Fletch & Hindy with Marty Taupau

[castle eagle]

found this on youtube and loved the comment by Marty 56 seconds into the interview when Fletch asked "whats the difference this year?"

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Geez I like Marty! He gets Manly and is Manly!

 

[R3]

Geez I like Marty! He gets Manly and is Manly!

I could see big Marty as a motivational speaker OR a Rugby League presenter/reporter when his playing days are done.
He’s a rather eloquent, well mannered, articulate, and confident Manly leader.
Good stuff

 

[MadMarcus]

Weren’t there rumours that Marty didn’t get along with Baz? That response would tend to support that...

 

[nightster]

If we didn't get Des back we would have lost Marty .... imho

 

[QueefRichards]

I reckon we would've held onto Lane had we had Hasler as well.

 

[nightster]

I reckon we would've held onto Lane had we had Hasler as well.

Yeah he was really pissed off with the way TB handled the Townsville/ Jacko debacle

 

[QueefRichards]

Could be wrong... But was Hasler coach when Lane was released from the Bulldogs? When he went to the Warriors?

That's correct but I wouldn't read too much into it as Taupau was also granted a release from the Dogs under Hasler when he joined the Tigpies

 

[Fro]

Yeah he was really pissed off with the way TB handled the Townsville/ Jacko debacle

Gladstone...

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Des & staff must have worked on his discipline & error rate per game you don’t see much of it anymore.

 

[Kevinward777]

What a slap in the face for Barrett.

 

[Briza]

Weren’t there rumours that Marty didn’t get along with Baz? That response would tend to support that...

It was said that Marty was disappointed at the party culture and non professional attitude to training and apathy after losses.

 

[QueefRichards]

What a slap in the face for Barrett.

Would've given him Nathan Brown flashbacks

 

[nightster]

Gladstone...

yeah nah they're both somewhere in queensland

I was thinking the same thing, really presents himself very well and can actually put a sentence together without an UMMM or an ERRRR

It's amazing how Mark Geyer still has a media gig

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

That was a go F@ck Yourself of the highest order from big Marty to the man who shall remain nameless.

 

[The better Robbo]

Its that exact reason we are a big chance to re-sign the majority of this squad aswell as recruit quality players. Players want to play for succesful teams. Same as when we had Matai, The Stewarts, lyon etc accepting unders to stay in a succesful team that is a genuine chance to win a premiership. Manly is back!

You can add Justin Hodges to that list.

You can add Justin Hodges to that list.

How many concussions did Hodges have in his career? Sounds like a long term boxer with the amount of mistakes and the slur in his voice.
