Manu Vatuvei scored dozens of spectacular tries for the Warriors.
For much of the 2000s, a hulking winger with a glittering golden smile was one of the Warriors’ most recognisable players, but his career – and life – has taken some rusty turns. The most serious came late in 2019 when Manu Vatuvei was arrested and charged for allegedly possessing methamphetamine for supply and importing the Class A drug. He has denied the charges. The former Warriors star outed himself on Sunday night, 48 hours ahead of the deadline for him to take his suppression fight to the Court of Appeal, as the sportsman facing a string of methamphetamine charges, following a long battle to keep his name secret.
Wests Tigers have signed three promising Kiwi rookies that coach Michael Maguire spotted while watching a live stream of a New Zealand under-18s representative fixture.
The recruitment of forwards Tray Lolesio and Tamehana Paruru and halfback/hooker Jarney Proctor-Harwood is an example of the amount of talent in New Zealand as Maguire was watching the match to view some other players the Tigers had already signed.
With 25 of the 85 players who took part in last weekend s virtual NRL rookie camp being from New Zealand, the number of Kiwis in the Telstra Premiership is set to surpass the 23 per cent of all talent in last season s competition.
