At training yesterday

Holy ****. This guy really is the hulk. Might not be as tall as Taupau but could be just as powerful in his running.

His biceps are wider than most player's thighs

Funny - that is exactly what Gavin Cooper said of him in an article from 2015 when he was about to get his first run for the Cows..."His guns are bigger than my legs..."

I wonder how it affects his passing ability, as the arm is too large to reach across his chest.

Looks like a tank, hopefully being at manly will allow him to "nurture his nature" or so to speak

We'll get to see all 3 grades from 1pm Saturday.

Looking forward to checking out the giant recruits

Had a reasonable first up game considering not having trained with the side.50 minutes with 22 tackles and 12 runs for 106 metres and 32 post contact metres.Hope he can improve on that this week.Interesting to note Stromquist played for Parra's ISP side against them.62 minutes with 35 tackles,19 runs for 150 metres and 50 post contact metres.Played at lock,maybe a good depth pickup for next year?

Zorbas article today says look out for Tanginoa in the NRL in a couple of weeks, when he has learnt the Sea Eagles attacking and defensive plays.

Tanginoa seems to be firming as Nate Myles replacement in the top 25 folks.

Our mini Marty

THE Sea Eagles beat the deadline to sign forward Kelepi Tanginoa by just 10 minutes last Friday.

And Tanginoa played his first game for Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles against Wentworthville last Saturday despite being listed in the Wentworthville team.

Veteran halfback Peta Godinet, who played for Blacktown Sea Eagles, said: “He’s a mini Marty Taupau.”

Look for Tanginoa in the NRL once he learns our defensive and attacking systems.

Peter Peters is a Sea Eagles media and sales consultant

 

[nightster]

he hasn't done much in that half .... but he's not alone there ..... look like boys playing men

How good was Tanginoa today, some brilliant runs against the chooks. Defence needs a little work although I'd love to keep him in first grade, could be something special

I like him and happy to have him over Lane but might not have the fitness for it at the moment

One is a middle and one is an edge backrower so I doubt one gets the nod over the other.

He didn't do anything overly noteworthy, just took the ball up hard which is his job. I think AFB is a much better prospect but nothing wrong with bringing Tanginoa in when required.

Ave 10m per run. I thunk thats good.

Certainly is. He played a nice cameo but I don't think he blew the game open or anything.

Has potential. Winterstein has potential. If we don't see more from either they failed
