Manly did him a favour back in 1970, if it wasn't for Bucknell breaking his jaw, Sattler would have disappeared into rugby league obscurity, instead he's now part of rugby league folklore.
We always hear the bullsh%t story of how Manly pillaged Souths of it's players, Bob Moses left Souths at the end of 1970 because they didn't want him, as in those days Souths had virtually an international pack in reserve grade.
Brannighan and O'neil joined in 1972, as Souths expected them to play for far less than what Manly were prepared to offer.
But who really cares about what John Sattler has to say except for "The Pride of the League" fans
