Sea Eagles Trivia Competition

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

I'll accept the answer because it came from a valid source, but my source says otherwise I'm afraid. My source has he played 237 first grade games for Manly between 1971-1983 scoring 78 tries (7 four pointers, 71 three pointers), kicking 914 goals and one field goal for a total points tally of 2070.

Yes, thats correct Chileman, we played our first grand final in 1951. The semi final win against St George on 15 September 1951 was the game our star halfback Wally McConnell broke his wrist, and was unable to play in the GF.

Next question,

In the 1978 Grand Final, who had to endure several pain killing injections to continue in what can only be described by Frank Stanton as "sheer mind over matter"?

 

[wittyfan]

Ohhh, I'll take a stab, is it Chad Randall's dad, Terry?

 

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

Another correct answer Witty.

Frank Stanton, on the heroics of the 1978 Premiership Victory.

"...they were never going to give in. I'll take to my grave the vision of Terry Randall getting up for the last game, needing not one, but several pain killing injections... it was sheer mind over matter"
