Manase D Day

yeah he looked massive.

my guess is his football days are over, a pre season wont fix the body i saw on tv.

He's not that bad

He's put on a bit of beef but he can definitely cut that size down with a good stress free pre season.

There's a lot of fatists on this site.

Too right. The club is already working with Georgie to develop a special fatty inclusive jersey. No issues in finding a sponsor either…. KFC and Maccas are all over it…

Can’t wait to buy one.

I guess they trimmed Suli down.

I’m not a lawyer,obviously,but if this is one of the victims statements,how does a case get this far,am I missing something or is the “smoking gun” still to come?Is it any wonder courts get clogged up

Ask Brett Stewart. After the accusation against him in 2009, there were reports within a week of the alleged incident of no Stewart DNA on the alleged victim, despite her and her father’s claim that Stewart had touched her inappropriately.

Despite that, it played out through the police/judicial system for another 18 months.

Personally I'm liking Fainu's chance's of what has been reported so far.

Agreed, I'm becoming cautiously optimistic

 

[Red Pill]

Will let the process take care of it self before commenting on the perceived outcome.

If he is innocent and plays next year he maybe able to take over from Dylan Walkers role.

Per

You would not think so but who knows? How big was the fence? What were the footholds? Did someone assist him?How pissed was he? (drunk and angry)
Unless the witness has a reason to misidentify him it is pretty hard to show 'it was the other bloke in the sling'

Perhaps the witness has/had an ulterior motive, Cunneen I'm sure will press this person on background, association etc, it wouldn't be the first time a witness has been motivated by a grudge, jealousy or bad blood, a lot of these young blokes see themselves as gangsters, I can remember Fainu and AFB posting gangster sh1t on social media and what happened at the Church dance is not unusual when two of these 'gangs' come together in a social setting so anything is possible

 

[eagleron]

I would suggest it is not the best to speculate on any of the potential facts in the case

You're right mate even though I just did

 

[Woodsie]

Is this Big Buck ??

 

[KaZa]

I guess they trimmed Suli down.

Haha exactly. At least he will have a training buddy with Shuster. Both need to hit the gym hard.

 

[lsz]

It is very hard to hold off!

 

[eagleron]

I wonder if anyone will go sit in the public gallery and get some of the details for us like @DSM5 did for everyone during the Brett Stewart trials

If I lived in Sydney I'd be up for it, haven’t got a lot of anything else to do these days

Crying out loud ER, the victim doesn't know who stabbed him, said it was dark couldn't see and said he doesn't know if Fainu was the one who stabbed him !!. And as far as the witnesses go, very shady characters with shady testimonies to say the least. And we had to wait nearly 3 yrs for these revelations to finally come out now. The NRL need to compensate Fainu for legal expenses and lost earnings at the very least when they find him not guilty.

Having been royally rooted by the legal system myself I'd rather wait for the outcome than predict it, particularly in a jury trial, we can only hope that the jurers feel the same as we do although they won't be wearing the same rose coloured glasses as most of us

We might have to loan him out to the Dragoons for the rest of the year, I don't think Donnie's got it anymore

As a fan I like knowing whats going on ... I don't care how fat anyone is in their own time but its clearly in everyone's interest for him to be fit because if he was and he beats the case he'd slot straight into Blacktown Workers and be an outside chance for Manly this year

For reference Jack de Belin was back in NSW cup 2 days after the charges were dropped

 

[WiseyEagle]

Saw him front on, unobstructed view last night on the news. He has certainly bulked up over the last 3 years. Not sure about the lighting speed and mobility that was then will be there now?

Sorry that happened to you. I only ever had to go to court once as a witness from a workplace I'd left years before. Holy ****, the barrister from the other side decided the best tactic was to savage me and hopefully somehow trip me up in my evidence about which I cared not a jot tbh. The tactic didn't work but I still remember the venom. It was nasty but clearly, for him, all in a days work.

Yes. One of the many aspects I don't like about the court system is that it is gives barristers a platform to showboat and try to show how clever they are. They can ask smart-arsed question but the witness can't respond in such a way or else they'll be told "I ask the questions here" and the judge/magistrate will reprimand them and tell them to "stick to the facts, not your opinion."

Certainly not a place for the feint hearted, those bastards can fck with your mind to the point where you can even doubt your own memories, it's a very intimidating place to be unless you're on the side of the prosecution. That said, ten years ago I had to fight for my grand kids in the family court and my previous experience gave me more confidence than I ever believed I was capable of, I took them on and won, the judge was against me from the outset but because of my tenacity, dogged persistence and new found investigative skills I was able to eventually win the day, wouldn't want to go through it again though, it completely consumed me for almost 12 months, but in the end it was worth every minute
