Manu Vatuvei

[1978]

Playing reggies for Warriors. Possible replacement for Jorge?
Same attributes: size, strength, inconsistency !
Would love see the beast in a top team (ie us) by June 30.
Even better if Warriors carry half the salary.

Id prefer to see a young kid get a crack myself. Brad Parker every day.

I like it man! He has an error or two in him, but so did Jorge. Could be another Uate.

 

[manlyfan76]

He's not afraid to take a few hit ups aswell.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

He's worse in the air than jorge.

 

[Danly Manly]

But can he nail goals from the touchline in the pooring rain like Wrighty boy?

Heard marika koroibete might return to the NRL. Would be a decent buy to replace Jorge IMO. Imagine 2 high flying Fijian wingers tearing it up..

With rugby going down the toilet and his golden ticket into the wallabies seemingly expired he could be an astute purchase,

I've always liked Manu. He is wonderfully inconsistent, rather like his team. But a great competitor who can at least smile when he makes one of his many cock-ups. Much as I have liked him, he is well past being useful.

 

[maxta]

Can see both good options in different ways....Korabiete is younger and faster, while Manu does those early hit ups to give the set momentum...while Wright done ok (especially vital goals) the start to our sets were lacking big time without Jorge.

I've liked Manu ever since he scored that winning try at Purple Park against the Purple cheats in the finals. Memory of the exact time has faded. It was definitely before the '11 game where they knocked them out to play against us but I remember the try, the smile, the upset win and me giggling because storm lost.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Good man, but would be a big backward step, especially with the condition his body is in

 

[CliffyIsGod]

If you can't make the Warriors side, then there is something wrong with you. No footy brain and he has feet for hands.

 

[Deleted member 26876]

Prefer Koribete, however if he is an option he is worth looking into, little old though but that could be the reason as we may retire him/move him on after this season allowing taufua to return in place of him, interesting.

Was it the game where the Warriors finished 8th, then beat the 1st place Stoem in Melb.? They changed the system after that!

 

[Clay]

If we had a decent goal kicker then possibly

2008 against Storm. Manu streaked down the field gave to Michael Witt who taunted the Storm defenders before plonking the ball down, beating the Storm in the dying minutes. Wonderful theatre but you can see why Witt didn't have much maturity.

 

[manly al]

Yes for sure , reliable and above average goal kicking really has to be a priority for the sea eagles , now or for the future . The result last Friday night could have been even more tighter if not for Mat Wright ' s good kicking efforts

 

[manly al]

Koroibete went to union for more money , i would assume that he would want some decent money to then return to league. Manu , great character , some good past efforts , just not the right timing now for him to suit Manly 's current playing squad situation.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I'd rather we brought back Cuthbo for a wing spot. Surely he's still trotting around somewhere?
