Kapow Manly

Obligatory video.

He's carved up Manly a few times. ..

I'm reading that part of the deal is a swap with Ballin, so there's a fair bit of work to be done before this happens.

I think we should just sit back and wait before we all start getting a hard on about this.

MB is one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet, sad that he'd have to end his career at another club but that's business these days.

My issue with Taupau is his work rate; he goes missing in matches. However, when he is at his best, he is so destructive...we need a psycho in our team and he fits the bill. I really hope we snare him.

 

[Loobs]

He is a kiwi

I guess you won't be rating my comment "funny" then

 

[bones]

If he is unhappy with how the tigers have treated Farah, then maybe Manly won't be a good choice for him.

Hope we get him though. Just what we need.

We have plenty of workers so that is not a big issue for me

This is all speculation but a definite yes for tapau.

Assuming barret and bozo get the best out of him, he is the go forward we need.

 

[globaleagle]

just being silly (for a change) but it'd be awesome so see Tafua, Matai, Tapau all lined up. You'd actually hear some opposition players crapping themselves!!

I'd definitely prefer to just hear them do it too as opposed to seeing or smelling it...

 

[Nice Beaver]

get out the pitch forks and fire bring back Toovey to win us a premiership.

I was being faceceous

I know consistency is an issue, but there have been times over the last two seasons when Tapau - for both the Tigers and New Zealand - has been up there with the most damaging forwards in the game. If he can produce that kind of form for us, he'll be a more than welcome addition.

As I mentioned in the other related post, the deal seems rather strange when you think the tigers are willing to take on a veteran hooker coming off a serious injury from which he won't return until mid next year compounded with the fact Farah more than likely will dig his heels in and not leave remembering he has a heavy back ended contract.

Well their coach did try to get rid of Farah by saying that he would be played in reserve grade and now he has to follow through on it.

Hard on... I think most of us are well past that already...

Yes he did but illogical and unjustifiable to play a state of origin hooker in state cup irrespective of the political pulling power Farah may have from the fan base if not within the club.

Although there is a clause within a player contract which states they must play a certain number of first grade games to qualify for full compensation which may otherwise permit a club from terminating ta player's contract if they don't. I think this is the clause in Balin's contract. Whether this is common I don't know but could be the option the tigers may use against Farah. As to whether he would be paid his full entitlement, which would at least include representative payments, would be interesting.

Meh sick of hearing such speculation.
The recruitment so far has been so crap and none of the big names have come through, so I won't believe a bit of it until pen is on paper.

Fair comment as well, could just be his manager talking up his price!!

Clean up in aisle 3!

I agree it would be a silly thing to do, but some people would still do it. And I think Jason Taylor is one of those people who would.
