Training

[Stevo]

Just wondering if any of you 'hardcore' supporters have been out to training yet? I'm just interested in how the boys look, in particular Lorenzo Ma'fau. Have been told he will be a gun if he can keep out of trouble.

 

[Copa Eagle]

Id love to know how the boys are going ! Maybe some pics will be up soon ! Our preperation may be different to other teams due to WCC duties. Id love to see some pics of Snake running, im hoping hes 100 % fit this year.

Hey Stevo

Who is this Lorenzo Ma'fau ? havent heard anything about him.
Got any info??

Cheers

 

[Copa Eagle]

Lorenzo originally played for the Bulldogs, hes a prop/Second Rower, hes been out of league for a drug ban, 15 months he was out for if im correct. Big Boy !

 

[Haz88]

Really ok then. Has he got some talent has he? Is he a young kid

Thanks for the info

 

[Copa Eagle]

Not sure how old he is mate, a few blokes on here would know ! From what ive heard hes got alot of potential ! He played in Bulldogs 1st grade team a couple of times, lets see how he goes !

 

[Haz88]

For sure will be interesting to see. For us to sign him after a drug ban must have something to offer. Im sure manly can straighten him out to.

Thanks Copa

If the height and weight are correct he's quite small for a prop.

 

[MK Eagle]

He is a ball playing back rower who can make a break himself & put on a good shot. More impact due to offering more quality than quantity - will definately push for a bench spot & if guided well by Tooves will break into the top 17.

The old "spiked drink" defence, always reeks of credibility that one.

I had no idea we signed this guy!! And yesterday it was Sam Short...
And also know we scored a couple of try scoring machines from the Sunshine Coast! Are there any more??

Will he become Manly's first Lorenzo the Magnificent?

Hughie Stanley and Mitchell Buckett...
They both played for the sunshine coast team last year!
If u get to google check out a game they played against central comets on the 22nd of august 2011. Both scored 3 tries! Stanley has played lower grades with the roosters! My mail is the broncos were keen on Buckett but choose the sea eagles because of Daly-Evans...
IStanley also kicks goals...

If the height and weight are correct he's quite small for a prop.

About the same height as Joe and a little lighter, but could put on a few more k's if necessary.

 

[Stevo]

HAZ88 i have been told (from a very good source) that he is lightning for a backrower and often scores long range tries in Q cup. Is a bit of an animal too apparently.

---

On further investigation he played for QLD residents this year and won the Allan Langer medal at the Ippy Jets for best and fairest.

The old "spiked drink" defence, always reeks of credibility that one.

Only marginally in front on the credibility stakes than when Craig Field said someone gave him a "cocaine '' tablet

 

[Haz88]

Cheers Stevo!! That sounds very promising , bit of a animal to i like that, hopefully he has that bit of mongrel in him also(on the field).

Could be a good prospect for us , you would have to think he would learn a fair bit to from our squad with the backrowers that we have!

Did not hear about these 2 speedsters either ?? lol
