Nik Kosef played 158 games for Manly from the end of Mick O’Connor (1992) to the beginning of Anthony Watmough (2002). He played for NSW eight times and Australia eight times. And he often managed to keep the No.13 on his back while his mate Steve “Beaver” Menzies ran off Cliff Lyons wearing a second-rower’s shirt. He even wore the No.6 when Lyons was not about. Fair player.
