Crusher was alway such a monster - but at 185cm and 100kg he is a big guy but no bigger than many backline players these days.
BTW - we should havde won it that year.

'83 was the year of the Chip and Chase Maestro. 27 tries in a season, still a club record.

Unbelievable sharks get 15 and a half start in round one, yet all the tipsters tipped them wtf.Great reading though
I couldn't believe Footy Tab was around back then, I certainly don't remember it that far back
Interesting reading, thanks for posting them.
Funny to read Warren Ryan complaining about Manly being 'spoiled rich kids' way back then. Assuming people scrolled past the 16 year old in a bikini..wtf

She was only there because she is a Manly supporter.

Ironically it was the same year footy tab came out C&C.I remember it well I got pick the winners in round 3 winning $150.That was enough to party for 2 weeks back then.
Nice. I remember the pick the margins used to jackpot to some pretty good sums ($1mil ??? - maybe I'm dreaming) but that was late 80's as I was at Uni and we used to dream our $1 footy tab would buy us a whole lot of partying
Wow.
1983 and headlines are "virus scare" and "Superstars need to take pay cuts due to the state of the game."
twilight zone theme music
Thanks @globaleagle, I was hoping theses articles message weren't lost on us. Nearly to the day, 17th March.
I enjoyed the article at the top so much I went online to see who won re: Manly and Easts.
Manly smashed them!
