Latu Fainu

[Kalvin]

I think we all just need to chill for now... I do also recall the media suggesting the schu was unhappy and leaving for the Tigers!

Let's blow up with our pitch forks etc if it's made official

 

[Ranga]

Tartak is Latu’s manager. Even if it’s not ‘true’, or we end up retaining him, this story will be written every year about him. Just like it’s written about Schu.

The club knows he is a talent, so there must be more to the story.

 

[40 nil]

Latu was due to come into Manly’s top 30 squad next year but with Daly Cherry-Evans, Josh Schuster and Jake Arthur on their books they would struggle to carry another half.

This part is completely false as both Fainus are already in the top 30. Hopefully, the rest of the article is also fabrication.

Edit: maybe it is Humphreys seeking a release and the gossip mongers have their wires crossed

 

[Seagles68]

It makes absolutely no sense. Both Fainus have been the star development players for a while now. Why would you now let them go. They are the future players the Club needs. It simply doesn't make any sense. So much so I can only think it's BS. The Club needs to come out and say it's BS if it is.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

There's absolutely nothing in this 'sports confidential' rumour.
(but if there is I'm sure there's a very good reason for it!!)

Maybe Tartak wants his salary tripled to stay with Manly.
Makes logical sense for a kid on 250k per year without playing a single first grade game.

 

[tookey]

In good news the club has extended the contracts of Cooper Johns, Jake Arthur, Tualagi, Aloiai, Boyle, Parker and Harper for another 5 years

Tigers see Fainu as Brooks replacement They are also going to sign Fletcher Myers as well

 

[Heckenberg]

Met Mestrov on Saturday night after the Parra game, he said to keep an eye out for some good news for the club in the coming weeks. Not looking very good you ****ing moron

Ben hunt ?

I did read somewhere that the Tigers were chasing Myers, have you the article?

 

[JenEagle]

Are we really losing both Fainus and fletcher Myers ?

Breaking news. We also extended contracts with Tui l,Vaega, Weekes, and Lawton also for 5 year deals.

In great news Manly have also extended the contracts for another 7 years for the 3 Turbo brothers at a joint price of 5.7 million per season. The Turbos said they were more than happy to take unders to stay with Manly.

I don't get it.

We are letting guys like Fifita, Tuitavake, Fainu (to Tigers), Fainu 2 (to Tigers) leave mid contract for nothing.

We keep bringing in castoffs like Woods, Condon, Arthur, Talau and John's .

All this to keep an absolute bunch of plonkers together who have won 6 of their last 22 games (about to be 6 wins in 23) - that's a 25% odd win rate guys over a season worth of games.

We're keeping Flannagan around, who's literally taking any Manly media airtime, and making it Dragons airtime - he's meeting the media after we get flogged (buzz) to talk about his team (being the Dragons). His attention is 60% on that, 25% media work, 15% Manly - and we wonder why apathy has spread through to the playing group.

What an absolute ****ing basket case of a club right now. Makes Tom playing at 25% effort all season up until the game before Origin, then being injured for the remainder of the season good news comparitively speaking.

The kicker in all this, is the fans who are now willing to accept the bull****, because it's become the norm - which is us as a complete laughing stock and irrelevant.

That's not negative - that's ****ing reality. It's absolutely appalling.

 

[maxta]

Josh Feledy is unsigned for next year
Expected Tigers to sign him for the long term.
I'm kind of n shock about this unfounded Fainu rumour and will sus it out today

It's how Penn has operated for ten years.

 

[LeonardCohen]

I’d let Schuster go before releasing Fainu. Latu is fit, fast, strong and creative. Schu is just creative.

 

[Disco]

I dont want to panic yet....but dear god if this is true it is an astoundingly idiotic decision

 

[Sheikheagle]

If true. There maybe more too this than we know. Perhaps it is a culture thing. 🤷‍♂️
