Joey Manu to Skip NRL Return to Focus on 2027 World Cup
喬伊·馬努將放棄回歸 NRL，專注於 2027 年世界盃
Joey Manu, a former star of the National Rugby League (NRL), is currently navigating a major career transition.
喬伊·馬努(Joey Manu)是前國家橄欖球聯賽(NRL)的明星，目前正處於重大的職業轉型期。
After moving to France to play for Racing 92 in 2024, Manu has set his sights on a new goal: representing the All Blacks at the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
自2024年移居法國效力於Racing 92俱樂部後，馬努確立了一個新目標：代表全黑隊(All Blacks)參加2027年橄欖球世界盃。
While there was widespread speculation in 2025 that the homesick star might return to the NRL to play for teams like the New Zealand Warriors, those rumors have cooled.
雖然2025年曾有廣泛傳聞稱，這位思鄉心切的球星可能會重返NRL加盟紐西蘭勇士隊(New Zealand Warriors)等球隊，但這些傳言目前已趨於平息。
Currently, Manu is fully committed to his professional obligations in the French Top 14.
目前，馬努全心投入法國Top 14聯賽的職業責任。
To achieve his dream of playing in the World Cup, Manu knows he must balance the demands of rugby union with the logistical reality that he may eventually need to return to New Zealand to qualify for national selection.
為了實現參加世界盃的夢想，馬努深知必須在聯盟式橄欖球(Rugby Union)的要求與後勤現實間取得平衡，即他最終可能需要回到紐西蘭以取得國家隊遴選資格。
For now, the transition from rugby league to union remains his primary focus, proving that chasing international glory requires both tactical skill and significant personal sacrifice.
目前，從聯盟式轉型為橄欖球仍是他的主要焦點，這證明了追逐國際榮耀既需要戰術技巧，也需要重大的個人犧牲。
