Sea Eagles record tough away win over Raiders
Some astute goal-kicking from full-back Blake Metcalf saw the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles record a tough 24-16 away victory over the Canberra Raiders in the Jersey Flegg Cup on Saturday.

Sorry
Sorry
I think you may have confused Latu Fainu (182cm) with Samuela Fainu (193cm). Paseka is 197cm (as per Sea Eagles website)
Last pic I saw of Latu he had bright orange dyed hair (at least I assumed it was dyed and not his natural colour) bit hard to miss him.
No it was Latu. I know my Fainu’s 😂he was definitely shorter but wasn’t overly noticeable. Looks pretty solid.
Fair amount of criticism of Manly's junior recruitment but on refection we've managed to lure plenty of top young talent in recent years even though some of them get re-poached to other clubs, or some we've just let go.
Plenty including me were disappointed to lose Fifita and Tuitavake but they are just following the likes of other promising youngsters who've come into our junior teams then left, such as Feledy, Mapapalangi, Hopoate, Tom Wright, Ramien, Sione Fainu, Luke Metcalfe, not to mention Garner, Verrils, Hynes (wow, who'd have thought!), Preston. We seem to have a steady stream of good kids coming in, can't keep 'em all, and good luck to those who go on to crack first grade elsewhere.
We mostly keep the ones we really want to keep.
