Smokin' Joe's glorious juniors thread.....2021 edition.

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Yeah the reffing was not great but they had their chances tho.

Agreed. They had plenty of chances to win that game, despite the atrocious ref, but just couldn't get over the line. Shame, because they had a great season and didn't deserve to lose.

 

[gracejh23]

Yeah he is rated but hard to drop Harris/Lawler/Gibbs for him right now,they deserve their spots..Reckon he will get a shot as long as we get him re-signed for the future as he is off contract.Thought Fotu might be in the mix but not sure if he is suspended(had a sinbinning and dangerous tackle charge I think),fiery dude who has some mongrel and gets in the mix of things,not a big unit but got to love the way he plays.

i think he copped an injury to his knee , had it strapped through half time i think he caught a bad cork in his knee so maybe thats why

I've heard said that Koula is the fastest in the game, and a rep sprinter. Any comments Smokin'?

Yes.His forward velocity and ability to accelerate is remarkable.

Bloody Whingers up to dirty tricks again. For starters If I remember we played Wests in the Prelim final not the whingers so what on earth is it to do with them to cite one of our players for a game that did not involve them? Ah thats right we play them in the final, come on boys not that you need any added motivation but please put the whingers to the sword on Saturday!

Poor form. Hope the kid has a blinder

Team first approach the focus for Latu Fainu

Exciting young Manly Warringah Sea Eagles five-eighth Latu Fainu doesn’t have to look far when it comes to wanting to take his game to the next level.

Very impressive young man. Obviously a talented footballer heading in the right direction.

He is the one to watch, playing above his age and tearing it up

 

[The Who]

I agree with all the praise that the young Fainu is receiving. But another player caught my eye.
I watched Josh Feledy play last weekend and I was struck by the similarity with the great Jamie Lyon. That's a huge comparison, I know, but Feledy has similar attributes for one so young. He is a centre; solid in stature but not big or bulky; he is fast but not lightening; he hits the holes; he is smart; he finds the tryline somehow, some way; he tackles strongly; he's a real competitor . . .
Let's hope he continues his progress.

Leadership qualities shine through in Josh Feledy

Talented young Manly captain Josh Feledy can certainly live up to the meaning of ‘leading by example’.

Hasn't the coverage of Manly in the telegraph of the matthews and ball cup been non existent. Today's paper has nothing on the matts. Yesterday the teams were listed only for ball.
Every week no mention except for when it was a write up of who was playing Manly.
Poor,poor,poor

We have the same ref that killed us last week refereeing the Matts final, the commentator lost any credibility he might of had by saying and I quote. "The Ref had a great game last week" I could not stop laughing when I heard that!

 

[Remy]

Imagine this young Manly team in the future all in their prime:

01.Tom
02. Saab
03. Feledy
04. Kolau
05. Tuipoltua
06. Latu Fainu
07. Schuster
08. Paseka
09. Manase Fainu
10. Sione Fainu
11. Olakatau
12. Ben Trbojevic
13. Jake Trbojevic

14. Kaoe Weekes
15. Samuela Fainu
16. Alec Tuitavake
17. Zac Saddler

Trbojevic Bros x Fainu Bros dominating the next 10 years for the Eagles.

 

[KaZa]

The Fainu era will win us our next Title. Those boys are something. All four of them. Hopefully the big bro can get off and lead the rest. Absolute weapons

 

[nightster]

16-0 and playing well - what’s with the clock?

Held up, well done, oops spoke too soon
