Manly Sea Eagles vintage pub poster

Spied this gem on Twitter. https://twitter.com/theseaglebloke/status/959356601332252672

Anyone know where to see it anywhere on a pub or to buy?

Looks like its been painted from a photo of Rex Mossop or Roy Bull at North Sydney Oval. Those jerseys have always been my favourites. I thought in those days that the Bears had jerseys with saddles and large numbers indicating their positions, but this image must be from an earlier era - the late 50s, early 60s.

Wonder if not an original? Seems to be the same as this one but with Manly jerseys.

Or maybe those Saints players and Souths player transferred to Manly and Norths two years into their four year contracts.

I’ll look into it. I suspect that the breweries printed versions suitable for different parts of Sydney.

Generic players rather than actual ones I'm guessing.

Number 33 reminds me of Phil Blake.

Not a good pass but Blakey was also a brilliant attacking player

Manly robbed on that double movement call!

The manly style of play is recognizable even with unlimited tackles and a very skinny 5 yard rule. Always on the attack.

 

[The Who]

Thanks Bozo. I'd not seen that before. I am surprised at the number of times the defender kicked out at the dummy half.
Just shows you that today's style of play does have some advantages; 10 metre rule plus six tackles are improvements.

I’m keen on the poster. I might try calling some of the Breweries or might even take a snap with me when I go to Bali and see if I can get a replica made.

I have the one below which is also done in that vintage pub poster style. As you can see, in it's day it's been stuck up and folded so is showing it's age. I saw the same poster, but in better nick, go for mid $200's on eBay recently.
