Sea Eagles Trivia Competition

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

Being the off season, the forums are a bit slow, so, I decided we should have a trivia competition.

Each correct answer by each forum member will be tallied at the end of the season, and they will be crowned the 2007 Trivia King. :lol:

I'll start us off with an exceptionally easy one.

Q1. What was the score in the 1996 Grand Final, and who scored St George's only try?

Best of luck.

 

[chileman]

Well I'll never forget the score as my dad was a Dragons supporter so he copped it for a month.......20-8 , I know Bartrim kicked a couple of goals but not sure off the top of my head who scored the try!

 

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

Yes Chileman, thats correct, the score was 20-8 in favour of the mighty Eagles.

HINT: The try was scored in the corner

 

[Harold Bishop]

Nick Zisti scored i am pretty sure.

 

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

Yep, thats correct Harold Bishop, it was Nick Zisti.

So atm, scoreboard reads:

Chileman - 1
Harold Bishop - 1

Q2. How many tries did Brett Stewart score in 2006?

All questions will be easy until I find my Sea Eagles Fact Book!

So questions such as Manly's last premiership win won't be coming until you find your fact book ;-). Coz i highly doubt you were alive when it did last happen, and if you were, you were too young to remember :lol:

:roll: The last question was on Manly's last premiership win!! ;-) Even so, there will definately be a few questions on our 2006 triumphs over the Bulldogs in Rnd 7 and Rnd 25. How could anybody ever forget?
