Not sure if everyone knew and was surprised he was named for RMC this weekend after being let go by manly before his contract even started

Ton of potential and surprised he is back playing league as I had read and heard he was going back to boxing full time

He is a Klemmer clone if he can get his attitude right he could be just as good

Supposedly left to pursue a boxing career. Is currently playing for the Auburn Warriors in RMC.

Trouble-prone forward Willis Meehan has been released from his NRL contract with Manly to pursue a career in boxing.

Meehan was thrown a career lifeline by the Sea Eagles midway through last year after being sacked by the Sydney Roosters for a string of violent incidents.

He had not been cleared by the NRL to resume playing first grade and on Tuesday, Manly announced the 21-year-old - who played one NRL game with the Roosters in 2014 - would quit the sport to concentrate on boxing.

"It was decided it was in the best interest of all concerned that Willis made a commitment to one sport,'' Manly football operations manager Gareth Holmes said.

"With the time needed in an NRL full-time squad, Willis chose to go in a different direction and we wish him well in his endeavours."

The front-rower has a 5-0 professional boxing record and is the son of prominent New Zealand heavyweight Kali Meehan.

In 2015, Willis Meehan was given a good behaviour bond without a conviction after he headbutted a man and stole his watch outside The Star casino.

He was also convicted and put on a good behaviour bond for assaulting a taxi driver in Maroubra and admitted to working as a standover man for underworld criminals to pay his debts.

He spent last year in reserve grade for the Sea Eagles however the NRL had yet to clear him to return to the top grade.

An NRL spokesman said Meehan's matter was still before the integrity unit and they had been considering a proposal for him to play first grade this year.

Less than two months after quitting Manly - supposedly to concentrate on boxing - Meehan has returned to the game.

He'll lace up the boots for Auburn Warriors in the third-tier Ron Massey Cup on Saturday afternoon.

The Warriors' coach is former Rabbitohs player Darren Maroon, who coached the Sea Eagles' SG Ball side last season.

We can also reveal there was more to Willis's departure from Manly than met the eye. Shortly before walking away from the Sea Eagles, he damaged a sponsor car to the extent that it could not be re-issued.


Sounds like some things never change.
