CONFIRMED: The sports world is ablaze with excitement over the latest update on Sydney Roosters star Joseph Manu. What was once mere speculation and rumour is now officially validated…
After weeks of mounting whispers, fan theories, and media frenzy, the Sydney Roosters have officially confirmed that Joseph Manu has put pen to paper, securing his future with the Tricolours in one of the most significant re-signings of the NRL season. The club released a formal statement this morning, confirming that Manu has agreed to a lucrative multi-year extension that will keep him at Bondi well beyond 2025.
This blockbuster announcement ends persistent rumours linking the 28-year-old with a high-profile switch to rugby union, with reported offers coming from both New Zealand and Japan. Manu’s name had dominated headlines for months, with speculation suggesting a departure from the NRL was imminent. However, the Roosters’ persistence, loyalty, and long-term vision have paid off — and fans could not be more thrilled.
Joseph Manu, who debuted for the Roosters in 2016, has become one of the game’s most electrifying and versatile backs. Equally dangerous in the centres, at fullback, or in the halves, Manu’s commitment signals a major win for the Roosters not just on the field, but off it — reinforcing the club’s culture of stability and long-term success.
“I’m incredibly proud to continue my journey with the Roosters,” Manu said. “This club is my home. I’ve grown here as a player and a person, and I know there’s more to achieve. I want to bring more success to this jersey and to our fans.”
Head Coach Trent Robinson echoed the sentiment, calling the decision a “huge statement of intent.”
“Joey is one of the most naturally gifted players I’ve ever coached. His dedication to this team, his work ethic, and his love for the Roosters are second to none. This is a massive moment for us as a club,” Robinson said.
Manu’s decision to remain in the NRL, and more specifically with the Roosters, is expected to have a ripple effect across the competition, influencing player movements and contract negotiations in the months ahead.
Supporters have flooded social media with messages of celebration and relief, hailing the announcement as a sign that the Roosters are once again poised for a serious title push. With Manu secured, alongside the likes of James Tedesco, Luke Keary, and emerging talents like Joseph Suaalii, the Sydney Roosters look more formidable than ever.
This confirmation doesn’t just bring clarity — it brings hope, ambition, and belief. What was once mere speculation and rumour is now officially validated… and Sydney Roosters fans are ready for the next chapter in their club’s proud legacy.
