Filipe Manu - known as ‘Flip’ - is of Tongan heritage, and was part of the Melbourne Storm set-up before coming back to rugby with the Souths club in Brisbane. After an impressive showing on the EWF development tour of the UK in 2008, Flip has now joined the club on a permanent basis.

Flip played club rugby for Palmyra in 2009, and finished second in the PG Hampshire vote count for Best & Fairest player in First Grade. His ‘little’ brother Sika represented New Zealand at the 2008 RLWC and is a fixture in the Storm line up.

HE looks like a solid lad!

Is he an ex Palymya player?

yip you are correct Profile updated

Yep, he played for Paly this past season... Strong man, with some good talent...

I think he also represented Paly at the Singapore sevens this year and also might have played against the Singapore Cricket Club in a 15s game on the Tuesday following the sevens competition, but so did Fulvio...

i hear flipper is out injured, nothing to serious but he has a back injury which could rule him out of training for a few weeks

hes got an inflamed disc in his back

He was just named in the 7's squad to go to Fiji.

Whats happened to him, is he still signed? There is no mention on the player profiles at the official site?

He's playing club rugby in Brisbane. or at least was doing so this year.
