Sorry, I couldn't help but post it after I saw the words Manu to leave on the BBC site. Naughty step for me!

Re: Manu to leave
Tuilagi leaving Tigers wouldn't make a scrap of difference, for club or country. But i'll bet there's still a few who'd go into mourning if he did.ellis9 wrote:Nasi Manu to leave Edinburgh!

If he gets his fitness and form back, i'd rather have him playing for us than against us.

Re: Manu to leave
I'm surprised no one has asked if he is joining Tigers as he is a flanker/number 8.
Maybe he is
Maybe he isn't

I'm not surprised - according to the link you posted, he is joining Treviso.

Re: Manu to leave
oh yes, so it does!
Re: Manu to leave
Be careful what you wish for. The temptation may be to shoe-horn him into a backline for club or country that's done quite nicely without him thank you.ads wrote:If he gets his fitness and form back, i'd rather have him playing for us than against us.
His re-inclusion could only be regressive.

Re: Manu to leave
Those of us with a little bit of memory left will remember a similar thread a few years ago about Manu joining another club, quite possibly Edinburgh
Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.
Re: Manu to leave
Its a pity he didn't go. Just think how much money could have been spent on the catering facilities at Welford Rd instead.GS wrote:Those of us with a little bit of memory left will remember a similar thread a few years ago about Manu joining another club, quite possibly Edinburgh

Re: Manu to leave
If he left us prior to paying back by what he owes in terms of performances it would be a disgrace... but nothing would suprise me these days

Regressive in the sense that he's been picked before? In this sense every player who has ever been picked before is a regressive selection. Eddie Jones' first squad was marginally different to that utilised by his predecessor - was it regressive?
As for club - has our backline gone that nicely this season? Or has it greatly missed a physical presence with offloading skills? And even in the event England's backline has gone well - is it perfect?
Some people are quick to forget - because he's direct doesn't mean he's meritless and is, according to everyone who matters (consecutive international and club coaching staffs, for example) a world class player.

Its perfectly sound, I wouldn't say it was astounding. But thankyou anyway.kornboy130 wrote:The logic here is astounding.Roly wrote:Be careful what you wish for.

Can't defend your position head on so just be facetious instead - so edgy.Roly wrote:Its perfectly sound, I wouldn't say it was astounding. But thankyou anyway.kornboy130 wrote:

Re: Manu to leave
Perfectly capable of doing it, but since you chose to misinterpret what I wrote and then went off on one, I chose to ignore your 'astounding logic'.kornboy130 wrote:

It's quite logical - if you think about it logically.
