Trent Robinson has vowed to fight to keep Joey Manu at the Sydney Roosters, banking on his eight years at Bondi to drive him to stay at the NRL club. Manu looms as one of the most in-demand free agents this summer, contracted until the end of next year but able to be approached for 2023 from November 1. He is almost certain to be a high priority pursuit for NRL rivals who would offer close to $1 million a year, with the potential lure of a No.1 jersey. But Robinson is confident Manu is an out-and-out Rooster. "Roger was only here for a couple of years before he left whereas Joey's been here for a long long time now," Robinson said "Ever since he was a kid he came over here and started playing. "You can see what he means to us as a team. I don't need to add much more other than that he's been a Rooster, he is a Rooster and and his family are Roosters as well. "We understand that it would be mad if there wasn't interest, but we definitely want to keep him as a Rooster."
