[Resurrected] Marty's rumoured wanderings thread
- Thread starter bazeagle
- Start date
Even I didn't think it looked like P Sharp.... and gave no substance to the rumour anyway.
And as an added benefit I don't have to feel bad / sorry for going "****ing cat can **** right off if that's the ****ing attitude". (Not that social media allows for such...recompenses).

Good luck with that! Hope he likes England.
Still, its Parramatta....so who gives a sh*t.

I obviously can't be 100 percent sure of what Marty is on.. but I thought it was close to the 600-700k for next year
I thought he was on the roids
This will do me today.

NEW Zealand Test prop Marty Taupau is becoming increasingly likely to quit Manly after this season and sign with the Sydney Roosters.
The Daily Telegraph understands Taupau has met with Roosters chairman Nick Politis about a surprise shift to Bondi after feeling unwanted at Manly after being privately shopped around to rival clubs earlier this season.
He will consider seeking a release in the next few weeks.
Manly are likely to approve Taupau’s release although incoming coach, John Cartwright, may seek a “clear-the-air’ conversation with the Kiwi enforcer.

Taupau’s back-ended deal next at Manly, which expires at the end of 2020, means he is in for a bumper payday next season, upwards of $900,000.
Well-placed sources claim Taupau will eventually land in Bondi in what would be a crippling blow following Manly’s season from hell.
A photo emerged on social media on Thursday appearing to show Taupau in a cafe with Parramatta officials.
The Daily Telegraph has learned that Taupau was meeting a friend, who is a member of Parramatta’s welfare department. The staff member is not involved recruitment and Parramatta claim they have no interest in Taupau.
Taupau, who has run for nearly 150 metres a game this year, was left angry when Manly shopped him around earlier this season without his knowledge.

At that stage, Cronulla showed considerable interest and the Roosters were also approached. Those clubs pulled out though when told Manly wanted the full amount of Taupau’s contract.
It is understood the Sharks, at that point, actually made an offer.
By potentially offloading Taupau, a salary-cap restricted Manly would have room to move in the player market next season.
There is continued speculation the Manly playing roster is split into two groups who professionally play together but aren’t close off the field.
According to insiders, Taupau feels “unloved” and now “does his own thing.”
Taupau’s mood didn’t improve after starting from the bench against Wests Tigers last Thursday night at Campbelltown Stadium.
The Roosters may look to reshape their salary cap should the club proceed with signing Taupau, given they have already signed Angus Crichton for next season on top of their 2018 recruitment drive that netted Cooper Cronk and James Tedesco.

Coach Trent Robinson’s side already boast some first-class front-rowers, including Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Dylan Napa, Sio Siua Taukeiaho, Lindsay Collins, Zane Tetevano and the retiring Frank-Paul Nuuausala.
Just last month, Taupau confronted rumours about his future by saying: “There are a lot of rumours getting thrown around but I hear it externally so I jump on Twitter and my name is getting thrown around left right and centre.
“But I don’t know, I’m contracted here until 2020. Under contract I can’t do anything. Of course I’m here next year. You know what it’s like here.”
Taupau has made 85 tackle busts this season.

I hope he stays.
Look at the list of props the rorters already have and Manly are cheating the cap? It's borderline ridiculous.

Everyone is saying is it Parra or The Roosters, when it would actually be illegal to speak to either, right now.
Taupau has come out a gazillion times and deny it, but we keep feeding all the trolls?
Why? What's wrong with you people? Are some just that simple? That bald headed tard from the DT stated something about Taupau to the Chooks weeks ago, and Taupau laughed about it a day later.
Story gets rehashed, and everyone here is all concerned again? FMD.

It's that flipping internet thing Ryan. It makes us all craaazzyy!!!

It's just so frustrating. I couldn't imagine how **** it would be for the players.

The guy who wrote the story does the bidding for Zorba. This is coming from the club to soften people up when he is released.
Ryan

Okay, that's a huge claim, please tell / show us all how you know that, and I'll share that information directly with Lyall Gorman.

What you denying Ritchie is Zorbas lap dog? Share it with the same Lyall who couldn't even tell us Barrett quit when the world new.

Marty should ask Sharkies why they didn't take over his 2018 900k Manly contract with the 500k still unspent from 2018 
Kevinward777
First Grader
Yeah, I thought it was $600k... which is decent coin, but compared to the 800k plus that some props like Tamou and that waste of space Paulo are on, it seems quite a good deal.
Holmsey
Bencher
Look it's pretty obvious he isn't happy at the club and that's fair enough. At the moment he is probably over the off field drama and the constant speculation and rumours. If he goes he goes, I like Marty and think he is an awesome player but if we are going to get upwards of 900k to spend along with some we probably already have saved it will allow us to make some key signings. Biggest now is how the fu*k can Roosters afford him?
