Samuela Fainu

[Jay Eagle]

Was it a recent signing? This is from his manager in June when he re-signed with Manly...

He doesnt come up in their list of players

If the Dolphins want them, mid contract, get something (an up-and-coming rookie at LEAST) or another player in return.

Do not be lazy and let them go for nothing. If there is a bidding war between Dolphins, Tigers, Titans and Dragons (possibly others), allow their release to whomever gives us the best return.

That's how you take advantage of a **** situation.

100% agree but last time we went through this we ended up with Aaron Woods. It would be nice to pick up a player from another team where the other team isn't actually happy to let them go, I don't think this has been the case with any of our signings yet

The Sea Eagles just dropped his jersey presentation onto their socials , honestly if you don’t tear up a bit when you view this you’re a hard bastard.

This was barely a couple of months ago, hard to imagine how things could have gone pear shaped so quickly.
In a way it might be good for the brothers to be interstate, bit of a fresh start away from the drama, but on the other hand they are both very young and probably prefer to be close to family.
Hopefully it's settled sooner than later, for all our sakes.

Just a stupid situation that cannot be rationalised.

There ain’t much to like about anything out club does at the moment from slow, insipid play to ludicrously bad recruitment and retention.

Just painful. An organisation, owned, governed, coached and represented by hacks (largely)

Surely needs to be on our bench this weekend!
I know he's leaving but it's not like we are investing game time for youth etc..

Needs to take Woods spot for the remainder of the season!

That "s a fair point and naturally with Alioia and Tent out for a few or couple [ at best ] games . Woodise did go not too bad yesterday but Samual "s mobility should count for something .
Even if he is a bit on the lighter side of experience . 18 th man for Woodise maybe .

It will be Bully and Toff

I'd be giving Samuela Fainu a run we have nothing to lose by playing him.

Noticed he was in the dressing room during the team song. So is still invested for the remainder of 2023.

If he plays well Tarak will demand more $$$ from the tigers lol

Now that Lodge is injured, is Seibold going to cut his nose off despite his face and continue to not pick Samuela?

Or will he move Jake to prop and play this kid.?

Honestly , at this point, it's probably too late. We aren't playing finals. May as well build towards the future.

I'd say play Fainu, Tuitavake and Fifita, because smart clubs would include them as part of their futures. But we are investing in old, slow, big bodies players who are all breaking down like wet kindling.

FMD, WHEN are things going to turn around for us? What's happened to our club ! People are cheering a 45% win rate season. Ugh - frustrating.

2 of those ain’t here mate. We have them to the saints and lol they can’t get a run there and that team sucks more than ours!

That said I don’t give a rats about the Fainu situation, he should have been being picked somewhere. Especially given we had a remote chance to play finals.

This may not be Seibs call…

Replacing Des with a 3 yr contract for a coach that was on the scrap heap has always had a smell about it…

my personal opinion (which may be waaaay off) is that Penn probably has more hands-on involvement in player movements and selections than he needs to now that he has a compliant ceo, coach and recruitment team…

And the WEF, George Souros, the Elders of Zion plus the Martians, are going to take over the Earth.

In all seriousness, he may sign off on player recruitment, but somehow I doubt that extends to picking the team.

Your last point Tezz re signing off on recruitment and team selections do have a link tho. But yeah I doubt he is pulling the team selection strings from above.

probably right, but there’s got a o be more to the whole Fainu not been picked thing…. And there had to be a benefit to signing Seibs from the dung heap

 

[Coops manly]

Why pick him now?
Not here next year may aswell give game time to someone else who is here next year.

 

[We eat the Oysters.....]

If he plays and has a blinder maybe it will show up the coach for all the inept selections since Samuela's last game. I thought he was impressive then never to be seen again. Must be more to it?

 

[tookey]

Seibold will bring in Condom before Fainu

Perfect match for Matterson
