Hull FC struggling to agree new Contract with Manu.

Would we be interested?

Very good player. Not sure it's the type of signing Leeds need to be making though. We look pretty good in the 2nd row

We should be, an Ali type player IMV.
Provided that he would accept our salary scheme (whatever it is).
I'd rather see him than Minichello in our squad.
But is he simply a poor man's Weller Hauraki?




However it is likely to be his agent firing a warning shot across Pearson's bow.

Linked heavily with Saints at the moment but not sure if they have quota space?

Just PMSL.

We have good depth in the position, but unfortunately the players are all very similar, ie High work rate, but don't have the X factor out wide to open up defences.

He's better than Weller by miles.

I guess the smiley went over your head.

Stress incontinence or do you not think we look strong in the 2nd row?

Both.

Most dangerous attacking second row in the league. Would have liked him a couple of years ago to replace Eastwood. He'll be 33 next year though.

He'll drive our player age average sky high.

I think there will be many Leeds fans who do not want to see a player with MANU on the back!

He's getting on a bit. I'm undecided to be honest.

I never realised he was that age.
Don't want him.

This.

I'd sign him in all honesty.

I think he would be an excellent Impact Player from the Bench.

Too old. Stevie Ward should be our 'impact' player off the bench.

Not for me ,i'd put Ward in and with Jjb ,Delaney Ablett and even Hauraki as a last resort we don't need a 33 yr old BR imo no matter how good he has been at Hull.

Intelligent response.

FWIW, I agree that we have plenty of depth and talent in the 2nd row. I would not be in the slightest bit interested in Manu at his age.

I'd much rather develop Ward as a loose forward, with, when all are fit, JJB, Ablett, Delaney and Clarkson as the back rowers.

Tbh you've been writing this team off for years yet they keep proving you wrong.

I have always admired Manu and he is a very dangerous wide running player, however we are well blessed with back rowers at the club and we will also be adding Ward and Singleton to the mix in the first team squad

IMO they are our future so it's a no from me

I am beginning to think he wouldn't recognize a decent rugby player if he came up and told him he was Phil Daly.

I nearly choked on me pudding! Smiley should be closer next time



His is not a position were desperate for, but. I am a massive fan of Manu and Id snap him up no bother!

Good player. Too old.
