I would just like to say bye and thanks to Willie been great for Hull but we move on. Onwards and Upwards Mate,

I'm sure Ellis will go great for you next year, but you'll miss Manu, he's a cracking player.

Willie Manu over the years has put so many smiles on Hull fans faces and constantly left us in shock at the skill in which he just brushes tacklers off him. Absolutely brilliant player who I am glad to say has been at our club for quite a few years. He's one of a kind and in my eyes he's a Hull FC legend.
He will be sorely missed.

Gutted to see him go

Massive loss to the team, gutted.

Thanks for the entertainment Willie and best wishes

Massive thanks to Willie; a shining light amongst some pretty mediocre company over the last 5 years. Great to see the ovation given to him by the fans tonight; thoroughly deserved and good to see us wish him well. Irreplaceable.

thanks willie

FC Legend...!

Good luck Willie........

Think the missus is more gutted than me mind

Willie wouldn't make my all time XIII (back row Lee Crookes Johnny Whiteley and Knocker) but he'd be fighting for a place on the bench with Mick Crane/Bill Drake/Steven Kearney.

Sorry to see him go but looking forward to 2012.

Nice post mate - you must be as old as me

Kearney was no where near as good as Manu has been for us. Yes Kearney was only here a short time and not the same style as Manu. But Manu has been the better player.

Best off load I have seen to Yeaman in the good friday derby !!!
Thanks for the memories big fella you are a modern day FC great !!!!
And a cert for a spot in the hall of fame !

He's been one of our best players since he joined the club and has been great to watch.

However, we've been too reliant upon him to create things out of nothing for us. Hopefully his exit will cause the other players around him to be a bit more adventurous.

I started this post and I have to say I agree with everything you say - maybe to good for us ?? over the last few years.

Steven Kearney is not fit to lace Manu's boots in a Hull Fc sense.

Seemed a bit emotional at the end did Manu, gonna miss the guy as he has being our best player for the last 4 seasons.

Good luck to him and hope he can finally get some silverware at Saints (only if we don't win it obviously!)

No where near a legend for me...been a privelage to see him in a FC shirt and has had some barnstorming runs but he had chosen to leg it to a team of chokers and this may now be more beneficial to the team as next year we will have to re-style our play...bye bye willie.

On another note...Turner...you wont be missed at all..young Crooks showed more bravery in scoring his try than you ever have done.

Good ridence to the money grabbing head. Shut the door on your way out willie

Has he been porking your mrs?

If you've nothing good to say, say nothing

Opinions board isnt it and thats his opinion

I'd have rather kept him than sign Galea.

Yep and you quoted my opinion.

He has his view, I think he's wrong and must have some beef with Manu to actually come on here and type that, swear word caught by the filter too.

I was upset when Manu decided to leave but over time I have gotten use to the idea. He's nearing the end of his career and you can't blame him for wanting the best deal for him and his family. I am sure deep down a part of him is sad he is leaving but this is sport and these things happen.

I can honestly say when Manu has worn the Hull shirt he has never put less then 100% effort, they is not many you can say that about.

Prefer to look forward to 2013 myself



Been a decent player has Manu but everyone moves on eventually, good luck to him in the future but think we have had the best of him.

Where is Richard Horne going then?
