Watch Marty closely, he isn’t that good anymore. Never bends the line, no off loads… turned into a bit of a cat. It will be good when he’s gone.Whilst Marty's on big $ at Manly and taking up much cap space, imo he's our no. 1 prop and I can't see how he can be adequately replaced if we lose him.
"Desperate for more fire power up front, the Cowboys could make a move to sign Manly hit-man Marty Taupau ASAP." What about our fire power up front? If we lose Marty, we lose a fair bit of fire power ourselves and how will that be replaced?
"The Sea Eagles have made it clear they won't be re-signing the big man for 2023". Perhaps there's an addendum to this - .....at the big dollars he's currently on?
If a swap deal's done, then I guess Mitch Dunn might be a possibility but I still can't see Marty being equitably replaced. One thing's for sure, Paseka, Aloiai, Keppie, Sipley are really going to have to step up.
I think when people refer to marty as a forward leader it’s more to do with his stats. I don’t really see him as being all that influential or explosive. He’s certainly no enforcer.Watch Marty closely, he isn’t that good anymore. Never bends the line, no off loads… turned into a bit of a cat. It will be good when he’s gone.
Not sure if he is totally engaged or wotnot but JT has been consistently the 3rd or 4th best forward on the field for the cows in the games i have watched over the last 12 months or so...Wouldn’t take taumalolo
Dunn is one of the few i’d take
Yeah I agree. The JT situation is an interesting one. I personally never thought he was worth the money they payed him. Don’t get me wrong he was/is as destructive a forward as any on his day but he’s always had moments of going missing. If he can get back to the form of a couple of years back he’s be valuable to any side.Not sure if he is totally engaged or wotnot but JT has been consistently the 3rd or 4th best forward on the field for the cows in the games i have watched over the last 12 months or so...
His minutes are down yet his impact is down too... injuries? Attitude? Who knows but not someone I would be chasing on that coin...
Maybe he wants to reduce it to 20?As far as JT goes.....I can't see that happening even if he is at loggerheads with TP. He's on 7 figures and playing 30 minutes. Sweet deal.
Was our biggest run metre from a forward by far in the weekend. 130m from 44 minutes of footy and 25 tackles.Watch Marty closely, he isn’t that good anymore. Never bends the line, no off loads… turned into a bit of a cat. It will be good when he’s gone.
yes... gee people have selective memories. He was good with Jake and O - the only three forwards... maybe Bullemor that had a go. Croker did in defence but sadly he is a liability in attack. Take Marty out and we have real troubles right now.Was our biggest run metre from a forward by far in the weekend. 130m from 44 minutes of footy and 25 tackles.
