No he has to apply to the RFL to become a federation player(a player who learned his trade in this country), a player can only do this in the last year of their current contract, which for Manu is next year. However he wont be classed as a federation player until his contract ends in the November of 2010.
In short, Manu is classed as a non federation player until the end of next season, but has the chance to become a federation player if he chooses to re-sign for Hull or any other super league club from the 2011 season onwards.
