And quickly on Levi’s size - he WAS very small when he first started, but was only like 19 or something. He has a pretty small frame, but is quite muscular these days. Will be able to hold his own. Fainu is a bit of a freak with those carries, when he makes prop-like metres after impact. Stronger than he appears. And Api was just a hardcore beast, Locke watching a guy who is 5’7” driving a Burgess bro backwards in defence again...

You are in good hands now, all the best for this year and many more to come.

Great to see the huge smile on Danny Levi's face in the interview on the club's website. Hope the year works out for him - and us!
Levi is very close to being our key man this year. We don't need him to star or be exceptional but we do need him to (a) stay healthy and (b) perform to a consistent standard for decent minutes, week in week out. Fingers crossed for him and Manly!
Have no fears Ser8 .... At Fainu's age he had already represented NZ ... He is tough ..has a good workrate and is a no nonsense dangerous weapon ... and I am backing him in to become a SeaEagles favourite very quickly ....
I presume you mean the night club bars 🙂
Fainu had the world on his feet
Now he has a lot on his hands
Our club is standing by him and believe in him
and so should we .
Hopefully he can get back on his feet soon and show the world the best version of him self

have a sneaking suspicion our boy will be back playing this year later on in the year, (pending speed of trial and all) met another young islander through work who claims he was there that night and unequivocally says Manase is innocent, (have alluded to his innocence before) this individual has served time and I cannot see any reason he would lie, feeling better about the whole fiasco now, cant wait to have him back leading the big boys, hot diggity manly
40 nil
It's only a game ...
Certainly hope so. Apart from his value to the team, I enjoy watching him play. It would be a shame if the career of such a talented player is cut short in this manner.
Even with a quick trial his shoulder will keep him out for some time

It surely will but if he is really innocent of the charges that will be priceless to team, club and fan harmony mate.
He has a lot of family and mates in our system. An innocent, fresh Fainu would be valuable anytime it happens.

Fingers crossed it all gets sorted and his innocence will be proven. The fact that he is still around the club shows that they aren't willing to give up on the kid and us as fans of the club should do the same. Can't wait to have him back in the maroon and white.
No doubt you asked him the obvious question, namely, will he come forward to be a witness!

Hope you're right. Of course this blokes not in prison anymore and everybody knows they kick you out if you're caught lying.

I don't think there should be any issues with Levi's size. I mean, Tooves was a comparative shorty and lightweight in comparison and he still took down heavyweights like Lazarus, Harragon, Spud (when he didn't play for us), Sargent, Roach and Sironen.
To slightly change an old saying ... its not the size of the Sea Eagle, its the size of their fight.

Tooves was a freak though!

Tooves was also just about all heart.
