Much like you it would seem.
We dont have any other 2nd Rowers as good as Manu (at what he does) so in terms of the quality of the squad this is an improvement IMO. Not a fan of players playing for multiple countries but as has already been pointed out the Aussies dont seem to mind doing it so why should we put ourselves at a disadvantage?
I am surprised Manu agreed to play for England though. |

Whilst I don't believe he should be picked saying he isn't good enough is a bigger joke than mcnamaras decision.

Think you would change your mind if you saw him play every week.
Don't agree with him being selected though.It's a farce. |

Could get my head around the reasoning for Fa'asavalu, all his rugby league career in this country, etc.
Manu though seems a good bloke, decent enough player, but sends out all the wrong messages. Why don't we just get all the Aussies in whose grandparents or parents were born over here as well.
Surely second-row is the one position that we should not be importing players in.

Anybody who says he is not good enough to make the team has clearly not seen many Hull FC games this year, he has been one of our best players and even though he is Tongan, he qualifies to play for England so we may as well play to the rules like every other Rugby League national team does

If he is good enough to make the squad which player would he get in the side ahead of out of Burgess, Ellis, O'loughlin, Westwood and Tomkins?

Ignore O'loughlin as he should play 13 and is a totally different style of player.
Burgess and Ellis should start with Manu off the bench. |

Shocking.
You'd never see Australia, New Zealand or France doing this sort of thing.

He would basically be taking the shirt of Tomkins/Westwood.
Westwood is wasted in that role anyway, he's an 80 minute engine, definately not an impact player like Manu.
