You'll be there or thereabouts come the end of the season and as for writing Manu off after one game.....surely not! The guy is a class act and will be a good player for Saints.
No, he's not. He's the sort of player the Sky commentators get excited about because occasionally in a televised game he delivers an offload resulting in a try. But if you look at his contribution over 80 minutes, he is prone to crucial errors which cost rather more games than he helps to win. Like Francis Meli, but in the pack.
When we signed him, I thought it was a terrible move, but lots of people got excited, so I thought maybe I just hadn't seen enough of him, and so was willing to look again. But tonight is exactly what I expected from him.
But like I said, tonight wasn't just about him. There isn't a man in a Saints shirt tonight who can hold their heads up when drawing their pay. That was appalling.
