Margaret Cunneen must be a better prosecutor than a defence attorney.

She might be a better character witness than either prosecutor or defence attorney.

 

[hozza]

Should be a lesson for Manly going forward. Hope it’s the last of the wannabe gangster signings.

Surely we go to market for somebody, I’d be looking at the UK.

 

[fLIP]

So what’s he get behind bars , does anyone know ??

8-10 years I’m guessing.

Oh well he’s definitely screwed the pooch on his football career.

Sad times for all concerned.

Wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, up to a maximum of 25 years in NSW.

 

[HoldenV8]

I wonder what impact this will have on his friends ... the players in the team.

 

[Harmless27]

hhhmmmmm
A penny for Josh Aloiai's thoughts.... He's had a big old fortnight too just quietly.
Between the jersey situation (being seen as the ring leader) and also being front and centre support Fainu..... I can't imagine he's living the dream right now!

 

[John Nicholson]

What a fortnight for manly. A frikken disaster.

The jersey debacle, limp performances when it counted, fainu.

There needs to be some reality checks handed out.

Manly's recruitment team will be have to be super careful when seeking any players now, having to regard the players ethnicity, social background, current memberships etc etc (in other words, very racist, biased and rejectionist.)

Bad thing to say, but how can you run a professional football team with unforseen things happening, as have the last few weeks. $millions are involved, not to mention the sanity of rabid fans of the Club

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, up to a maximum of 25 years in NSW.

Yeah but they hardly ever give the maximum sentence.

Anyway doesn’t matter now his football days are over.

And can’t but help think that we ( as in MWSE) have wasted 3 years “ treading water “.

 

[eagleron]

And just when you thought the forum was going to get a little bit quieter from last week now this.

what a waste of a few years with him on our books.

such a sad situation all round.

I wonder what this means for the brothers we've kept him around for?

 

[Nordburg]

I’ll be interested to see if any of the “7” come out and support him publicly

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

I wonder what impact this will have on his friends ... the players in the team.

They'll probably refuse to play because nobody in the jury consulted them about the verdict first.

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear

Honestly I think that’s a little unfair on Josh , you may be 100% right but not one person connected to the club / him has come out and stated that he’s the “ ring leader “.

It’s purely social media speculation.

I’m not saying your wrong , but I’m saying what you are saying isn’t necessarily right !!

 

[HoldenV8]

I just can't help the feeling that some are going to play on Sunday with a "I could care less about playing" attitude.

I seriously hope I'm wrong.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well , we have stood by him so they can’t throw that back on the club !!!

Stabbing a bloke in the back, and through a lung and then slashing his face - 25yrs seems fair to me!

 

[The Royal Soup]

And for this ... we let Api Koroisau go

what a great club this is

 

[bob dylan]

Wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, up to a maximum of 25 years in NSW.

And by pleading not guilty he has blown a 25% reduction in sentence..

I know an almost identical case awaiting sentence. They have been told 8 years.

Its a good result because it removes shiit from our streets.

 

[Koko22]

If we followed this thread I was convinced he was innocent lol. The jury found him guilty quick smart and they heard all the evidence.

I can't say I wasn't there but I have never warmed to him he came across as a scum bag guy on social media and the only redeeming factor he had was he played for us.

Good riddance enjoy your time inside. Now Des get Foran to stay for one more season with the spare cash.

 

[Smokin Joe]

From a legal standpoint,what would happen if an individual now came forward and admitted it was them and not Manase?

 

[HoldenV8]

what a great club this is

In fairness to the club, letting Api go and keeping Fainu all happened a couple of months before the church dance. No one knew back then that Fainu would basically never play NRL again.
