What player has had 3 stints at our club?

This player came to the club to play junior reps then went to another club then back to us then signed with another club then back to us.
Didn't play much 1st grade and was mostly a backrower.
He was originally from the entrance tigers.
He played some 1st grade at all 3 clubs.
He was no Steve Menzies but had some similarity.

To lighten the mood of all the NRL salary cap BS & losing to Souths, can anyone name a game when Manly led a match 1 - 0?
Hints will follow if you have no idea......

I think that was also the first score in the 1978 semi final vs Sharks. Johnny Gibbs banged it over.

If anyone tried it in 2018 the NRL scandal train would go into meltdown.

With that clue that he came from the Central coast , reckon it could be Daniel Harrison but not that certain

I think you've just won a night out with the Silvertail of your choice Al,,,,,

This would be going back a bit wouldn't it to the days of Bozo and Dennis Ward?

I don't recall any of our usual kickers over the years (Cliffy, Matty Ridge, Cherry etc) giving us a 1-0 lead in a game.

Actually it would be interesting as to what year the field goal was reduced from 2 points to one point . Probably sometime in the early Seventies as guys like Eric Simms used to dominate games back then kicking field goals [ and even win them with field goals ]. Also good rugby converts like Phil Hawthorne and others were quite effective as well . Bozo Fulton was pretty handy slotting the occasional field goal over also when they were worth two points .

I think @BOZO is putting it right out there with his profile pic as a frontline option.

No sir the prize has been claimed by Manly Al as being Daniel Harrison.

My Dad never bought us any peanuts back in the day but that guy was a real trooper. Walking the whole ground, every match, again and again.
