Latu Fainu

[Shoe1]

So it appears our future halves pairing will be Humphreys & Fainu.

Thanks be not seen Humphreys play , is he the real deal it just there because his Dad is the CEO??

He is a very good organizer, wise beyond his years. More a sterlo than a Gibbs or Blake.

Latu is the nicest of the fellas in the family. He's a really good kid. Great signing.

 

[Rackets]

Potentially we could have more than half of our starting 13 comprising the four Fainu and three Trbojevic brothers.

Does that now make us the "family club"?

 

[eagleron]

Fainu. Schuster. Humphries. Three into two?

The Shoe can always move back to the second row if Fainu and Humphries turn out to be a good pairing

Smokin Joe would be able to tell you that

 

[Will on the hill]

If Latu stays with Manly for his entire career we will all be 15-20 years older by the end of his tenure, I'll be retired. Damn Rugby League can make you feel old sometimes.

Definitely plays beyond his years, he will debut very young

Latu is clearly a talent, whether he stays at 5/8 I suppose we'll wait and see.
As for halfbacks, predicting NRL success from junior success seems harder than for any other position.
Check out the best junior halfbacks in the land over recent years. Townsend has won a comp, Moses has played senior Origin and Ash Taylor got a million dollar contract, but not too many household names there.

Halfback junior stars

Junior Roos u/19s halfbacks - Jake Clifford/ Brodie Croft/ Lachlan Croker/Ash Taylor/ Ryan Matterson/Mitch Cornish/ Jacob Miller/ Chad Townsend/ Sam Williams



NSW u/20s - Blake Taafe/ Kyle Flanagan / Troy Dargan/ Jack Cogger/ Drew Hutchinson/ Mitch Moses



Qld u/20s SOO - Corey Paix/ Jake Clifford / Brodie Croft/ Brodie Croft / Ash Taylor/Jaelen Feeney

Yep halves are like pink diamonds today , not many out there

Smokin Joe would be able to tell you that

Just my opinion....
I would have said a while back that had maybe a question mark over him,however with the rule changes I think he is suited to the new style of game.
I don't believe that organizing and directing a side around a park are his strengths,he is a more instinctive attacking player like a DCE or Cody Walker.
I could be wrong but I think that all 3 (Schuster/Fainu/Humphreys) are all more comfortable(and mainly have played there) on the left,Schuster showed this year he ould do the job on the right when he played half for Cherry,hopefully Fainu and Humphreys can be given the opportunity to try to play on both sides in the near future to help round out their games.....

he has a youtube highlight reel so he must be good!

Who is the #4?
He's no slouch either!

Young Talent Time and our future is looking fine

We are now Loaded with future stars / international players

Congratulations to all those at our club that are making this possible

The moral of the story
If we are going to be the number one Gun side once again
We need lots of guns in our squad to blast our way in being the Premier club once again

 

[conanu]

Did anyone notice the awesome training top Latu was wearing, I am guessing we are going back to hoops and this is the new design for the training tops, if so count me in for one I love them.

Feledy - gun centre - big wraps

Did you say Gun Centre ???

We have been waiting for a Son of a Gun for a long long time

I am looking forward to another Occonor , Lyon , Matai , Gartner etc etc

We want more WEAPONS like Turbo in our team

We need to upgrade from the Pop Guns

We want to be the lethal team once again made up of WEAPONS of Mass Destruction

 

[BOZO]

We want backs that fire real bullets and help Turbo put some points on the board

This No Turbro No Manly Win Mentality has to end !

 

[BOZO]

Great days ahead, I'm excited 😊

Exciting times ahead indeed

We are going Back to the Future baby !

Way back when Arko sourced the most brilliant players to make us the most brilliant winning Premiership team

Time to Raise our standards and live up to the Greatest club of all time with the Greatest team of players once again

 

[BOZO]

THE GREAT SEA EAGLE STANDARDS ......

BEING JUST GOOD IS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH

WE NEED TO ALWAYS KEEP RAISING THE BAR

SO WE CAN ALWAYS SOAR ABOVE ALL THE REST

AND ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN ALL THE REST

AND ALWAYS LIVE UP TO OUR LEGENDARY CLUBS HIGH STANDARDS

AS THE GREATS CLUB OF ALL TIME

EVERY YEAR AND EVERY TIME !

I wouldn't say Fainu is an organiser either. He is an instinctive type player BUT I would say he is a closer fit to 7 than Schu.
