The Manly Sea Eagles have paid tribute to English-born grand final-winning forward Phil Lowe who recently died aged 74. 

Lowe was an instrumental figure in Manly's memorable 1976 grand final victory over the Parramatta Eels, scoring the only try for his team in a nail-biting 13-10 win at the SCG.

His performance in that game etched his name into the annals of Sea Eagles history, marking him as a key player in one of the club's most celebrated triumphs.

Beyond his time with Manly, Phil had an illustrious career with Hull KR and the Great Britain national team. He wore the Hull KR jersey in over 400 games, crossing the try line 179 times. 


Our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Sea Eagle #226 Phil Lowe, following his passing, aged 74 ❤️

Phil Lowe played for England and also won a premiership with Manly in the 1976 competition

He was known as a fierce running forward that has been honoured by both Manly and Hull KR

A highlight of his career was being part of the last Lions side to lift the World Cup in 1972, further solidifying his status as one of rugby league's great forwards.

Phil's impact on the field was matched by his influence off it. 

Known for his humility and modesty, he was a hero to many, including KR owner Neil Hudgell, who remembered him not just as a phenomenal athlete but as a cherished friend and a genuine, kind-hearted individual.

'Phil was an extraordinary man. A one-off. He achieved everything in the sport, being a Grand Final winner on both sides of the world. 

'He was decorated for his country many times over.

'Phil did it with modesty and humility. He was my hero when growing up around the sport in the 1970s. 

The sight of Phil Lowe in full flight was something no one who witnessed it will ever forget. He became a very good friend of mine over the last 20 years, we made many great memories together.

'He was always direct and to the point, but had a very kind heart. He was respected everywhere. I won't forget our last trip down under. He met Rob Crossland and I off the quay at Manly and took us in the Steyne Hotel, his local. 

'He was still revered there some 40 years after hanging up his boots. Phil will be greatly missed by his very many friends. A true red and white, Hull KR has lost a legend, and part of its fabric.'
