Mistake!
Upon receiving the thanks, it's simply "you can pay me back by coming to play for Manly one day".
Surely!

Bugger, never thought of that lol
I’m not an Insta devotee but I did read they’d posted on that forum that they’d been visiting the Dolphins , so I expect we’ll get an announcement very soon of an immediate transfer.
I’m ambivalent ( yet again ) there’s a plan happening and I’m happy to let it run it’s course.

It unfortunate that a number of factors appear to have placed Samuela & Latu outside of Manly's plans. What pleases me is that we appear to have a plan going ahead and we are are taking steps to implement it. I wish Samuela and Latu success with their NRL careers.
Dolphins up the stakes in chase for Fainu brothers
The Dolphins have tabled a four-year deal in a bid to sign promising Manly siblings Latu and Samuela Fainu.The Sea Eagles won’t be able to retain the brothers after a spending spree that includes the signings of Luke Brooks, Tommy Talau, Matt Lodge and the re-signing of Josh Schuster.
The Wests Tigers are also keen on the brothers, putting incoming coach Benji Marshall on a collision course with his long-time mentor Wayne Bennett.
Bennett has already met with the brothers and the Dolphins have now put a lucrative offer on the table. Junior Blues stars Latu, a five-eighth, and Samuela, a forward, will both be on display during Thursday night’s under-19s State of Origin clash.
Haas to explore options on busy day for the NRL transfer market
It’s been a big day in the NRL for contract news with Payne Haas, Shaun Johnson and Taniela Paseka making big calls on their future.

Quiet achiever is named as captain

At the jersey presentations on the eve of the U19s State of Origin game, Ryan’s fellow True Blues Shaun Timmins and Josh Jackson presented Blues jumpers to the backs and forwards respectively.
Ryan held the last jersey in his hands to announce his skipper after he called up former Origin and Australian prop forward Mark O’Meley, who spoke about “effort, attitude and being there for your mate” when facing the Maroons.
Fainu has that chance with both his talent and his physical presence – 192cm and 108kg.
But Ryan has observed the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles prop-back rower’s other efforts around his teammates this week.
“He was with us in camp last year but the moment he came in this year he’s shown leadership everywhere, whether it’s been stretching, doing his extras, or out on the field in our sessions,” Ryan told nswrl.com.au.
“In some of our tougher sessions through the week he has just stood up.
“Even little things like making sure all the boys got their bags at the airport, or always waiting for all his teammates … just all those little things he keeps ticking over.
“He’s not the type to look for any praise – it’s just part of who he is.”
Fainu is a man of few words but he looked straight at his teammates when he accepted his jersey.
“I can’t wait to run out with you – let’s get the job done,” he said.
Fainu is not the only sizeable forward in Ryan’s pack. Canberra Raiders Jake Clydsdale joins him in the front row at 199cm, while Newcastle Knights lock Myles Martin is 193cm.
“Size is important but we have to be mobile a little as well,” Ryan said.
“We’ve only had a handful of training sessions but they’ve just jumped into it straight away and connected really quickly on the field.
“Our outside backs have some size and strength there too because we’re going to need them to carry the ball strongly as well.”
Ryan has the 2022 U19s shield to defend, after a dominant 32-4 result at Leichhardt Oval last year.
“I don’t feel any extra pressure,” he said.
“We’ve had a great week preparation-wise. It doesn’t always transfer to the game but I feel like from the perspective of the players and my coaching staff no-one could have done any more.”
Hopefully the game will be on Kayo tonight. It’s a shame the only 2 players representing us are already in the departure lounge
It is both U19 male and female.

I'm certain that we will regret this decision, I've been highly impressed with Samuela in the games he's played since his debut in firsts and also what I've seen of Latu in NSW cup, to me this is stupidity of the highest order, we chase fringe first graders from the Tigers and release future stars that we've put serious money and time into, wtf is behind this thinking ffs

Respect to them all, but if you can't get into the top 2 of that lot then you don't deserve to be playing first grade
There better be a spectacular signing for us in the wind. Otherwise another poor retention decision we will talk about for years.
