http://www.theroar.com.au/2013/09/28/manly-magic-as-souths-stumble/ I wonder if the quote 'they don’t contract dickheads' gives an insight into the Broncos? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manly is a club that breeds success and this playing group is a close-knit outfit that stands up with the best sides to have ever come out of the northern beaches. Two players that know more about the culture and inner workings of the Sea Eagles than most are former Manly props Mark Bryant and Josh Perry. Bryant spent four years at Brookvale, playing 80 games for the club, and was a member of the famous 2008 grand final-winning side. He has just retired from the London Broncos in Super League but the Raiders junior is returning to live in the Manly area, and told me he was wasn’t surprised by the club’s amazing comeback against Souths. “Manly have big game players who are now old hands in pressure games,” he said. “The culture at the club is one of a kind, they don’t contract dickheads and therefore have no problems. They might be an ageing squad but they are an ageing squad of champions and class has no age limits. Look at Beaver!!”. Bryant credited the impact of trainer Don Singe. “Donny and all the staff are the unsung heroes. Also the guys that they bring in that they mould into good players. Brenton Lawrence, for instance, a great guy and athlete and now has come on and playing in a grand final in his first year with the club. “The Stewarts, Ballin, Choc, DCE and Foz get the wraps they deserve, great leaders. Tooves is a great coach, a different style to Des but still world class. I never doubted he would succeed.” |
