Quote ="Marfa Manu"The fact Manu draws in 3/4 defenders at a time kind of tells the rest of the story...
I doubt Gentle and Bomber are idiots who based the fact they wanted to keep him purely on stats though

Its all well and good drawing in 3/4 men but theres no benefit if he's wrapped up and doesn't get the off load out.
I've said before that the better teams know how to mark Manu out of the game by doubling up on him, it was more noticable when all our plays were down the left or we played the set move "give it to manu we haven't got a clue".
Good player but we can move on, as others have alluded to plenty of other teams have won stuff without him so theres no reason why we can't.
