Trent Robinson says there have been no signs of nerves from Joey Manu ahead of his rematch with Latrell Mitchell, with the Sydney Roosters insisting last year's dramas were in the past. Manu has somehow become a forgotten man since Mitchell's ban last year, despite being left with three metal plates in his face. "He's as consistent a person as there is," Robinson said. "He's been as consistent person throughout coming back to contact and training. He's just been getting about the business. "He doesn't need to rise and fall with any different emotions. I've never seen it in him and it's been no different. He's just ready to play some footy." "This is the funny thing about what's swirling around. We want to be a great team in 2022," Robinson said. "Now we're playing round three and it happens to be Souths but it doesn't matter. The rivalry is not as big as how we want to be playing in 2022." Robinson wants to create a new team in 2022 as Luke Keary and Sam Walker adapt in the halves, with changes also in the back row where Nat Butcher will start in place of Angus Crichton this week on form. "The most important thing that we want to do this year is become a great team," Robinson said. "We've ebbed-and-flowed in the last couple of years and we haven't handled that. That's not our path this year."
