    i saw that posted a few times in different places but because they used his crusaders photo i thought they had resigned him!

    dont most other sports do a basic photoshop job of new signings in THEIR jerseys?

              However, Manu is also understood to be weighing up a rugby union switch to live out his childhood dream, representing the All Blacks.

                    It worked for RTS….

                      I reckon he'll be better than RTS. Just start him on the wing until he familiarises himself with the game.

                      I'd like to see how he'd go in rugby. Even in his mediocre year as @mariner4life has pointed out he still averaged pretty decent run metres.

                        @Nepia I can't even see him having success on the wing. To be honest I don't know where he would actually suit. He would be better in a collision than RTS, I just dont think he wouldn't fit union.

                        He has a high work rate, big body, likes to be involved in everything, probably runs to upright for union, likes to tackle high (and get tackled high) ..which is great for league..

                        contract due for negotiation, probably about it

                                So it looks like Joey Manu if he leaves NRL will be eating croissants...

                                    Long story short, the new group now running Sr for SR (not NZR and RA) have got Sky to agree to one game per week on Sky Open, which is great news - well done

                                      Cheers, is it the game of the week (e..g, premier NZ derby?) or just any old game?

                                          @gt12 you'd hope so. Surely NZ derbies would take those slots.
