Reports saying that rival clubs ready to offer him fullback money to try entice him away from the Roosters.

My question to the Kennel is, despite how Dufty plays next year would you like us to use Dufty for next season only and make a play for Manu despite how much money we already have invested in our backline

Yes. We should be going hard for him for 23 (same with Papenhuyzen). We still need a hooker beforehand tho. Manu's on good money already (reportedly 720k) even tho he's in the centres which is the problem. If he genuinely wants to play fullback we're in for a chance I guess. I wouldn't be paying him 1m (or close to it, e.g. 900-950k) tho.

Agree, I think it could be worth the risk despite the money he would command

Money needs to be budgeted better than spending on Manu.

People forget in November next year Burton can take offers elsewhere. We have got him on the cheap. He will need a substantial upgrade. Along with the costs of a quality 9.

Lol. Average fullback and above average fullback. That’s hysterical.
He'd be more than a good fullback. There are a lot of good fullbacks in the NRL tho. Technically if Manu's around the 8th best fullback in the NRL he's in or around the average category.
