Maori Warringah. Manly with NZers goes back to Graham Lowe's time & earlier. Mark Broadhurst early 1980s. Not sure if any before that.

A bit off topic, but seeing Mark’s name reminded me instantly of the Newtown game and the hiding Bowden gave him, strange how memories are triggered

2 very important points.

1. How did the dogs let Harper go? he looked pretty bloody good back in 2019.
2. he's never allowed to cut his hair. looks ridiculous with short hair.....

ZinZan was on the way at some stage. Didn’t work out though.
Showing my age I guess.

Signed at the same time as Ridge. Were told not to discuss salaries, Ridge was embarrassed how low he was so he added on some GST and Zinzan got the ****s thinking he’d been ripped off lol

Thanks for that BK, some of that footage took me back, Mark seems like a pretty decent bloke, a little sad to know his got a battle coming, but his old school and he‘ll aim up and get on with it, his attitude was spot on, I wish him well in the years to come.

Played out that whole semifinal with depressed cheekbone fracture thanks to Newtown headbutts.
At 1m 27s in that video is that Craig Young being neatly sat on his arse? The most notable thing about that - no-one rushes in! Maybe his teammates thought he deserved it. Or more likely they admired the quality of Broahhurst's punch and decided they didn't want to try one.

The bay scenery in that interview is stunning. Where is it in NZ that Mark is being interviewed?

Re Young, bit of both probably, but I’m going more with your initial line of thought

If we make the GF, I estimate half the crowd will be dressed up as Lionel Ritchie.(well I will be anyway. Dressing up as Wolfie in 2008, was one of the best days ever.)

Love it @wombatgc! Brings back fond memories and that's a super idea about Lionel dress-ups...

Our club always had big link to NZ through the 90s with Bozo and Lowe.
Morgan Harper been a great find

The Dogs footage shows the same unselfish play we’ve come to love. Setting up tries for Okonbor on multiple occasions there, just like he does with Saab. Smart player. Good stuff.

A tip for any media reading this looking for a story. Go get Lowie and get some comments from him on 2021 Manly's NZ infusion.

The interview with Broadhurst was in Kaikoura.
