He wants to play NRL again: Manase Fainu determined to play NRL again

Good luck with that. His sentence runs until 2030 if I'm not mistaken, so even if he's released earlier he'll still be on parole for the stabbing until then. Anyone seriously think the NRL will register someone still on parole for a stabbing? I don't.

If he completes his sentence without incident they'll probably clear him, but he'll be 32 by then

Maybe, if he can get a visa, he can play in the new league

Non parole period of 4 yrs and 3 months

Considering De Bellin was never the same player after his stand down period it is fairly optimistic....but would not shock me if he got a train and trial / feeder team contract with the tigers if his brothers are still there and kicking goals

Might get the OK to play in some junior/local comps 🤷‍♂️
but I'd be astounded if they'd want him anywhere near NRL while still on parole for that offence
