To those that are interested in watching it, at 5:20, Fox Sports 1 will be showing a blast from the past with the Eels v Sea Eagles clash in Rd 10 from 2003, as part of their NRL rivalries series.

Guess it'll help us get back into footy mode, and we'll recognise some old faces at the same time :)

  • Watch 1982 GF and 1983 GF instead. Manly had no answer. :)
  • Haha, I probably could Slip as I have the DVD's of the Grand Final wins, and the the years 81,82,83 & 86.
    Shame I wasn't alive at the time though to see the wins in the flesh.
  • I was 7,8,9 and 12. Those memories will last a lifetime.
    • Lucky man you are then Slip.
      I can only imagine the euphoria that would have been associated with those wins for Eels fans.
      Hopefully, the time arises when I can see one in my life-time, and hopefully soon at that :D
      • It was a brilliant time to be a Parra fan, they were invincible '81-'83 and in 1984 I was in shock and couldn't believe they lost. But sweet revenge in '86.

        Not sure when Parra will win another premiership though. It's been too long.
        • They were definitely the team to beat.
          So many stars in those sides too that will forever be remembered.

          Hopefully, it comes soon.
          • Manly beat Parra ('82 & '83) in both finals games in which the winner goes through to the Grand Final. In 1982 Manly won 20-0, but the Grand Finals were one sided going to the Eels. hahah My favorite game is 1982, halftime score 16-3 (tries 3 points). Manly scored first, but the Parra machine hit top gear.
            • Yeah, the Eels definitely showed the heart to get the re-match and take out the major prize.
              Absolute gem of a team the 80's Eels side was.
  • What about the 1978 Eels v Sea Eagles semi final where Manly scored on the 7th tackle thanks to Greg Hartley.
  • Wasn't alive to see it, but I have heard all about it over the years.
