TOUGH MANLY HOOKER DELAYS SURGERY
Manly's win over a disappointing Cronulla was built on courage, missing several key players while others were walking wounded.
Crafty young hooker Manese Fainu is just one player who deserves plenty of credit. He popped his shoulder a few weeks back and was told he needed surgery.
But Fainu has decided to postpone the operating table until after Manly's campaign ends - and that may well be on grand final day judging by the way they dispatched the Sharks.
Sadly for Fainu, though, he will miss Tonga's end-of-year internationals as a result.
