I remember the whiplash he copped when he got tackled. Almost like Marty Lang.

TSE (the OG) has given me the big rap so I have put a bit of thought into this one in an effort to live up to the hype lol…
I am a Manly old boy, playing in a GF with the mighty Sea-eagles in my rookie year…
Whilst I did eventually move on to greener pastures, I was hardly a journeyman - only ever playing for two teams in the NSWRL…
Amazingly, whilst teams that I played in made 6 GFs during my long career, I was only ever selected for one more GF team after that rookie Manly year - and I got my sole premiership ring that year…

Mmm...not easy. A summary of the clues
1. Local Manly junior
2. Played for Sea Eagles in losing GF side in rookie year
3. Only played for 2 teams in NSWRL (not in NRL or Super League)
4. Losing Manly GF teams (pre NRL) were 1951, 1957, 1959, 1968, 1970, 1982, 1983, 1995 & 1997, so this Manly junior must have played in one of these teams
6. As the teams he played for made six GFs, one or both of these teams must have been very strong.
7. He had a long career
Indeed, who was he?
Guesses would be Lindsay Drake & Glenn Ryan (don't know if he is a Manly junior), but they don't quite fit.
