  • " I think Joey Manu will end up back in the NRL" Keary said on The Bye Round.

    Would we welcome him back?

    Perhaps on the wing imo.

    Marky gone at the end of this season and Sir Toops will most likely hang the boots up.

    I also have a hard hitting question. It's hard hitting as Manu is kind of a club semi legend.

    Here goes. Did Manu dog it in his last season at the Roosters. By dog it I mean was his contribution half-hearted?

    If he comes back it can only be at fullback once teddy retires. His fullback stats were incredible.

      Yes but could he do it for 26 rounds plus finals?

        Isn't that position, Rex Bassingthwaigthe to inherit?

          I would love to seeing Joey back. He was one of my faves but will be getting on in age.

            Its a no from me , he was ordinary in 2024, and 2 years in rugby wont help, he is the past not the future

              Probably not from me at this stage of his playing career. Wouldn't mind looking like him however.

                Yes I would have him back as long as Robbo doesnt play him at 5/8

                  Imagine a Manu and Mitchell reunion.

                  How nuts was that centre pairing?

                  Best we've ever had, prove me wrong!

                    Seriously though, no to a return. We need to move on. It's a young mans game under PVL's 6-again constant play.

                      Luke may know something so wait and see as obviously he keeps in contact with Joseph Manu one suggests.

                        he was just about the world's best centre in his first 4 years with us. he was pretty much the NRL's worst 5/8 that year Robbo played him there

                        he became too much of a ball stopper both at 5/8 but also towards the end at centre and I do think fullback will be his only position back in the NRL. but his lack of pace would be a thing and that's only gonna get worse as he ages.

                        plus he's a right centre and so is Toia and we should go with the younger man

                        in short, I loved him and I'll always think positively on him, but we should only re-sign him if we don't have a better fullback option.

                        TBH, I'd rather re-sign Suaalii at fullback than Manu

                          I moved on from Joey Manu in 2023; I hope the club has too.

                            Napa, Jenko, Manu.
                            Another farewell tour.
                            Can we just make him do a lap on GF day like SKD did?
