Filipe Manu - known as ‘Flip’ - is of Tongan heritage, and was part of the Melbourne Storm set-up before coming back to rugby with the Souths club in Brisbane. After an impressive showing on the EWF development tour of the UK in 2008, Flip has now joined the club on a permanent basis.
Flip played club rugby for Palmyra in 2009, and finished second in the PG Hampshire vote count for Best & Fairest player in First Grade. His ‘little’ brother Sika represented New Zealand at the 2008 RLWC and is a fixture in the Storm line up.
