In a stunning revelation, Joseph Manu has revealed that he may be ready to tackle a code-switch to rugby union, potentially leaving the Sydney Roosters in the process.
The 27-year-old outside back, who was once awarded the prestigious Golden Boot, is currently one of the most sought-after players in the NRL, as his contract with the Roosters comes to an end this season.
With his future uncertain, Manu has admitted that he is carefully considering his options for next year.
Speculation arose after reports emerged that he was mulling over a move to the 15-man code, with a lucrative $1.5 million contract in Japan.
If this potential transfer were to happen, rugby union would claim yet another victory, following the Roosters' recent acquisition of Wallabies flyer Mark Nawaqanitawase.
The stakes are high, and it remains to be seen if Manu will decide to make the leap across codes and leave his rugby league roots behind.
