The family of NRL star Manase Fainu, currently serving a prison sentence, has purchased a home where he can reside upon his release. Fainu’s brothers, Sione, Latu, and Samuela, who are players for the Wests Tigers, facilitated the purchase of their parents’ first family home.
Formerly a Manly player, Fainu was sentenced to eight years in prison following a conviction for stabbing in October 2019. The family, comprising eight children, had previously rented accommodations but have now secured their own property.

Lily, the mother, expressed the family’s struggles, stating, “We’re leaving a room empty in the house for Manase. He will be home in two and a half years to enjoy it with us.” The newly acquired house, located in Sydney‘s western region, boasts six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and three parking spaces on a 563 square meter plot.
