I really feel for Manu, such a talent but so injury prone, he
cannot be cost effective for a club.

I didn't watch this - I can't really be bothered.
But - I will put it here for interest.
It is from a show on SuperSport (which is basically the SA
version of Sky Sport).

I refer the Honourable Gentleman to my previous response on the
matter:

> As I've said before, much as he causes defences no end of
collywobbles when he plays, Tuilagi is injured too often. You
get a halndful of games out of him, then he's off for months to
recover from an injury. If you're lucky, he's fit for a RWC
campaign, but there needs to be serious planning on him not
being available for the Six Nations or for RWC2023.

As you say, he ties up a lot of a club's salary cap considering
how often he's sidelined:
--- Quote from: Wikipedia ---
> After injuring his hamstring in late 2014, Manu did not play
for the Tigers again until January 2016, making his comeback off
the bench in the 30–27 East Midlands derby win over Northampton
Saints. He played for the rest of the 2015/16 season. However,
his injury problems continued and he was sidelined for most of
the 2016/17 season with knee problems, making his comeback in
the first game of the 2017/18, only to suffer a new injury to
his other knee. In a bid to cure his injury problems Tuilagi
visited a Samoan witch doctor in November 2017, the witch doctor
claimed to have found three spirits had married Tuilagi and were
causing the injuries, and massaged Tuilagi for two hours a day
for four days to block the spirits.
