Which is correct????
They're both correct, TB.
The first one applies to the post- NRL era. That 12.5% pertains to clashes at Pirtek before 1998.
The 2nd one applies to the NRL era.
Manly's biggest win over the Eels at Pirtek Stadium came on March 20, 1988, in a 64-12 win.
I almost went that day.
I wore a black armband to work on the Monday ...
LOL Weren't Parra leading 12-6 at halftime? I think the second half was a smash up.
Ricky there is no post NRL era as it is still going as far as I am aware. Perhaps you meant pre NRL era??
Maybe this is why I am confused???
Indeed it is, TB.
My bad there.
