I watched this match. Melbourne looked more like a representative team from Polynesia so stocked were they with Pacifika players. I just wonder how the Melbourne scouts operate. Are these kids from the Pacific, from Queensland or from Melbourne.
Anyway, many of them were impressive.
Our blokes were pretty good too, especially Humpreys who played hooker and scored a barnstorming try. Fainu didn't get involved much. Not sure if he has already checked out of Manly.
The lad that caught my eye was No. 16. A big kid who was very strong. Anybody know anything about him?
If it is Mafoa you are talking about.
Good player,originally from Eels but picked up from Raiders
Tall unit who started in second row,but has been playing a lot in the middle.
Think his younger brother might be in our Matthews side next year.
Good chance for the future,good upside.

An extremely slim chance of making the 5 next week for the Manly Flegg team.
5th Parramatta on 28pts (+12) v Penrith 3rd next week
6th Melbourne on 28 pts (-12) v Penrith 3rd tomorrow
7th MW on 26 pts (-17) v CB 2nd next week
8th Canberra on 26 pts (-84) v Melbourne next week

Penrith to win both matches and Manly to beat CB next week.

If I remember correctly, a change of coach mid sesaon.
After Round 13, coming last with 2 wins and 9 losses before their season kicked on.
