THE NRL career of rising star Willis Meehan appears over with Manly officials deciding to release the 21-year-old effective immediately from his two-year contract agreement.

Once compared to dual international Sonny Bill Williams, the hugely talented Meehan has chosen to return to the sport of boxing where he once pursued a Commonwealth Games berth.
On his second chance after being sacked by the Sydney Roosters in 2015, Meehan’s management have been in dialogue for several weeks with Manly officials about the young star’s focus on rugby league and his desire to continue boxing.

Meehan has played just one NRL match.



Despite investing the entire 2017 off-session into the talented prop-forward, Manly advised Meehan they would support whichever decision he made.
Having chosen boxing it’s almost certain, Meehan will be lost to rugby league.

Looks like we dodged a bullet there.

What a waste of space this bloke is, although it's pretty funny that its Manly and not us that he's been stuffing about for a change......

It all went wrong for this lump of shit after he robbed that guy for his Swatch Watch. Honestly, what a wanker. He will never make it as a professional athlete in any sport imo.

Well I'm glad this thug is no longer our problem, however talented he allegedly is. And my heart bleeds for poor Manly thinking they had got one of our talents . Lets just hope Liam Knight turns out a better buy for the Roosters.

Before Meehan decided to moonlight as a standover man I thought our club had said they were prepared to work with him on combining footy with a boxing career???
Can't remember exactly.
The timing of Manly's decision seems odd to me.

Mate I suspect there is more to it than just combining footy with boxing.

Meehan's management have been in dialogue for several weeks with Manly officials the article says so I dont think there is anything in it.
At the end of the day he may just feel that boxing is more his go & that he wasnt committed to footy.

Nah. He is committed to his budding career as a thug and standover man. There is more money in it apparently.

The guy is a dud and prick of a human being. I know some here claim to know him and maybe even consider him a mate, but he would soon as steal your wallet as shake your hand.

KB I'd trust your opinion of our juniors than these so called experts any day.

As do I. I'm grateful the Roosters parted ways with this particular player.
Go and box young man, perhaps doing so will knock some sense into you.

Such an innocent face.
