Manase Fainu

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Makes me wonder if the cops still have a hard-on for Manly players after they were made to look particularly foolish over the Brett Stewart case lol

What happens if the case falls apart and charges are dropped? What would that say about not just police conduct, but also about the "No-fault" NRL policy?

It wouldn’t be a back flip with further evidence. Once the prosecution start playing the adverse witness card their case is seriously compromised. They have a confession and retraction from someone else. Little chance of satisfying a jury beyond reasonable doubt.

Not sure about the legal process but I reckon there is a strong chance that this will never go to trial and all charges will be dropped in the not too far distant future.

What Fainu did really well in 2019 was engage markers and create space off the ruck.

He also had a knack of breaking tackles and offloading.

If he could still apply that to the new rules. Wow. I get a chubby thinking about that

 

[ManlyTragic]

I can't believe this:
Crown prosecutor Emma Curran mentioned to the court Fainu had a prior conviction for filming someone “in an intimate situation”.
Surely this prior offence is so different in nature to the one his is facing that the prosecutor should be admonished.

Well he is a hooker!

just sayin’

I think you a having a bit of a stab in the dark there bro!

just sayin’

 

[Dion Johnson]

Hopefully Manase gets a chance to be made available, no footy is a concern and would keep him out of the 17.

You can never have to many players available for selection after the amount of injuries the squad has faced over the last three seasons.

Makes sense.

 

[manlyfan76]

I thought he had good defence for such a young guy.

 

[ManlyTragic]

I am no lawyer …. But you have got to admit that his case is not looking good!

I can see him standing before the judge:
Judge : name ?
MF : manase Fainu
J: date of birth?
MF : 17 July 1998
J: occupation?
MF: hooker
J: your charge?
MF : allegedly stabbing someone who owed money for services previously rendered

just sayin’

Maybe Fainu and Croker share the hooker and ball playing lock roles much like Cheese and Grant are doing at the Storm.

I would prefer Frog starting then getting a rest when Fainu comes on and returns later...NEXT year. Good to have options though.

 

[Cameron]

maybe he shouls just say dummy half

 

[Fonzarelli]

I doubt the nrl will budge, next August is over a year away. Perhaps they will!? If we have this guy back for next season we will be a top 2 side. Croker has been very good but fainu is on another level entirely. Better than api thats why we let him go. We are trying to get things changed so he can play. This to me indicates Des wants him in the side. Over walker id imagine, see what happens. Good headache to potentially have

I understand that hookers don’t mind sharing as long as they both get paid!

just sayin’

 

[Remy]

thing is, he's been going hard on the shisha for the last two years out of the game, his match fitness going to be dreadddddd haha

Usually upfront too... Apparently.

Cliffy says hi.

 

[Shoe1]

The nrl decision should be secondary. If the case is that flimsy his lawyers should be going hard to get the case thrown out.

You're on a roll pal keep it up!
