Re: Manu to Racing 92?
Either way it needs a resolution asap.
I hope he stays, but I fully understand why he might go, I genuinely can't see him at another English club.

To win is not as important as playing with style!
Re: Manu to Racing 92?
I hope someone has offered him a benefit year next year if he signs a 3 year contract which I believe is outside the cap and should net him a reasonably large wonga.
Hehehehehehehehe

Re: Manu to Racing 92?
I seem to recall that this was mooted a few months ago as part of a package to keep him here. Don't ask me where I saw it as it is some time ago but I'm 99% certain I did see it suggested.
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!

He is a very intelligent rugby player and other players love playing with him, see Slade comments last week.
HOWEVER and with the greatest respect he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer away from rugby, therefore his options after rugby will be limited. You can’t see him going into journalism or punditary
Yes. It really does.
Re: Manu to Racing 92?
At the moment it does but that isn’t going to last forever. My point is he needs to make his money now as not sure what he’s going to do afterellis9 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 9:00 pmA few hundred grand a year doesn't pay the bills?Mark62 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 2:14 pmThere is no doubt he is very highly thought by the Leicester faithful but that doesn’t pay the bills.

Re: Manu to Racing 92?
I'm fairly sure Manu will be gone when his contract is up.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

Re: Manu to Racing 92?
For me I think this isn’t the right time for him to move on. Just battled back to fitness, showing some great form for both Tigers and now England. He’s 27 years old, sign him up for another 2 years, he can then concentrate on the WC, tour with the Lions in 21 and should he so wish move on to France, he’d still be the right side of 30. Playing at 12 might just allow him a couple of extra years of playing.
Re: Manu to Racing 92?
Exactly! And French teams will still pay him massive doe even when older,they have form for it!

Re: Manu to Racing 92?
Whether he stays or goes is up to him, but I get more and more dissolutioned with the game as time goes by. The introduction of big money has ruined the game. Yes, the standard of play has improved, but everything else has gone south.
Morality and rugby values are often missing, loyality to a particular club has gone, and that cuts both ways, players to their club, and club to their players. Too many Bruce and Nigel types buying clubs and then doing their best to cheat the financial rules so as to gain an advantage. Meanwhile others not far down the road are living way beyond their means with massive debts they will never be able to pay back, in an attempt to keep up.
Those that piled in the money are now trying to alter the rules to remove the possibility of relegation to protect their financial investment, despite the damage this will cause to the game itself. I fear we are gradually slipping into the same cesspit that the football now languishes in.
Sad, sad times!

Re: Manu to Racing 92?
How would we replace Manu? The sad truth is, we couldn't.
Re: Manu to Racing 92?
One player does not make a team successful. As of today there are 8 teams above us in the Premiership who do not have Manu. We will be OK without him....even though I too would like him to stay.Dangerous4 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 16, 2019 7:29 pm How would we replace Manu? The sad truth is, we couldn't.
