I think Mann was doing a HIA to Ponga.10 in the bin
Off you go.
Go Kalyn, Go!

Dunno but I heard Adam O'Brien didn't know who the bouncer was.Wouldn't surprise me if the person videoing Ponga was a junior referee.
Not sure if this has been discussed, however:
As disgraced NRL star Manase Fainu prepared to go to jail for stabbing a Mormon church youth leader, his former teammates were declaring their support for him on national TV.
Once considered one of the brightest talents in the league, Fainu was jailed on Monday as he awaits sentencing over the violent attack outside a Sydney church in October, 2019.
Despite the career-ending guilty verdict, his old Manly Sea Eagles teammates Josh Schuster Josh Aloiai and Haumole Olakau’atu were quick to throw their weight behind him over the weekend.
All three refused to wear a rainbow-coloured jersey to show support for the LGBTI community just two weeks ago and stood themselves down from playing on moral grounds.
A clip of the try celebration, which was moments later ruled out over a knock-on, was then shared by western Sydney rapper and alleged senior member of the Alameddine gang Ali ‘Ay Huncho’ Younes.
“6 side king,” wrote Younes, tagging Fainu and Olakau’atu.
Schuster also showed his support for Fainu, with the initials MF scribbled on his wrist. “See ya soon my toko (brother in Tongan),” he shared on Instagram.
Didn't Fif get in the crap and there were calls for him to be suspended etc for having stuff written on his strapping? So these blokes have writting on their strapping in the same way, to show support for a mate of theirs who is going to do jail time, and also throwing some sort of gang related sign.
So...will there be the same outcry? Curious.
Yeh we have been discussing across a couple of threads.Not sure if this has been discussed, however:

Great. I don't think the results become public knowledge (unless it's their second offence).Apparently reports are that Ponga and Mann have just been drug tested by the NRL.
So if they're positive it'll just be a $1500 fine?Great. I don't think the results become public knowledge (unless it's their second offence).
Way more overt and about an NRL player who (more NRL disrepute) and with increasely public NRL/gang links and junior crowd violence I think they should be hit at least as hard as Fifita was.Yeh we have been discussing across a couple of threads.
Yeh they made a massive deal over Fifita - even though he didn't make a song and dance over it (it was a Jurno that deciphered it).
Though they will claim its a religious / cultural matter so NRL will leave it alone.
Either way it will do doubt result in another case of NRL inconsistency.Way more overt and about an NRL player who (more NRL disrepute) and with increasely public NRL/gang links and junior crowd violence I think they should be hit at least as hard as Fifita was.
Yes his childhood friend murdered someone (so deserves every bit of jail they get) but I think you could make a fair argument a punch from behind actually less malicious and calculated than a stab in the back. I don’t know the ins and outs of either case/situation though
I watched it, Gal is as thick as a brick.Gal and Gus go head to head.
I get what Gus is saying BUT, I’m leaning more Gal’s way as he is right in that the Roosters get these players with a head start in regards to development which is a big advantage.

I understand his position on the matter, but he didn’t articulate it well at all. Gus owned himI watched it, Gal is as thick as a brick.
So, I’m guessing you disagree with Gal.I watched it, Gal is as thick as a brick.
Just reading the article it sounded like Gal's argument hung mostly on repeating 'no they're not.'I watched it, Gal is as thick as a brick.
Gould typically doesn’t leave much space for other people to have their say.Just reading the article it sounded like Gal's argument hung mostly on repeating 'no they're not.'
I'lll give Gal credit though for recognising that the best use of his brain is absorbing punches for big paydays.
Gal is way off on this one.Gould typically doesn’t leave much space for other people to have their say.
Effectively arguing definition of development.
Do roosters count as a club good at developing young players because they take a lot of 16-17 year olds and get them into the NRL (Gould) or do they not because another club/area spent 10 years getting that 16-17 year old to the point Roosters were able to talent ID them as a potential NRL player (Gal).
If they were doing it with any 17 year old at random Gus would have a good point but the fact they are picking and choosing guys they think are the best suggests to me some amount of development has already been put in place.
Findings identified that RL professional senior elite success can be attained via early intensified specialised investment and accelerated youth success as well as a rather decelerated, less cost-intensive participation pattern.
