Manaise Fainu

[BrendonStarr]

Still think we need both of them for the remainder of the year if we are a chance to make the 8. Get rid of Api then we are up up **** creek if Fainu is out injured for an extended period of time. The opposition will have a field day going up the middle with Hodkinson trying to fill the void.

Fifth and last podcast... At the end in the rumour section. Last 10-15 or so.

Is that a good podcast? Worth a listen or are there better ones out there?

edit: Ok I googled and there's quite a few out there. Still, there may be a lot of rubbish ones.

What podcast is that mate? I know he came out last week and said he actually re-signed last year for a few more years.

You know, the podcast....that one...I mean, how many podcasts are there?

 

[Darren]

Agree... But there was a rumour last week we were chasing Liddell.... Who knows....

Really quick I hear but think he's only played union, you mean Eric Liddell? Bit old for us now, runs like the wind.

 

[madmax]

@Pepi is correct. I don't know where I saw it but according to my records last Dec Fainu extended his contract for 2020-2021.

Fainu resigned with Manly last year until end of 2020.......................

If you just like no nonsense footy talk, it’s great.

They don’t like to talk about off field stuff and the drama of rugby league... more just footy talk.

Worth a listen.

Thanks mate. They seem 90mins + long. Who has time to listen to a podcast that long?

Maybe if you're retired, sunning on your beach chair, being fed grapes by supermodels....

Or waiting for a fish to bite ( sometimes way more than 90 minutes).

It often surprises me that people get so invested in an opinion or love of a specific player they become irrational ....

People ... I'll give you a tip ...

API is a good footballer .... Fainu is a good footballer ..... those two facts are not mutually exclusive ... they can exist together in the same Universe without conflict ... and for the short time that we have both ... be happy ...

And here is the kicker ..... no matter how much you put one down .... it doesn't make the other one better ....

 

[Woodsie]

And just for fun ... my perverted sense of fun anyway .... let's merge this thread with the one from last year where many ST's wanted to punt Fainu on behavoural grounds .....

You’ll all be surprised but I download a heap of podcasts before I go travelling as some places I go don’t have radio ( other than ****ing Triple J which seems to be everywhere!!).

It's kinda like a movie cast.... but in a more convenient sealed little container.

[Terry Zarsoff]

Thankyou for clearing that up.

It’s mostly used in dolphin fishing.

Just some comparison stats for fun ... yes I know 4 games is not a large sample set ... yes I know they are playing at different stages of the game ... yes I know stats don't tell you everything etc etc .... but interesting none the less .... and we are also comparing stats for a seasoned FG'er V's a beginner ... but still intresting ..

Api 205 mins 132 tackles 3 missed tackles
so 0.64 tackles per min or x 80 = 51.2 tackles per game ..
giving a missed tackle rate of 0.0222 ..

Fainu 123 mins 70 tackles 5 missed tackles
so 0.56 tackles per min or x 80 = 45.5 tacles per game
giving a missed tackle rate of 0.0667 ....
