7. Hooker: Manase Fainu
Following the season ending injury to Apisai Koroisau, Fainu was thrust into first grade in Round 16. Fainu hasn’t missed a match since and averages an impressive 65 minutes per game so early into his first-grade career and in an unforgiveable position.
In his eight appearances, Fainu has recorded 14 tackle breaks, 13 offloads, three try assists, two-line breaks and a try.
