A lot of pressure on their young shoulders but they’ll get their chance sooner rather than later at that club. Good luck to them

How shortsighted & dumb are the Manly Sea Eagles? We let our two most outsdanding young players go to the Tigers because we supposedly can't afford them. However, for some reason, we can afford to buy less impressive and more expensive Tigers' players in Tuilagi & Brooks. We also let Feledy, our best junior centre, go to the Tigers & have now bought TalauBenji’s big recruitment coup as Tigers reportedly win race for star brothers

Latu was contracted so we had afforded him.How shortsighted & dumb are the Manly Sea Eagles? We let our two most outsdanding young players go to the Tigers because we supposedly can't afford them.

From what I've seen Sam is the one we will miss.

I was thinking the same thing
if they were so good why wasn't uncle Nick chasing them as the roosters are going to have a mass cleanout at the end of this year?
Ricky usually chases good talent for the raiders No storm contact either?
Perhaps Tartak's asking price only suited clubs willing to pay massive overs for players?
Dolphins and tigers?
Going to the tigers or dragons is a sure way to kill a career

Latu bumped from the 30 man for Lodge.
When the seasons over.
Let that sink in.

Latu has obviously not impressed the coaching staff as was seen by him being stood down from training and games (in all grades) earlier in the year. Samuela on the other hand worked his arse off and impressed.
Seibold and co may have made a grave mistake in not jumping through Tartak's hoops, but time will tell.
oh well, at least Lodge is an improvement on the sushi train of Tuggers players that end up at Manly Central.

He has been impressive in his last few Flegg & NSW Cup games - enough for Gould to start talking about him on Ch. Nine. Samuela was impressive in all ways, but was still dropped. We have lost a couple of gun players (IMO).

If they were only being chased by desperate clubs and not the glamour clubs is there more to the story than we know.
Is the family more trouble than they are worth?
I find it strange the Roosters didn’t start sniffing around when they are about to do a full rebuild knowing we gave them permission to look elsewhere, that says something to me.
Good luck to them.

Recruiting the Fainu family has been a complete disaster for Manly. Apart from Manases brief NRL stint, we have received nothing positive in return for contracting the other brothers. The family has been given an incredible degree of support by the club, which in the end has led nowhere.
Arguably, even the retaining of Manase and the moving on of Api has been one of the club's worst recruitment and retention decisions ever. Perhaps this call even cost us a premiership.
Goodbye and good riddance to them all. The Fainu circus has finally left the MWSE building.

The talented brothers have knocked back offers from Storm, Roosters and Souths to take up an opportunity at Wests. (I haven't actually seen this reported but can only assume it is true).
Have to agree.
Nothing against the boys themselves,but no good has come from our previous balls deep association with this family.
Sad to see good talent leave, but maybe for the best long term.....for all parties.

Both have shown potential, sorry to see them go.
Hope they have great success in their careers.
