To the people in this thread that are offering sympathies, thanks for that.
To those that are having a laugh, it isn't a good look.
I'm a Dogs supporter and a member of The Bulldogs Army. Rami is a good bloke and gets out there screaming his lungs out at as many games as he can. He's a loyal supporter much like I'm sure many people on here are of Manly.
He's made a few signs but the ACA one was awesome.
It's worth nothing to anyone else and I find it INCREDIBLY hard to believe that nobody wouldn't have seen it go walking. It isn't the smallest of signs.
Even then it's worthless to anyone else but the Bulldogs fans. It's an inside joke laughing at ACA always having a go at us.
Anyway here are where my cards lay. I was in the crowd around that section and I am an amateur photographer. I bring my gear to every game, and the lenses I use have a pretty superb range and clarity.
I have about 500 shots of the game, including some taken after the game. I will be going through these in hope of identifying who may have taken this flag.
If in the event I am able to accurately identify someone as stealing the flag, I will be handing the photos over to not only Rami, but the NSW Police to follow up the theft.
In addition (because nobody likes a thief), the photos will be posted on as many Rugby League forums as I can find, showing the person responsible, and also sent to the Manly Leagues club in hope of barring that person from future games.
If however the banner happens to make it's way back the the Bankstown League Club, or Rami, then we'll call it even and nothing more will come of it.
So if whoever stole the sign is reading this, just be aware of the above.
Thank you Manly supporters for your assistance in this issue.
