RL Trivia No 8

[fLIP]

How many Test Captains has Manly produced. Who are they and what years did they capatin there test side?

 

[Canteen Worker]

Bob Fulton and Max Krilich are the two I am certain about. Others may have had a game on tour here and there!

 

[Fluffy]

Disnt Tooves captain Australia in 97.

I know he captained SOO around then

 

[fLIP]

You got Krillich. He was from 82 - 83 there is only one more. Not Fulton

 

[Canteen Worker]

Did Roy Bull ever captain Australia - or Dessie in NZ in the mid-eighties.

 

[fLIP]

Nope, fluffy got it but the year was 96, not 97.

 

[sue ridgepipe]

fulton got the job when he played for easts.1978 roo tour.

 

[Matabele]

Krillich captained the Invincibles Kangaroo Tour in '82.

Then Wally Lewis repeated the feat in 1986.

Meninga wasn't good enough to keep the run going.

 

[fLIP]

I never knew Bozo went to easts. damn :x

 

[ManlyBacker]

So did Fatty. A place for Manly legends to finish

 

[Canteen Worker]

Bozo was captain and captain coach for a little while at the Rorters. He left Manly - though reputedly he never signed a piece of paper and had a handshake agreement with Arko.

Fatty left as Manly wanted to pay him less - little known fact is that Max Krilich accepted much less in last few seasons just so that he could still play for the Eagles.

Both Fulton and Fatty wouldn't accept a lesser contract and took the bigger money on offer elsewhere!

 

[fLIP]

As would any reasonable man. When your career only spans 15 years you take everything you can get.
