Now it seems the big fellah is going to take up an opportunity to play with Salford, a British club in the UK Super League. Big Manu’s contract with us doesn't expire until the end of the 2018 season, but reports from Guardian rugby league reporter Aaron Bowler say he has signed with the Salford Red Devils. He has been a bit player of late, suffering from a range of injuries, and it is clear other players are more fa- voured nowadays, but it is easy to forget it is only a few years ago we were celebrating Manu becoming the first NRL player to score 10 tries or more every year for a decade, and that he was International Winger of the year in 2008 after the Kiwis’ won the Rugby League World Cup.

  • Blacks Dismiss Wallabies Tandem Tearaway
    SPORTS SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 2015 Boks face massive Test against Pumas — Meyer JOHANNESBURG: A Rugby Championship campaign that has gone pear-shaped for South Africa means great significance is being attached to the final-round clash with Argentina in Durban today. “This will be a massive Test for us,” admitted Springboks coach Heyneke Meyer as he looked ahead to a showdown that will decide who finishes bottom of the standings. Australia and title-holders New Zealand have nine points each ahead of a Sydney title decider early today, South Africa a paltry two from losing bonus points and Argentina none. The 2015 Springboks have become the team that cannot put a game to bed, conceding late tries in Brisbane and Johannesburg to fail against the Wallabies and All Blacks. “We will never accept that we lost our last two Tests,” stresses 47-year-old Meyer, who has won 26 Tests, lost 11 and drawn two since taking charge of the green and gold three seasons ago. “On both occasions we were in positions to win and let them slip.” Peter de Villiers, who was succeeded as South Africa coach by Meyer, blames overweight Springboks for the fade-outs. “We need to address the fighting-fit weight of the players so that they can last for 80 minutes,” he says. “The players are carry- ing excess unnatural weight which is why we cannot maintain intensity for full matches. “I believe we bulk up our Springboks instead of making them match-fit.” Although the Springboks have been much more impressive than fellow strugglers the Pumas in the first two Championship rounds, Meyer is wary of the Argentines.
