2. 2020 Season
One word can describe the Sea Eagles' 2020 season; poor. They were just ... there.
At times Manly were flying, at others they were a legitimate reserve grade team with a sprinkling of first graders and a megastar halfback.
Tommy Turbo's injury curse absolutely destroyed their season. If any team loses a player of his talent and importance, of course they're going to struggle. That said though, the Sea Eagles had no plan B.
Des Hasler was able to extract a final's appearance out of a similar squad in 2019. 2020 was one that will want to remain in the rear view mirror. A few fun games aside, they were an absolute punish to watch at times.
