Neither team could have lived with the Bulls performance in 2005.
A bit tough that one seeing as we weren't involved.
I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

Assuming you meant 2006, I'm not sure I agree. Manly were surely a class apart from anything we have seen in the WCC, especially in that third quarter before they relaxed a little too much?

Shouldn't 2002 be classed as the best win by any club considering the Newcastle side contained the supposedly greatest player ever in Andrew Johns.

Wish I could agree, but realistically and without taking anything away from a superb Bulls performance in shocking conditions I don't think so. Regardless of who their personnel were, the Knights looked nothing like as prepared, professional and determined as Manly did, IMO.
I guess we'll never know though, because had Leeds been more effective at containing Manly then obviously they would not have looked as good. So its hard to compare directly, isn't it?

menzie's was missing aswell
winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11
