taupau

[Disco]

Being discussed in rumored signings but i felt it warranted its own thread

http://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl...release-for-2016/story-e6frf3wu-1227531238623

Get it done...................exactly what we need

Side note, how big of a shambles are the Tigers

 

[BOZO]

Souths and Titans are favourites to sign him

 

[Disco]

Surely if we were to join we would be competing with souths

We need an enforcer to play as the middle forward in the backrow.........Taupau is perfect

 

[lsz]

Considering the titans have next to no one and Soufs are trying to offload more players (as well as getting rid off glenn) I would think we will struggle to get this done...if we were interested at all

 

[Briza]

Hell yeah!!! Get it done Fulton.

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

Would be a good addition, but the Titans have so much salary cap space that they could probably offer him twice as much as we could.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I'd rather him than Isaac John!!

 

[Alby]

The amount of backups for backups we have bought, I mean ffs, we could have had spares for someone like Tapau.

 

[Disco]

Where there is a will there is a way

 

[Chip and Chase]

Does he have a Youtube highlights reel ?? Can he play hooker ??

 

[Nordburg]

Think people may need to take a look at the source of this rumour.The bloke has had a "scoop" every week this season and is yet to get one right

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Exactly, we buy 5 backups and spend $200k a year on each......bingo, one top line strike forward which IS what we really need !

Some of our recent signings do have some merit: Api, Wright, Parcell.

But then there are some questionable ones: Lussick, Moltzen, Brown.
Seriously - would you not trade the 3 of those for one top line forward?

There may not be a top line forward on the market atm, but what was the rush with those 3? Brown as good as he is, there are a few that can play his style. Lussick needs a major attitude reformation.
Moltzen? Yeah I know he would've come cheap, but why slowly chip away at our cap space and lose direction of our main concern?

 

[EagleFlys]

As kapow is a Kiwi, and therefore not eligible for Country NSW selection, coupled with the fact he plays for the tigers not the riff, its unlikely our new super coach Wayne Bennet - er Barrett has ever heard of him, so I doubt he will be on the recruitment radar of the Penn Health Eagles.


But yes I am eagerly hoping this post becomes my Mavin moment.

 

[mozgrame]

Sign him up ASAP. Think about it Marty. Would you rather play for the Titans on top dollar and cop a flogging on the field, and again off it from the fans each week, or Manly at a reasonable salary.

Exactly! I would too. Welcome aboard big fella!!

 

[Simonmyers11]

Manly's recruiting is very strange? We all know we need forwards, we have let go Mason, Sao, Horo etc, signed a shi*thouse forward in Lussick and then 3 back up hookers, a few has been utility players, a couple of 18 year old's and no bloody forwards!

Manly should have been in a situation with plenty of manly to throw at him, just what manly need at lock in 2016, but we are probably maxed out on cap. Bizarre!

 

[SeaEagle21]

He has asked for a release, doesn't mean Tigs will say yes to it...

 

[JenEagle]

Yeah very strange how many hookers we keep buying.

 

[Eagles2nv]

Plenty of Manly to throw. Does that mean we chuck some of brooky at him 😉

Ha, or the Manly culture? Has to be better than that over there at Tigers
