2020 hooker (and Fainu disc.)

[ALinda]

Levi seems a bit on the small side (may just have been one photo I saw, not sure of his actual size). Fainu was big for a hooker, Api not so much but he was deadly in defence.

Having met Levi on Saturday, he didn't strike me as being particularly small and I'd liken his size to that of Cook and McInnes.
I checked their wiki's, and even Scam's, and they're all 88kg, so in that respect he's about average for a hooker.

Thanks, good to know. Have to admit, I don't watch too many non-Manly games but I have noticed Levi in the past and thought he was a pretty good player.

I watch every game, every week...stream availability dependent, and have seen quite a lot of Levi and always thought he is ok and would go even better in a good pack under a good coach.

I'm pretty happy to have him. Especially considering the timing.

i think he will go good with us.

Good mate of mine spoke with Des a couple of days ago. Levy going well and expects a really bold showing from the team this year.
Under the radar at $13 .....mmmmm

I’m really keen to see how Levi goes for us, and I have full trust in him. And again, Des is god - after seeing the improvement he made with Brad Parker, that man can do anything!

But speaking about Fainu again, I’m starting to feel more and more confident about his case. If Manly thought his case was going to fail, I think they’d keep him in the dark. But instead he was at the fan day, mingling with fans and in great spirits. And himself and his family have just recently moved to the Northern Beaches. I might be reading into it too much but to me those are good signs. And if he is found not guilty mid way through the season (or whenever his trial is), how dynamic would our hooker rotation be with him and Levi - OOOOFT!!!

Has anything happened with his court date. I thought I read on here somewhere that it was earlier in the month. May have been delayed or something.

Unsure when the actual trial date is, but hes next in court on March 18.

My annual $50 bet ( the only punting I do in a whole year ) for Manly to win the GF is at 17-1

Mind you it’s 10 years since I’ve had a payout so I’ll only be a fraction in front if we did win this year.

In 2018 what round did you tear your ticket up?

about round 6

My last memories of Levi was his constant milking for penalties. Hope des gets that out of his game.

I hope Des gets rid of any shiit Nathan Brown taught him.

Guildford Heights?

Think Sea Eagles training facilities would be in direct line from Manase's left hand

That picture looks like he is practicing being behind bars.

Well i saw nothing of Zach Dockar-Clay on the weekend that impresses me.

Yep, even Ipape looked better.

 

[Freagle]

Yeah, was a bit disappointed with Dockar-Clay. Saw him a few times for BWSE last year, and he had hustle...was always trying something, very energetic etc. He looked pedestrian and a bit lost over the weekend. Hopefully just a one-off...
