MANASE FAINU (SEA EAGLES):
Manly's Haumole Olakau'atu and Manase Fainu celebrate victory after the Parramatta Eels v Manly 2017 Holden Cup U20's Grand Final. Picture: Brett Costello
Didn’t make the Holden Cup team of the year but was captain of Wayne Lambkin’s grand final-winning Manly side and also named the premiers’ best and fairest. Started the year in the halves but really found his home at hooker and was rewarded with a two-year contract extension. Tough and fearless, he’s also clever and apparently has the right amount of that other crucial ingredient all good hookers need, “mongrel”.
