre Brian Kelly has lapped up the celebrations of Indigenous Week and will have a big contingent of family from his hometown of Ballina in the crowd tonight.

Lyons, at a healthy 55 years of age and a board member of the Sea Eagles, will be cheering on his beloved Sea Eagles tonight from his Freshwater home come kick-off at 7.50pm.

Wonder why he mentioned tough centre Albert Torrens before the vastly more decorated Dale Shearer...

Agreed. Also the 87 team had shearer, Lyons, Shaw, Cochrane and Gibbs.

 

[Nordburg]

And good luck with that!!

Interesting that,considering nobody is allowed to use someone else's betting accounts.

Mal Cochrane I think was chosen in the Indigenous Team of the Century. Outstanding player.

 

[Bearfax]

Cochrane was our second best hooker after Krillich

I still think they'd have been better served keeping Reynolds, signing Foran to play halfback, moving Mbye to hooker and getting rid of Lichaa and maybe some other low priced player. I guess salary cap ( ) dictated who got the chop, but I think Foran could have worked well with Reynolds who for all of his faults is talented and is the heart and soul of that team.

 

[MadMarcus]

If Foz thought he was in a high pressure environment at the Eels (where he was expected to be the next Sterling but effectively replaced Sandow who most Eels fans wanted to see the back of) wait until he gets to the Dogs (where he is expected to be the next Mortimer and they kicked out one of the club's favourite sons to accommodate him).

Probably would have made Reynolds a better player too. He'd be able to do his ad-lib headless chicken thing (that works) without fear, knowing Foran was there to do the sensible stuff.

Mal won the old Rothmans medal?

1986 wasn't it? And yet they still chose Benny Elias to tour with the Kangaroos as Royce Simmons' understudy.....

you forget the magnificent freddy jones,he could really hook

I think so - it def was not 87 so you might be right

 

[Bearfax]

As a true hooker Jones was only second to Schubert (who was almost unbeatable as a rake). But as a modern hooker he would be declared as only solid. Cochrane, like Krillich, was dangerous in attack and solid in defence

Since this prick announced he was heading to the dogs he's played like ****. We'll probably see him playing for the dogs before the June 30 deadline.
