'Menace' making it 'impossible' for Maguire to snub

Haumole Olakau'atu is fast getting to the stage where NSW coach Michael Maguire will find it impossible not to give him a State of Origin jumper. Olakau'atu was outstanding in Manly's come-from-behind win over the Eels, breaking the line several times and getting away some smart offloads. Had it not been for a couple of touches of class from the giant back-rower, it could have been a different story after Parra got off to a good start. The 25-year-old Olakau'atu is enjoying his best start to a season in the NRL and Anthony Seibold has brought a new consistency to his game. Maguire is looking for fresh blood and the Manly menace certainly fits the bill on current form.
