I went back and watched a bit of yesterdays game. There is no way Manly are letting Fainu go.
would hope Scott Fulton is on the phone to Manly and looking to trade
Tommy Talau & Shaun Blore
for
Latu Fainu
if we send 2, why not try get both Fainu brothers to add to Sione.
we are asking for a potential gun half from manly think it will take 2 players from our end to make it happen and hope manly want to top up centre and second rower stocks

How long is his contract at Manly? We have to remember they already have Tommy for next year as well so not much in it for them with him.
likely Joffa out and Blore out
Replaced with Frizell and Sorrenson they would both be upgrades on joffa and blore

latu fainu signed with Manly until end of 2025 season
Excuse my ignorance but on the issue of Tommy Talau are people just running with an assumption via rumour of his signing with Manly,or has there been an official announcement from either Club?
From my point of view if he’s already over the Spit Bridge for 2024 there’s no way I would be selecting him ahead of Naden,whose overall form has been superior,even though Tommy did have his best game for us against the Raiders.If he’s genuinely gone,I would only be playing him out of necessity.

given we are playing talau I don't necessarily think he has signed with Manly yet ?

I thought I saw an announcement from Manly somewhere but I most likely imagined it
Lots of speculation among Manly fans that Fainu is the replacement for DCE at halfback.
Going to be interesting to see how this unfolds.
This rumour really seems to have legs. Hope its true but I havent seen anything approaching legitimate and we have all been here before.

Nothing official at this stage, but then there was never an announcement either way about Tuilagi either.

I agree, Naden should be getting picked over him if he’s leaving.

Naden should be getting picked over him regardless.

well right where Issac Moses wants this....
Leeds set to offer Brooks a deal
Potentially Canberra in the mix
plus
does he stay on at the Tigers ?....

What a shock, right when we're negotiating with Brooks comes a Super League club supposedly desperate for his signature and willing to pay the big bucks - you couldn't write this script.
He's been available to sign since last November....crickets for months, now a miracle!

Good point about the Latu contract but Manly have only just let go of two young players under contract which shows that the contract might not matter.
Viliami Fifita and Alec Tuitavake (both Tartak clients signed by Scott Fulton) were under contract and swapped for an Isaac Moses client in Aaron Woods in late March. The Talau (also managed by Moses) to Manly rumour popped up in early April which I think is no coincidence.
Seibold has form for loading his squad up with Moses clients. He did it at the Broncos so it would not surprise if it happens again now at Manly.
I'm confident Manly would consider swapping Latu for Talau and / or another WT player provided anyone coming from WT to Manly is a Moses client.
Sheens shouting Brooks praises at weekly press conferences is probably an up yours to Fulton who is doing all he can to get Latu Fainu to the club.
