Panthers star set to be squeezed out as rivals circle; All Blacks to join $1m race: Transfer Whispers
However, Manu is also understood to be weighing up a rugby union switch to live out his childhood dream, representing the All Blacks.

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

That's more than 50% of what's needed ...

Four takeaways from each Cross-Border Super Rugby match
We've already learnt at least a couple of things about each team, their personnel and more specifically how deep their talent stocks are.

So it looks like Joey Manu if he leaves NRL will be eating croissants...

Why Sky has played the free rugby card now
Rugby in New Zealand has no option but to recalibrate its broadcast strategy.

Cheers, is it the game of the week (e..g, premier NZ derby?) or just any old game?

Brumbies 43 - 40 Drua
The Drua will be a fun watch this season -
I went along to this and it was a f'ing hot day. Which helps explain why I was muntered when I got home at 12:30.
For those that only watch the highlights, the Drua looked like they could play all facets competitively too - you just cant give them space. They'll be devastating on the counter attack too.
