The Peach in any colours other than ours is sacrilege. It cannot be forgiven.

Mat Rogers in a Wallabies jersey was absolute spew. Again, should never of happened.

I am glad I wasn't around to see Steve Rogers don a dirty red V. Lance and Barrett x 1000 wouldn't make up for that.

I couldn't really give a toss if players from other clubs go to another club, unless of course they're a dud and come to us.

Steve Price in a Kiwi's jersey for the All Golds tour was a mind ****

To make matters weirder, Bennett was the coach

Cliff Lyons in a Manly jersey. I have no doubt we would have won a premiership or two if he stuck around.

To be honest, we barely realised we had him at the time. He was in lower grades and, though I recall some ball skills, he seemed lazy and a little overweight. Hardly stood out at a time where almost no clubs had conditioners who would whip any player into shape.

We were wrong...didn't recognise the true talent within.... it happens.

That same seeming lack of greatness early in careers also got Gavin Miller away from the Roosters to us...and he turned out a beauty. Ditto Ken Maddison (from Dragons), Paul Gallen (Parramatta juniors) and many others.

Yep agree.

Still, it hurt seeing him leading Manly to premierships knowing what might have been.
