Zorba's column today

[Bearfax]

Nathan Hindquarters?

 

[MadMarcus]

Cam Smith is a forward....

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

Henry Tatana (for the oldies)

 

[Mitch]

Another great little excerpt from the article was a story about Manase Fainu, who at training went to introduce himself to a ‘stranger’ that was watching on. That stranger happened to be Max Krillich. When Zorba told him that he represented Australia and NSW as a hooker and played 349 games for Manly, Fainu said “Good, same position, I can learn from him”. Fainu and Funa have apparently been carving up at training.

Great little story!

Cam Smith is a forward....

Yeah but we hate him

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Dave Brown (the original not the Queenslander that played for us in 83/84) was one hell of player e.g. 1935 season he scored 38 tries (still the all time record) and kicked 65 goals for a total of 244 points

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

And yes we hate Scam

 

[Christol74]

Phil Gould was a goal kicking forward
Daryl Brohman also kicked goals but that ended when he delivered that savage headbutt to Les Boyds elbow.

Yes it was Big Marn’s fault. Just ask Bob Fulton.

Henry Tatana (for the oldies)

"for the oldies".......I've never been so insulted in all my 102 years.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

OMG I remember him!

 

[ALinda]

The first paragraph of Zorba's column today:
"An explosive bench - potentially the best in the NRL - has propelled the Manly Sea Eagles into an excitement team." He was then singing the praises of our bench who all had blinders last week.
But the sentence that I love is:
"Watching Manly will be a load of fun this season" which gave me goosebumps!

How times have changed, sadly...

In Zorba's column today not a word about how poorly Manly played on Thursday, or the blizzard-like weather, let alone a well done to the brave fans who turned up and watched a loss like that. I know he was probably in his comfy corporate box but still we fans would like some sort of gratitude or encouragement. Oh that's right, fans are irrelevant. And they wonder why the Brookie crowds are low.

At least on the club website in the Things We Learnt piece they thanked the fans who did show and apologised to them for the piss poor show we gave for their time.
