This place is so full of self promoters, "mines bigger than yours", what a joke. Profile updated, enjoy.
Outstanding.
Your age and even being a 3rd generation-supporter is impressive (although considering you were born in 1960-and Manly only "existed" from 1947- it's a little puzzling how your prior 2 generations could have been on board before Manly was even created).
Pre-emptive or ethereal support certainly trumps anything I've done (or in fact ever seen...)
Certainly though, your age and years of support are bigger than mine. Not by much but clearly true.
240-odd posts in 8 years here though is a Tom-Thumb compared to my voluminous outpouring of support for Manly in just 8 months. Or, your disdain for " too many egotists" here perhaps means you regard Silvertails as just as unworthy, or even less, than your view on Choc. That's easy. Don't do something you don't enjoy. You obviously don't like it here.
Which is all your prerogative. I myself take a break from here when needed; but again, loyalty to me means you stick through thick-and-thin.
Good and bad, you see?
As indeed Choc did for Manly, for more than a decade.
I'll always respect and appreciate that. And IF Anthony truly wants out, and not remain a one-club-man, I actually agree with letting him go (to Parra or anyone) if he doesn't want to stay an Eagle for life.
I can't see Us releasing him from his contract, and will only believe it when I see it (not due to a hundred newspapers or forum speculations) and even then, still be grateful for what he's contributed to Manly, right from day-dot, as a Manly junior.
And again I'd stress (to both you and Choc, if able), of the 2 (Manly and Parra) I know where I'd rather be. Now, and into the future.
Manly, of course. And Silvertails. Despite my issues here from time-to-time, I've still poured a lot of time, forethought and emotion into the place. And perhaps similar to Choc and Manly, I simply have some frustrations I need to voice now and then (though I'm fully aware I'm only on an incentive-deal here). Meaning with myself and Silvertails, lol.
But from the very little I've seen of U, I'm not sure why you put yourself through the unpleasantness of both supporting Manly AND Silvertails at all, to be frank!
Lastly, you can't complain about "too many self-promoters or mine's bigger than yours" when THAT was your 1st point to me! "I've been supporting them a lot longer than you tough man" IS that same self-promotion you're suddenly now complaining about mate.
