Meet the Sea Eagles
Your New Favourite Club (If You’ve Got a Bit of Villain in You)
Let’s not sugar-coat it. Manly Warringah isn’t here to win popularity contests.
They’re here to win premierships. And they’ve done that. Eight times.
This club is confident, coastal, and cocky in the best way. If you like your footy with a little strut—and a lot of spine—this might just be your team.
Born in 1947. Booed Ever Since.
The Sea Eagles were founded in 1947, quickly earning a rep as the outsiders with swagger.
Their home? The Northern Beaches.
Their vibe? Winning is better when they boo you while you do it.
They’ve been called elitist, arrogant, even evil.
They’ve also been called champions—eight times over.
Premierships, Punch-ons, and Point-Scorers
Manly’s golden runs in the 70s, 80s, and 2000s weren’t just dominant—they were unapologetic.
They didn’t just beat you. They let you know about it.
The 2008 Grand Final? They annihilated Melbourne 40–0. Still the biggest win in a Grand Final ever.
That wasn’t just a victory. That was a statement.
Manly Icons: Kings of the Beaches
- Bob Fulton – Immortal. One of the greatest to ever lace them. Player, coach, legend.
- Cliff Lyons – Laid-back genius. Beard, boots, and no-look passes.
- Steve Menzies – The man in the headgear. Try-scoring freak.
- Des Hasler – Wild hair, mad eyes, tactical brilliance.
- Brett & Glenn Stewart – Brothers in arms and in brawls.
- Daly Cherry-Evans – Smooth-talking captain with a golden boot and silver service delivery.
These aren’t just highlights—they’re headlines.
The Vibe
Manly is the club you pick when you want your team to have an edge.
They don’t beg for approval. They expect success.
They’ve got history, hardware, and haters—and they thrive on all three.
Supporting Manly is like wearing a leather jacket to a wedding.
You might not be everyone’s cup of tea—but you’ll be remembered.
Why Pick the Sea Eagles?
- You like a little arrogance with your excellence
- You’re not afraid to cheer for a polarising powerhouse
- You love a team that plays like it’s them against the world
- You respect legacy, loyalty, and a well-timed shoulder charge
Step onto the sand. Sharpen the beak. Embrace the jeers.
Manly’s calling.
