Manu reportedly has no desire to seek bidding war expected to stay with the Roosters

Absolutely brilliant. I love Joey, he is one of my favourites.

Refreshing to hear a player say that he's happy to stay and not " test the market " which is a metaphor to pump more dollars into their contract and then re-sign at the same club.
I know he's a great centre who can play fullback but I don't think he's got the passing game to be a great fullback, i think big bodies eventually breakdown playing fullback constantly as seen with Inglis, Turbo and Latrell.
I'm more than happy if he plays out his days with us as a centre where he is one of the best in the game.

The way Billy is developing with more games under his belt, we might end up having the No1 and No2 centres in the game.

Manu is all class.

There is only so much money one needs to be comfortable.

You have to question why Joseph Manu would want to play under such a poor coach that hasn't got a clue on how to manage a team and gets basic tactics wrong

I'm surprised he didn't request a release when Robbo dropped him in his early years. His family were apparently pissed off with Robbo too.

Yes I’m surprised he hasn’t harboured a secret wish to be coached by any of the 16 other NRL coaches who are vastly superior to Robbo

I'm shocked by this, I have been mentally preparing myself for him to leave and chase a fullback spot at another club for the last 12 months.

This would be massive news.

Warriors got RTS back, so I reckon we dodged a bullet.

Manu is best at fullback in my opinion.

Amazing news. I know its a business these days, but I hold loyalty to clubs in high regard. I couldn't imagine Manu in another team's jersey. Like Mini and Aubo, I hope he is another 300 game player for us

Can you just imagine how good he could be if he put in the same amount of effort each week as Mini and Aubo did for their 300+ games? He is an amazing talent, one of the best I’ve seen, but he tends to go missing in games quite a lot. He had a roving role last year, popping up all over the place which made it difficult for defences. Will it be Teddy or Manu coming through the middle against tired forwards? It worked really well……..not sure what’s happened this year.
