Manly Warringah Sea Eagles will reach another remarkable milestone in their proud history when they take to the hallowed turf of Accor Stadium on Sunday, September 15.
The elimination finals match against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs will mark the 100th finals game for the Sea Eagles since the club was formed in 1947.
Manly will become just the fourth club in the history of rugby league to reach this feat behind Easts/Roosters (116 games), St George Dragons (109) and South Sydney Rabbitohs (100).
The Sea Eagles have won eight premierships with the late Immortal, Bob Fulton, the most capped Grand Final coach with five appearances.
Ron Willey (1972, 1973), Frank Stanton (1976, 1978), Bob Fulton (1987, 1996) and Des Hasler (2008, 2011) share the record for most premierships as a Manly coach.
Manly also hold the record for the biggest winning margin in a Grand Final after beating the Melbourne Storm 40-0 in 2008.
The Sea Eagles have also proudly never won the dreaded wooden spoon.
