If it wasn't for a childhood friendship with Manase Fainu, Moses Suli would never have made it to Manly.

His highly promising career would have been cut short before it had ever really picked up steam after playing just 15 games on a million-dollar deal with the Tigers and failing to take the field for the Bulldogs.

As Suli's stocks plummeted due to concerns about his commitment off the field, he had an ally on the northern beaches.

His high school teammate and childhood friend Fainu had convinced then Manly coach Trent Barrett to hand the teen prodigy a trial at Manly.

"I asked him if he could have a chance here, see how he goes. Baz let it go through and ever since then he’s been here at the club," Fainu told the Herald.

Coz they'd only have enough money for a dry piece of bread at the end of the week.

That may work in Sulis favour.

Family means just about everything to Islanders. With the money those boys are earning, living at home helps their families a lot. I understand that they have to go out on their own at some point, but I can understand still living at home, if for no other reason than mum's cooking, mum's cleaning, mum's laundry and mum making sure they are out of bed early enough to get to training on time lol.

The TurBros still live at home too

They can't decide which one of the 10 or so properties they own to live in so they just rent them out and stay with Mum's cooking!

Nice!

When they're on the field they are men, off the field though a lot of guys are still boys, and when you have a lot of boys sharehousing, sometimes things don't end well.

No matter how strict house rules are, for young blokes, Mums cooking, and laundry trumps all.
