Former league international Mark Carroll has issued a stern warning to the rugby union world, cautioning them about the looming return of NRL stars Joseph Suaalii and Joey Manu.
Carroll, a seasoned veteran who knows a thing or two about the game, believes that both Roosters players will eventually find their way back to the NRL once their rugby deals come to an end.
Speaking specifically about Manu's departure to play for Toyota Verblitz in Japan, Carroll expressed his confidence that the utility star will soon grow tired of the rugby landscape and crave the fast-paced action and camaraderie of rugby league once again.
With a touch of Aussie slang, Carroll hinted that boredom will eventually lead Manu back to his roots in the NRL.
Roosters coach Trent Robinson may be feeling the weight of Manu's departure, but Carroll remains optimistic about the return of both players.
Drawing on his own experience of the game's allure, Carroll predicted that Suaalii and Manu will ultimately miss the excitement, challenges, and camaraderie that rugby league offers both on and off the field.
In classic sporting fashion, Carroll emphasized that the adrenaline, profile, and drama of the NRL will likely lure Suaalii and Manu back to the game they know best.
With a nod to the rich history and passion of Rugby League, Carroll confidently asserted that both players will find their way back home, where they truly belong.
