As usual we were screwed over by the ref losing despite scoring 3 tries to one

A great video from one of our 1947 players Abbey Barnes

Abby Barnes - 1947 player

Centre Abby Barnes played for Manly at Brookvale Oval on April 12, 1947, on the Club’s very first day of premiership matches. We take an enjoyable trip down memory lane with Abby.

Lol, goggles off for a moment they did join the same year as us so I assumed would have played their first game at the same time.

would any of them still be alive other than Sterlo who copped the electricity bill for leaving the light on in the trophy room and no one else had been there to turn it off?

Typical. Nothing has changed.

My father was there as a 13 year old. He went on to play for Manly and supported the club for the rest of his life.

Great achievement for Manly BUT I am not sure how you can use "great" and "achievement" in the same sentence as "Parramatta". Definitely a contradiction in terms
