Fletch & Hindy with Marty Taupau

Well you have to read into it... the fact he released Marty shows that at that point in time, Des didn’t see what he wanted out of Marty so was happy to release him...yet he went on to be a premier prop.

Whether he would or wouldn’t do that to Lane is pure speculation.

Also, I'd say like most player's, Marty wouldn't ask for a release unless there's more $$$ on offer. ( James Maloney has been quoted as saying " I've never moved clubs for less money!" and he's been through a few )
The Tigers wanted Marty and could afford to pay him more, just like with us getting him from the Tigers.
If they're not wanted by any other club then in effect there is no buyer and certain players are worth more to different clubs - like when we signed BK, most thought we were paying overs but look what it meant for us at the time.
 
Maybe he and Kevvie should tag team to take one word of a double-barrelled name each.

Hodges: Great try by Cherry
Kevvie: Evans

They would have a great time calling Manly v Doggies with Cherry-Evans, Harawira-Naera, Faitala-Mariner, Mashall-King and Watene-Zelezniak.
