funny you should mention that, but the first ever rugby league player to
openly admit he was gay, actually played for Manly.....

the suburb of Manly actually got it's name from Captain Arthur Phillip about
200 years ago. He sailed across Sydney Harbour to Manly, and was greeted
with a hostile & unfriendly group of local aboriginals, whom he described as
having a "manly" fighting spirit with a passion for protecting their land
from intruders...

oh & Manly beach is famous for it's Norfolk Island palms too.....
