Quote ="manly4ever"Well maybe you should read into more of Manly.Manly have taken alot of players from other clubs back in the 60s 70s and 80s and for that reason they were tagged as the most hated team in OZ.Wests were one team they took alot from ,they were considered the Silvertails back in the 70s.But Manly turned them into the fibros and Manly became the silvertails.People never forget what the mighty eagles did back then.Even Norths hates us with a passion but I can handle that lol.It's like Wigan Hating St helens or vice versa.'"
Manly were liked in the 50's and 60's because we were considered the bridesmaid (i.e make the Grandfinal and lose)
Silvertails was a term made famous from Chris Masters (Roy Masters brother and coach of the Western Suburbs), Roy then got a hold of it making out that the Manly players were living in Castles, drove Bentley's and living a rock'n'roll lifestyle, which everyone took as hook, line and sinker.
I am beginning to think it might be me!!!!?
