i saw that posted a few times in different places but because they used his crusaders photo i thought they had resigned him!
dont most other sports do a basic photoshop job of new signings in THEIR jerseys?

‘All Blacks would be pretty cool’: NRL’s Joseph Manu weighing up code switch
Sydney Roosters and New Zealand Kiwis utility Joseph Manu is weighing up a potential full-time switch to rugby union.
-
that's got "give me a big contract after a pretty mediocre year" written all over it.

he's fucking awesome
at league
-
I reckon he'll be better than RTS. Just start him on the wing until he familiarises himself with the game.
I'd like to see how he'd go in rugby. Even in his mediocre year as @mariner4life has pointed out he still averaged pretty decent run metres.
-
@Nepia I can't even see him having success on the wing. To be honest I don't know where he would actually suit. He would be better in a collision than RTS, I just dont think he wouldn't fit union.
He has a high work rate, big body, likes to be involved in everything, probably runs to upright for union, likes to tackle high (and get tackled high) ..which is great for league..
contract due for negotiation, probably about it
