But the fact remains he is our best attacking player, and the pleas and money reflect that AP, Bomber & Gentle share that opinion. It is my personal view that it is by some distance, however I understand the value of other top players in the team, Lynch, Houghton etc and I agree they are just as important in the grand scheme of things. |

| Quote weaver93="weaver93"Agree Kosh,
Maybe a bit controversial, but the difference in my opinion, is Tickle and Ellis are consistent, Manu is inconsistent.
For mine, we need to sign a better 6 than we presently have. if it was a choice of keeping Manu or,signing a Finch/Chase or a player of that calibre, I'd sign a better 6.'"
If McKinnon leaves we may have no choice, theres hardly any full backs available we may have to put Horne to fb. |

| Quote Marfa Manu="Marfa Manu"Who is wound up ?
How many players do you know where the owner pleads with the fans to pressure him to stay both in a programme and on FCTV ?
If you read the posts the [imajority [/iwho have watched all the games Manu has featured in over the last couple seasons will agree he is our best attacking player, I personally believe it is by some distance'"
Exactly. The reason why our left side is so feared is because of Manu IMO. Teams have to try and close him down, as such, it gives Yeaman (turner) and Briscoe more space to work in. If we had Tickle down that side i think teams would go man on man, as i dont think Tickle has the same ability to bust a tackle, or to produce an offload. |

Had a feeling Manu might be on his way when details about offering him a contract were released to the press, not a good sign.
Still believe there must be a decent chance he will return to the NRL, with the new television deal, players salaries will be much higher then SL, also with the lifestyle, UK based players will be seriously considering their options.

It is not a 'fact' that he is our best attacking player, it's an opinion. And in your original post you said 'best player', not 'best attacking player'.
That he has been offered a big contract to stay does not show that those people think he is our 'best attacking player', it just doesn't. |

For the record i think he will stay, he obviously does not want to rush into it as it is a big decision for him, possibly his last big deal and he will be waiting to see what else comes along.'"
Shall we just hang ourselves then?
I'd sacrifice Manu for two very good props right now, if we could get all 3 great. |

I agree about him and his agent trying to get the best possible deal from the club he can. I think that is now on the table so we will see if that is enough to keep him here, I reckon he'll stay and I'll be delighted if he does. However I won't be crying myself to sleep if he goes. |

I prefer Horne to FB, he is more effective there,
but at 6 , our attack appears looks slow and predictable.
What ooc NRL props do you rate? Justin Poore??? |

Replacing all these players with equal or better ability will be very hard
