Sydney Edward Mannix (13 July 1910 – 2 May 1986) was an Australian rugby league player.
Born in Paddington, Mannix had a background in athletics and was associated with the Kensington club.[1] He competed in sprint events and was at one time a relay teammate of Olympian James Carlton.[2]
Mannix played first–grade rugby league for Sydney University from 1930 to 1932. Although utilised mainly on a wing, Mannix could also play centre and five–eighth.[3] He subsequently plied his trade in Newcastle, before returning to Sydney in 1935 to play for South Sydney. His time with the Rabbitohs was brief and after just one first–grade appearance left to coach Moree. He moved on to Canowindra in 1936 and represented Western Division that year against the touring Great Britain national team.[4]
