Can’t go wrong

 

[Tiger Stripes]

If Samuela Fainu wants him to turn his life around at the WTs ..im all for it.

Doesn't sound like Sam has plans on leaving. Sign up please.

 

[TigerBurnsy]

Brilliant ball player at his best...loves the no look pass ala Benji.
I like Manly paying him to play for us.
Could be good

Paying him to not even play with us, atm he’s being paid to train once a week lol

 

[TigerBurnsy]

I like it. Don't have any high hopes for him but if he somehow makes it back into first grade it would be a great story. Wonder if he will play halves or edge forward?

Lock or edge forward I reckon, but too big for the halves and our forwards have little depth

 

[EllisFan]

Leopards rarely change their spots but glad we took a shy at the stumps in a position of extreme need. Forwards depth.

At least he’s on no money, far better than 2 years ago when we were in the race at huge dollars

 

[happy_tiger]

Do we even expect him to play KOE Cup this year

I take a lazy lump onboard if it means Samuela commits

 

[The Chad]

So much talent.

We gave Taylan May a chance. We gave Terrell May a chance. We just gave Hayze Dunster a chance.

I like it. Take in Cotric & Tupou while we are at it. Get a KOE squad of NRL level misfits that a trying to capture that last moment in the sun. Some will make it. Some won't. But the talent of the depth will be strong.

If Samuela was the one who suggested Schuster should get in touch with Benji, then surely that means Samuela is sticking around?

Samuela openly stated on a podcast last year he wants to captain the club one day , and if he has his way he will never leave the club. I dunno what Benji has done for that family /the club has done , that has inspired such loyalty but the Fainus and Mays are all in on Benji .

Love Samuela as a player but I haven’t seen anything about him to think captain. He’s pretty quiet isn’t he.

Why aren't the rest of the Fainu’s rushing to sign their extensions then if there's a lot of love.

Thats nice.
But weve seen what words.mean to players before...very little.
I take everything said with a grain of salt now

 

[426Tlgerland]

Ahhh can’t hurt , zero bucks but a kid that had loads of potential , if his mates get behind him and get him rally going along with our coaches etc who knows he could be a gem in. The. Ruff for us , he could play reserve grade this year , later on and be ready for a full pre season and come up. Trumps and grab a spot on the bench , who knows , cheap , I’m ok with it

There is a few stories of young players at Manly from a few years ago not training hard partying chasing girls getting by on Natural talent and less effort I think that might have something to do with it and John Schuster apparently was the Fonz of it

I think Benji is a father figure who really cares about his players and goes beyond just football it's very important

 

[Tito Santana]

I like it. Train and trial. Minimal risk with potential really good reward.

From memory Stef was crowing about wanting to be captain…then he tanked and signed elsewhere.

Latu as captain could be the story. Quietly learning from Luai in the shadows.

Because they have a manager who’s trying to optimise the amount of coin his clients can get. He’s out injured right now so not exactly negotiating from a point of strength .
who knows why he hasn’t signed . If I was his manager I’d be telling him to hold off as well. He was the form second rower in the comp prior to his injury , they’re probably waiting to see how he ends the season .

Or offering him up as his own replacement?
