Thats exactly what i thought.



We are going to really miss him tho great player.

Disgraceful that a player who is leaving us to join another SL team should get a standing ovation from the fans and have his name chanted post match. We should all be booing him and pearson should make a point of ignoring his contribution to the club these last 5 seasons.

Not been so gutted about a player leaving since lee crooks

School age kids I think. Got them in for the start of the school year?

He also said it was good to get the two points!

Not once,but twice. Said it on Humberside after the game.

really sorry to see him go,have meet the bloke a few times when fc trained at llyodes,a true gent,

he has got to re locate at some point, maybe now is the time if he has got kids of school age to start the new term, plus its easier for him to get to the Warrington, Wigan, and old trafford games!!

Willie has been great for Hull FC and has had his best season for us this year. For me he is one of the top 5 'must watch' players in SL and no doubt will make the Dream Team for the first time next year



If anyone were to shout 'FC reject' next year I might just lose control

Wonderful player for us but I do believe his best years are behind him,he'll be 33 next year.

But i agree wholeheartedly a true Hull FC a legend

A true professional who has put 100% even since the announcement that he is leaving.

Absolute massive loss

Probably the best 2nd row forward I have seen at Hull.

Massive loss, as others have said dreading him playing against us.

What a fecking ridiculous thing to say!!

whoosh

















Surprised it took so long

I couldn't make my mind up whether you were taking the p1$$ or not

gareth ellis will be 33 next year

Freak of a player. If he could perform like that every week he would be up there with the best in the world IMO. Will be missed but here's to hoping we've had the best years out of him.

No where near past his best. He'll light up at Saints next year and probably be in their top 5 best players - such is his quality. Massive miss for us.

I agree with this, very few players have the ability of Menzies to keep going like he has but I honestly believe Manu is the same mould, he is like a fine wine who appears to keep getting better.

Manu is a freak, awesome player who we will miss badly. Loved having him at our great club and gutted he's leaving.

I don't care what people say about Hock and Westwood. Willie Manu is currently the best back rower in SL, that is until Ellis arrives over here next season



Honestly though, Manu can do things no other player in the league can. Since we've been at the KC he's certainly been one of the best players for Hull FC along with Swain.

I was told about a month ago he had apparently invested heavily with his brother into a cattle station in Oz as their retirement plan ?? I dont know if he even has a brother but if that is the case he wont be at Saints past his contract end!!

He has been great for us. One of the few truly exciting players we have had in recent years. Its a shame we can't keep him and although we will miss him no one is irreplaceable.

Not unless he's the next Doctor's assistant he won't be.

Even I smiled at your post cos I got it - as you say whooooosh

Not missed a game for us this season and doubt he'll suddenly start picking up niggling injuries in the next couple of years
