Willie Manu is leaving for "family reasons"

He really does think that we're all stupid !

Poor old Heremiah (sp) not got much to talk about really seeing as he's only had a few minutes on the pitch.

No direct questions to Manu though from fans.

Glad I never bought one of those tongan mafia t-shirts

I would be glad about that even if they'd all stayed.

Exactly LOL !

Really poor airlie night tonight even without the constant need to press "play" again.

I'm disappointed with Manu tbh, he's been here a long time, he knows what the fans think of him and he makes the effort to go on airlie night but still talks complete $hite instead of admitting that he wants more money somewhere else.

Maybe that's "just professional sport" (as he also said tonight)

Why cant people accept that Manu hasnt gone for money but to play in a team that consistently reaches finals? I mean look at Hull FC, its an absolute fecking disaster zone atm. Every man and his dog seems to want to jump ship, performances are dogcack and our new mega god coach seems to talk a good game then its baba on the pitch which sounds all too familair. Then youve got the owner sounding off about bringing in four more, or is it six, or is it eight new players and what do you all expect this to achieve as it wont achieve success in one or even two seasons which is what Manu has more chance of at Saints under Brown. So stop bagging the bloke and start understanding why hes doing it as hes not gonna say im leaving because FC are consistently garbage and i see nothing that makes me think things are gonna change is he - he's being diplomatic ffs

Not like HKS to be so positive.

I agree with this to a degree, besides if he did go for money then Bomber is talking baba as he claimed that Manu would have been one of the highest players at the club and another club would have to offer an astronomical amount!

If this was the case, why has he stayed with us for as long as he has? Doubt very much he believed we would win anything under the last regime.

Because maybe he has become less and less confident that we will be challenging for silverware in the coming years, whereas he is more or less guaranteed to be in at least one final a year with Saints, especially with the new coach coming in there.
