          Yeah nah. Here is an article confirming he is back in the USA. https://www.thepress.co.nz/sport/350435055/winger-hoping-build-stags-solid-foundations-after-season-stateside

              It'll be nice. I'd rather have him than an injury prone Lowe. At the moment all we can go off is the information out there. Unless you have somthing concrete.

                  Well hopefully if those two are in it will mean no Lowe or Sanders. Which will be a win

                    Bit of difference between ‘hope to see’ and ‘concrete’ mate. Don't be afraid to go out on a limb and say you know something the rest of us don’t… I’m always throwing oil around and always afraid it won’t be accurate but it always is, if it isn’t then own it and move on. That’s all part of being on the fern!

                      Every time Nareki plays for the highlanders, he’s one of the most dangerous players. In a backline with very few genuine threats we desperately need a player like that. Manson is very quick but he certainly isn’t nearly as complete of a player as Nareki.

                      Also considering they’ve picked up Caleb Tangitau, what would be the point of them signing Manson? Doesn’t make a lot of sense

                        I’ve said it multiple times, Manson is contracted with the Landers next year. The point of signing him is that he’s one of the best wingers in the NPC..

                            It is a bit unfair to call it bullshit, when it is the publicly available information stated by him about his plans for next year. Things can change and it will be interesting to see him get an opportunity. The only spot available could be in place of Jonah Lowe, if he isn't available. Which would be a good thing.

                              @HLD2023Champions what a joke, Manson isn’t any where near good enough for super rugby at this point. He ran in a few tries down the sideline for a woeful stags teams and somehow that’s good enough for the landers

                                      @KiwiInLondon I mean always possible things have changed... but I don't think Manson is that good, that the needle would be moved for him.

                                      What may have happened, is that he has been offered a contract starting in 2026. Same thing happened with Henry Bell whilst he was with the Utah Warriors (was signed end of 2022 for 2024)

                                        My 2c is that he is a good upgrade on Jonah Lowe as the final winger in the squad. If he is available. But will be viewed behind Tavatavanawai, Nareki and Tangitau. Possibly Hurley too. I would pick him in front of Josh Whaanga though
