Manu Ma'u: The Tongan Terminator (NRL.com)

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on December 22, 2018 at 5:42pm in Media Reports

Parramatta forward Manu Ma'u has a new nickname and it's all thanks to the torment he went through during the Eels' painful 2018 season.

Ma'u went low in a tackle on Samoan international James Gavet during the Pacific Test match in June and copped an accidental knee to the face, instantly bringing his season to an end.

Common cheekbone fractures can see a player return to the paddock within a month but the 30-year-old joined Panthers winger Josh Mansour in 2018 with a worst-case scenario and missed the final nine rounds of the regular season.

    I really liked what i saw from Shaun Lane this year and have high hopes for him - I reckon he has the potential to be great for us - especially if the front row are getting us on the front foot.

    If Lane produces Mau will be one of the blokes under pressure - hopefully he will rise to the challenge..
