I can't believe I've been sucked into the 80's debate again.:roll:

There's no debate - with Arthurson, Fulton and Packer's money, Manly had a massive unfair advantage over othe teams. Yet, with all this behind them, their actual record was a joke. They should have won 10 premierships in a row.

Anyway, we're not here to discuss what an arsehole club Manly is.

We're here to review the fallout between Brohman and the Immortal Arseclown.

Geez that's a really high quality column from Wilson with writing like this:
WE spotted World Cup-winning cricketer Michael Clarke doing his grocery shopping - and buying The Daily Telegraph - at the Lilli Pilli IGA last Monday. Without being too nosy, we noticed some dog food in Clarke's trolley, no doubt for the pup his lady Lara Bingle recently bought. Clarke no longer drives a $250,000 Ferrari but gets around in a Range Rover.

They came because they wanted to experience a club with a winning culture and an administrator that was ahead of his time. Manly didn't need a recruitment team, players where lining up to wear the maroon and white.

Excuse me ? My club won the minor premiership the year before your disgusting club poached the whole lot of them ... Kerry Boustead, Noel Cleal etc etc ... your club is a filthy joke. Arthur Beetson found these players but like you did with Wests, you stole them all.Your club has always been a sickening JOKE.

Boyd was a decent player but more a myth and a complete dickhead on the field. Lets break jaws and try and dig another blokes eyes out. But hey its all a game and it should stay on the field ..... Its even more a disgrace that Boyd got this recognition than Benny did

This is one of those issues where Im not sure where I stand on it.

On one hand, when you look at his pure record, he was meant to be the best second-rower in the world for a five year period or so. He played a fair bit of footy the UK back when it was a very tough place to play as well. I did not watch him play but I've spoked to a couple of blokes of older vintage who say he was pretty good.

On the other hand, both also said words to the effect that he liked to hurt blokes more than play footy. His judiciary record, actual on-field actions and words from other players have backed this up. Even for those times, he seemed to be a particularly bad bloke who got away with a lot of things as well.

Is there a Grub Hall Of Fame?

That's the one Les should be in.

Maybe Josh 'Grub' Reynolds can induct him.

I don't agree with all of the author's comments in this, but he makes some salient points -

Personally I think the old "selectors made me do it" is a bit of bullshit, Geyer has used this as an excuse for many years also.

Seems to be way to avoid responsibility.

And for Masters to use the Roo tour selection controversy (note he labels the QLDers as "mutinous"), what a load of emotive rubbish.

And Vautin and Fullerton-Smith were more Jurbo than JWH.
