I don't imagine he's particularly well known in Australia. |

Both are game breakers at SL level, though. |

Manu has been a good player in a poor side for years. Ellis has been a top player in SL and the NRL. How anyone can say that losing Manu would take the shine off the Ellis deal is seriosuly in need of a reality check.
Manu not signing could be very good for the rest of the team imo and hes only gonna have two to three years to settle and then start playing good footy again at Saints which is a big ask for him. I reckon he'll end up regretting leaving more than we'll regret losing him

Are you suggesting Manu would be an average player in a good side ? |

What would peoples take be on the situation if it was us getting Manu of saints . A 3 year deal at 32 and on big money . Think a lot would be unhappy so maybe gentle / McRae know what there doing . As much as I'd like him to stay its our most covered position with some already top players . Not exactly light in that department and also a couple of young back rowers coming through .I'd Be more happy getting a top english and overseas prop , which is what we"ll proberbly need .

No because Saints arnt a particularly good side. And not many players go to a new side and start ripping it up, they take time to settle especially seen as hes been here for six years.
Whats more baffling is that he's put up with playing with crap for years then suddenly things improve massively and he jumps ship. Strange |

Saints are capable of being a very good side and have some quality. |

Manu is a very good player and I'm a big fan. He's a game changer and, IMO, one of the best back rowers in the SL.
Gareth Ellis is a class player. A world class player. He has been West Tigers' Player of the Year for 3 years, has rubbed shoulders with the best in the world and offers more then just a work horse type forward like some think.
I would love to keep both, but if there's a choice, it's a no brainer.

They are, but back row is an area I'm really not concerned about for next year. If he stays, great, but a back row of Ellis, Tickle, Whiting and Westerman is better than most in SL.
All we need to replace is Manu's impact, and the right prop signings could do that. |
