Siosiua Taukeiaho

[The Indian]

TKO has been decent all year and even better than that on the weekend. 1 year rolling deal playing for a contract keep him motivated and he'll do a good job for us. Not getting carried away though.

When he started doing a little stutter step I was in heaven

Can we produce that level of performance consistently? That has been an issue for us. Boy I hope they can make a big run into the semis.

I think we know that won’t happen , but boy oh boy if it does wouldn’t it be magical.

Too old , too slow , too injured , too badly coached , too much friction , too much of everything

BUT, TOO ****ING GOOD

Tbh I imagine we lose TKO next year unless we upgrade him. He's shown enough to demonstrate he is still a real NRL player, and reliable experienced props are in demand. If Aloiai is forced to retire - and updates on him seem to have gone pretty quiet - I imagine we upgrade TKO.

Yep, agree. TKO was signed on minimal coin after the dogs pulled out on medical grounds (but probably had their doubts about his form coming off his Catalans sojourn). His capital has certainly increased this year.

Taukeiaho puts hand up for Tonga after NRL revival

Manly prop Siosiua Taukeiaho is pressing for a Tongan recall in the end-of-season Pacific Championships against Samoa and New Zealand.

Doesn't sound as though he's treating Manly as a retirement home. And if he is selected back into one of the strongest Test packs ... would suggest he's worth far more than we signed him for.
He's actually been an on-field leader this year. And getting better, not worse!
Sign for one more year with options, at decent coin.

Absolutely no doubt in my mind that Sio will be extended and probably for 2 years. If Matt Lodge continues with his form, I think he will be in the same boat.

What's the price of two premiership winning props???

Unless he's got big money offered I'd imagine the club was ok with letting him go. In which case there will be other plans.
