This is what Benji Marshall should have done! Go to Japan to learn the game then come to NZ to have a crack at the All Blacks. He’ll be in the next RWC squad
I’m a massive fan of both codes. I did the commentary on RUclips on Sat for 2 games in our local League comp. Then went to the MLR final the next day. I watch a lot of videos for League and Union. It goes both ways too. Martin Gleason the previous English RU attack coach said a lot those boys watch League as well. I’d say Joey going to Union as a back will be much less taxing on his body because of the reduction of tackling and running. I wish him the best. I saw him in Vegas a few months ago.
His Father was a rugby star in his days having played for NZ colts that featured a lot of former All Blacks He was that good they took him knowing he wouldn't played 2 or 3 games because they were played on Sunday He was every local boys hero growing up
@@brynlawrence9554 Yeah perhaps, but I doubt he's unsure of his Union skills. He's clearly a world class player in Rugby Union... He got offers from France but prefered to go to Japan. No doubt he would be a starter for 13 of the 14 Top14 clubs
@@andersondot8640 I'm not saying that's wrong, I'm just saying that it would have been better if he said that money was a big part of the equation/decision
Too late for him to have a career in Test Rugby - He won't get the cash if he signs with a NZ Super Rugby Team that he is currently on playing Japanese Rugby - especially it being a short season.
hahah nahhhh, he'll have his hands full learning how to ACTUALLY tackle, pass and make decisions. League players always struggle with these things since it's so simple for them usually.
atleast he will actually represent his country more times in a year than he ever will at kiwis😂 International Rugby League is dead and is not comparable to Union.
NRL is rugby league or league for short, Rugby union is usually referred to as rugby because it came first so I think it's fair they get the right to be called rugby. I call rugby union just "union" instead and rugby league just "league" because I'm a league fan.

Who will be in the next world cup? Not Manu lol.
Good luck bro, would love to see you in the all blacks next World Cup
Just got back from Japan for a holiday. What a spot. I’d swap everything I have here to move over there. He’ll love it. Good on the young fella.
Lol, its always funny watching leaguies have to swallow the fact that their favourite players like and respect rugby union more.
Huh ? Where did Manu say that ? He said the All Blacks all watch and respect league. Literally the opposite of your delusional comment 😅😅😅
Having respect and respecting something more big difference. Union is a walk in the park compared to league
@@owenward3542 lol. Or maybe they want the challenge? I think that’s what he said right? Start with the smaller league and build up?

Joey in the centres #13 could be a danger man , train hard toko you’ll make it just back yourself cz the talent is already there 🔥🔥🔥
It's a good thing he's not going to the Top 14. That comp is friggin brutal.
Rugby league takes you around Australia but rugby union takes you around the world
Rugby League took me to England, Wales, Ireland, Germany ,Czech Republic, and Serbia.
Gud luck Brother 🩶
If it's for the challenge as Manu said, he should have gone to the French Top14. Going to Japan is obviously for the money
Or maybe he wanted to develop his game first in an easier league?
Who wouldn't want a good pay cheque for themselves?

Auckland blues are waiting 😂

He'll get bored playing in front of crowds of 5k and never touching the ball. He'll come back to league, they all do.
The ideal situation is Teddy retires within 2 years and Joey comes back as fb

They have avg 9k+ and 40k+ for the final. JRLO has grown every year. Salaries are likely to get bigger too.
More people show up to a rugby game than a league game. Nrl is dying in international wise.
I'll never forgive you for leaving rugby League 😂😂 can you send me some pokemon cards from japan?
😂😂😂😂
NRL is rugby. Wtf do you think the R stands for?
