You know what.... I honestly don't care.
He can be the next Andrew Johns, GREAT. Or he can be the next xxxxx.. I do not care.
I can't even care. I am that inert on the subject.
I mean I can cheer Joe O, I can even Cheer Blore if he does a big hit-up at Melbourne.
I love watching Taupau still and I will boo mitch moses and Ryan Matterson whenever they put on the striped jersey.....
Our former halfback... I just feel Nothing.

Lol . I hate to break it to you my guy , but most of the nrl are on it / were on it at some point . Young men with lost of cash , free time and love to party .
If I’m breaking news to you , then I’m sorry . But you can hold John’s to account for a million things , but getting on the nose beers and disco bikkies can’t be one . Well it can , but it doesn’t make any sense .

Who was the last origin forward to take four plus years to announce themselves as a first grader after missing more than half their games through injury? Not saying Bellamy can’t transform the kid but boy, he hasn’t set the world on fire here.

Taupau did the same thing as M&M - he broke his Tigers contract to go to Manly after we had made him a first grader!!
He signed a contract with Manly while still under contract with us - and it was exposed via Twitter because his manager sent a copy of it to the wrong email:
Canadian theatre critic reveals news Martin Taupau will change teams
Canadian theatre critic James Kelleher Nestruck has broken NRL news after receiving an email by mistake with the contract of West Tigers' star Martin Taupau's decision to join the Manly Sea Eagles
He's just a self promoting wanker who did the same thing Moses - Matterson - Aloiai have done forcing a release to a pre-determined club (but he even tried to keep it secret as his management had not formally sought a release or permission to negotiate so it was a blatant contractual breach)!
His management only approached the club for a release AFTER the Manly deal was done & exposed!
He set the trend for that sort of treacherous crap - laying the groundwork and a precedent for the likes of Matterson etc to follow...

Former Balmain coach and notorious. liked to throw stones at everyone else but lived in a glass house. Also took us from Second to last.

Look but Skando, Brett Hodges and Liam Fulton... It's different.
Leave for Super league for a few years, come back... Meh.
It's actually kinda good cheering them on in another comp/league.

John Bateman training at lock. Very interesting

Id prefer a lock that can play structure as a ball player. Bateman plays too off the cuff and gives no guidance or shape in the middle. Leaves a big gap on the edge also. Who fills that?

Haha. Who told you that he's training at lock?

My guess is Bateman will do what he did last year. Spend time on an edge and and the middle.

Samuela doesn't even play on Jhonne's edge.
Think it's more bullshit. Too many options at 13
for him to be wasted in the middle 2. Any1 that
watched England play knows what he offers.
Might be a case of players training in 2 roles.
Don't even think he's back 2 full contact yet too.

There is no story - lots of photos of street parade through penriff. Only words are from fans gushing over chin and luai.

this photo has me curious. looks to me like a right edge of Papali'i, Galvin, To'a and Staines. now I'm not locking in anything and we're still a long way away, but right edge is obviously where Bateman has always played. we might find out more in the next few weeks.
