The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles are set to etch their name in the annals of rugby league history as they gear up to play their 100th finals match at the prestigious Accor Stadium on Sunday, September 15.
This milestone is a testament to the club's rich legacy that dates back to 1947.
In a sport where every point counts and every tackle matters, the Sea Eagles will join the elite ranks of Easts/Roosters, St George Dragons, and South Sydney Rabbitohs as one of only four clubs to achieve this impressive feat.
It's a nod to the blood, sweat, and tears shed on the field over the decades.
Led by the legendary Bob Fulton, the Sea Eagles have soared to victory on eight separate occasions, solidifying their status as a powerhouse in the rugby league world.
With names like Ron Willey, Frank Stanton, and Des Hasler gracing the helm, Manly has seen its fair share of triumphs and heartbreaks on the grand stage.
One particular moment etched in the collective memory of Sea Eagles fans is their unforgettable 40-0 victory over the Melbourne Storm in the 2008 Grand Final.
It was a display of sheer dominance and skill that left their opponents reeling and solidified Manly's place in rugby league folklore.
As they prepare to face off against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in the elimination finals match, the Sea Eagles will draw upon their rich history and fighting spirit to once again rise to the occasion.
It's a momentous occasion for the club, one that will be etched in the history books for years to come.
