Manase Fainu - Discussion

[Eagles4Life]

I would say let's forget about Manase, the jury decided in just a couple of hours as to whether he was guilty or innocent, so his defence would have to introduce new evidence in any appeal to be successful.
There is a theory that he may be covering up for a friend, but when you think about, what sort of friend would let another friend take all of this heat over the years, lose his career, and go to jail for a crime he did not commit, let's move on from Manase.

The sort of friend who is a fellow gang member in 21 District perhaps?

This fainu stuff has totally destabilised the club. For three years we’ve had it hanging around affecting the playing group / keeping money on the cap for him / not moving forward buying a 9 as well as the media talking about it.

Today’s performance was another example of what the episode has done to our club.

I really wish Josh and Manase would stop playing this stuff out on social media. Olay is making himself look like a complete flog by protesting inclusion then supporting convicted criminals. In my eyes at least.

A bit late to be drinking calves blood.

 

[Pete the Eagle]

Sure but none of this produces a knife or a credible witness or addresses a change in evidence from the initial witness statements.

Did they not have a witness state he saw him stab the guy??

Bye bye Manase..

 

[Mitch]

His family and club clearly doing what they can to support him:

Ms Cunneen said that two of Fainu’s brothers, who were contracted to Manly, had paid his legal fees after the club advanced them money from their 2023 contracts

Yep. This honestly ranks about 3 Winner Cups. Someone get these half-wits off "social media" FFS this almost makes Dylan Walker's annual off-season encounter with the police seem sensible.

He will be in solitary for the first 14 days - covid rules.

After to that he wants to pray to Josh's god his cell mate is not a 22 year old Brothers For Life member who gets a raging horn about 4 times a day.

Oh well, at least that means they're locked in with us for 2023 now 😂

Oh goodness , the thought of that horrifies me.

 

[Leader of the Flock]

That’s probably why he’s reportedly having panic attacks.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So it looks like the Silks request for bail and a retrial have fallen on deaf ears ???

Is this how I read the situation.

 

[Volley]

A rare win for the justice system, someone found guilty of stabbing someone shouldn’t be allowed out on bail before sentencing

 

[bob dylan]

Oh goodness , the thought of that horrifies me.

It helps them realise how tough they are. Anyone who thinks it doesn't happen need think again.

But newer jails have single occupant cells, he will likely end up at Bathurst or Goulburn, neither are good. He wants to hope he get sent to Junee.

No not exactly - my understanding is he has to be sentenced because he has been convicted. There is basically no bail for violent crime convictions under laws that were passed 1 July or thereabouts.

Any appeal is a separate issue and goes to back of the queue.

It is possible an appeal is heard in 12 months and he is found not guilty. That's just bad luck that he will already served 1 year (and his butt is now as big as a dinner plate).

So his cellmate will be a Bulldogs supporter? 😉
