Jerseys Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Leagues Club Manly Warringah Rugby League Club is one of the leading clubs on Sydney's northern beaches and boasts in excess of 16,000 members. Manly Leagues has always enjoyed a close association with the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles and is very proud of the team. The club's charter includes the support of rugby league in the local area and the outstanding history of the Sea Eagles highlights the success of this support. Local catchment area Historically, Manly has had a rich history of local juniors representing the first grade side, including former Australian, State and Club captains Max Krilich and Geoff Toovey. Other notable former local juniors include 4-time Premiership winners Ian Martin and Terry Randall and 2-time Premiership winners Steven Menzies and Anthony Watmough. Notable former local juniors: Local rugby league clubs play within the joint Manly-Warringah/North Sydney District Rugby League district competition. Stadium When Manly were accepted into the competition, the then Manly Council denied the club permission to use Manly Oval as a home ground. The council at the time was very pro-rugby union and attempted to stop the rival code spread to the area. Because of this, the club decided instead to acquire Brookvale Showground (now known as Brookvale Oval) to host matches, which was supported by then Warringah Council, who owned the ground. The ground was mostly renovated between 1965 and 1980, including the construction of two grandstands along both the southern end (Southern Stand) and western side (Jane Try Stand) of the ground. In the early 1990s, these two grandstands were connected by the Ken Arthurson Stand. The ground has also retained grassy hill areas along the eastern and northern edges. On 1 September 2008, the Southern Stand was renamed the Fulton–Menzies Stand. In recent years, Manly Warringah have received criticism over the state of facilities at Brookvale Oval. In 2007, Manly Warringah stepped up their campaign for government funding to improve the stadium, culminating in a "Save Brookvale Oval" Rally on 21 November. As of September 2008, $4,000,000 of Warringah Council funding and a $6,000,000 NSW State Government grant has been secured by the club to allow for the initial redevelopment of the Jane Try Stand (with an additional level) and improvements to the Southern Stand and other amenities.
