Manase Fainu

[Mark from Brisbane]

I’m still of the belief that he’ll never be the same again IF he returns.

Yeah I know he’s been training etc etc but he’s lost 3 years of playing.

Nigh on impossible to come back from that and be the same as you were.

Wasn't Manase's shoulder still a bit crook even through part of last year. Just not sure how many games he would have managed even if he was available the past couple of seasons with that injury concern. Very unhelpful with his delayed judicial process but doesn't seem much attention with that previous shoulder issue. Still relatively young and should still have his footy ability and skill level to show again if the opportunity does finally or hopefully come to resume a playing career at a top level for Manly.

Jake Granville could've been signed last year if we'd moved out some of the deadwood still hanging around the place.

 

[Supreme Leader]

Manase's trial is slated for mid to late July, if found not guilty, and it's looking that way. He should take the NRL to the cleaners.

What's the odds on a retrial, and if found not guilty will they continue to stand him down pending such appeal....

Deadwood , we have deadwood , who’d a thought

Big chance, this could go on for a few more years yet !!

That’s why we should be giving Gordon T little stints in certain games to develop him into more of a role next season

Prosecutors cant appeal a not guilty. It will be over if hes found not guilty.

Te Marie Martin is going OK after, I think, 3 years out of the game.

If he wants it badly enough, he can probably achieve it.

Whilst it’s a completely different level/standard,Martin played park League in NZ with his brother last year.

Te Maire Martin has made a successful comeback to the NRL after nearly 3 years out. Prior to that, he played some games with Wynnum-Manly & a local team in NZ.

What's the odds on a retrial,

For the information that has filtered through, it appears the trial outcome will depend mainly on the strength of the prosecution's case. If their witnesses are unreliable, it might be easy for the jury to return a not guilty verdict.

 

[mickqld]

Manase is 24 in July. If he comes back next year, provided he's not another chronic injury victim with that shoulder, then he could get back to his best.

I wonder how it works in terms of the cost of rehabilitation for a train and trial contract? His recovery may be slower as he is not a priority to get back on the field based on his situation. In saying that he has had 2.5 years to get it right despite the infection which I believe was in the first 6 months off.

Or Cameron McInnes. He was explosive. Had the compete. Did everything at speed.

Aaarrrggghhh. I would hate for you to be right. But then....

Look at the Hayne example , it’s still going

Yes , but it could well be a hung jury , bingo there’s another year !!

 

[Eagle 1]

The Manly club will be fined by the NRL if they acuse them of bias. The NRL are doing there best, but do make mistakes in screwing Manly

Your're last bit, obviously a cynical jibe no doubt...

 

[Eagle 1]

Nah.. Mark, it's gone on long enough, can't see a retrial tbh.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Nah.. Mark, it's gone on long enough, can't see a retrial tbh.

But if it’s a hung jury it’s a no result , so they have to go again.

He won’t just walk away if that’s the case
