Manu's numbers tell the story of a centre built on consistency rather than flash — over 27 matches he has sustained a high defensive workload, averaging more than seven tackles per game with single-match peaks approaching 19, marking him out as a reliable last line of defence in midfield. His carrying is steady and purposeful, contributing close to 25 metres per game across a substantial sample of Champions Cup, Challenge Cup, and Top 14 action. The combination of volume in both phases suggests a player trusted to do the unglamorous work that holds a team structure together.
