Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Consistent carrier with defensive presence

Across 17 matches Manu has shown a reliable dual contribution, averaging over seven carries and more than 30 metres per game while also putting in close to five tackles — a balance that points to a centre used on both sides of the ball. His best outings, where he has hit double figures in both carries and tackles in a single game, suggest he can shoulder a heavy workload when the team needs it. Four tries across the sample add a finishing dimension to what is primarily an industrious, all-round midfield profile.
