Proven by your own post to how I feel I've seen him "Taken a while to settle" for me he was excellent from day 1 and said so many times last year how undervalued he was. Stepped up even more so this year. Love him. Best player in the wrestle in all of SL. Got some great footwork great hands and tough as anything. Privileged to have the chance to see him play for my team

It's never been as bad as made out. Got pinged for 4 in 1 game this yr which boosted numbers. Mini and Watts are worse People talk of needing a nasty bar steward in the pack ..He's that. Comes with the territory

I'm not saying he wasn't good last year at all but for me he seemed to take a while to settle in to SL and was guilty of giving away daft penalties. This season he seems to have cut the penalties committed down greatly and has stepped up another level as he really does seem settled in the the City, Club and league.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Yep, the man is class. The metres he makes after contact, tackling, footwork and got cheeky offload in him too. Joined the club under the radar due to the frenzy over Pritchard but he's proved his international class. Would have been nice to see both Manu's in our back row together
