FAIAI MA LE AKIGIPOO written by ka, July 08, 2008 Malo Manu taumafai.O le malo lava o le malo, pilioka.We started playing pretty good after the Fijian ran us down..but we didn't give up. We did good against Aus and Maori.We did show Tonga we still the best from the west,and now the Japanese is growing man..watch out uso..These Jnese will be dangerous.They got all the oppounities to get better.Not us,we can not grow man. Once our players getting better.NZ still them man.But anyways thanks a lot to all the manu boys and our new coach.I see good things in them this year.Keep it up Uso..Manu 4 Life."Stay Fit"Will be O.K.. # 3 is the right, lucky and a real starting standard situation. written by Paulo Key, July 09, 2008 THE TEAM IS NEW, THE COACHES ARE THE FRESH ONES, AND I KNOW AND TRUST IN THE WHOLE PLAN WITH THE MANU IS HEADING TOWARDS THE RIGHT PATH. MALO LE TAU. NUMBER 3 IS THE BEST STARTING SITUATION FOR YOU. Very good written by Robbie Deans, July 10, 2008 This was the best possible outcome for the boys. Im proud of them! All Blacks next... we need the very best to be playing for the team otherwise we are going to be mince meat. 1.Justin Va'a 2.Tafunai 3.CJ 4.Levi 5.Thompson 6.Stowers 7.?????- very important that we get a solid player here, Sititi too old to face up to Mccaw/So'oialo 8.Henry Tuilagi 9.Mai 10.?????????- The most important player on the field... Ok go Sapolu, side step Carter and Smith but dont aimlesss those kicks 11.Allesana Tuilagi 12.Seilala Mapusua 13.Anetelea Tuilagi 14.Lemi 15.Williams yayayayayayayay written by Malia, July 10, 2008 whoo hoo!!!!!!!!! ia malo lava boys taaalo ma fianu malosi. ...we all knew that you all can make it...like we said we believed in you all........ ... written by Okeram, July 10, 2008 Okay maybe i'm a pessimist - but 3rd sucks. These NZ & Aus teams are B teams. How are we supposed to be able to compete against 1st tier nations when we can't get passed their B teams... and seriously - did we play great against them - or did they play bad? I saw the latter - pretty much in every game. Ok - give the team a chance... Rome wasn't built in a day bla bla bla ... i've heard that enough times - why? the Manu has been going downhill for years, when are we gonna stop sucking? We should already be a first tier nation by now!! Our government needs to seriously start thinking about investing in the Manu - they are Samoa's best ambassadors - bring in oversea's coaches, trainers, nutritionists - not to take over but to advise & help the local staff. The Manu also needs discipline off the field - seeing them drinking & smoking before and after games during this tournament is really pathetic - they are supposed to be professional athletes, aren't they? Faiai ma le atigipoo written by kaa..southcali, July 12, 2008 Sole Oke!Who wants to be discipline if the Country don't pay them enough.I would do the same thing man.. party and play my heart out during the game. You might as well enjoy it,especially developing countries like us.We only sacrifice our body and playing for our pride.We're not like those big nations having enough cash to take care their players.Then the players have to be discipline and work hard.The investment is a wonderful ideas but you know what,that is why poor people getting poor and rich people getting rich.Everybody wants something in their pocket and think that today is the only day but not tomorrow.Also little bobbies will never outbid big dogs man..Big dogs are running the show.You got money you got power.I don't care if the Manu is win or lose...I salute them for whatever they have done..I'm just hoping to all the usos around the world to keep it going and knowing where you heading.In the end, the world will come together and the Samoan wil be the leader..Peace out!!! Be a Manu when you are the bestest!! written by Geoff, July 18, 2008 Whoever chose Sapolu as the Manu number 10, decided well!. He played excellently against Tonga & tackled out the Japanese player who would have won the game for Japan! Sapolu however needs to add to his weaponry the bestest of kicking skills!
