Arana Taumata heading to North Queensland

[william_rodgers]

I dont think he will come back to us, but i would take him back for next year, probably will go to sharks or newcastle.

 

[jirskyr]

At this rate he'll play for every team in the comp within a few years.

He will be with Parra or the Panthers it would seem at this stage.

He was never happy at the Cowboys. Their entire culture is about hitting the drink and that Townsville is uber bogan central and a military town. AJ and his partner were never a good fit for the town or club

Parra would be mad not to sign him, they are in desperate need of a half.

A surprise return for the Tigers on Friday night! would that be legal?

Not in 2010, although it had happened back in the 1940's!!!. :wahoo:

I like it!

 

[Tigersmurf]

Why would the Panthers need him? They have halves coming out of every orifice don't they!

 

[Tigerdale]

wade graham has gone to the sharks for next year.

 

[southerntiger]

Surprising how many players dont adapt to NQL.

I still don't see what the fuss is about..

1\. With all the potential AJ has in the world …he just wasn't that good..
2\. It seems when things get tough or dont go his way..he bails..

Plenty more as talented but dedicated players in our lowers...

Good Luck at team 7 Arana...

We agree!
He simply overvalues himself,& is very high maintenance with modest delivery.
Personally i think bellamy at Storm will offer him a lifeline,but good luck!

This is true.

He will be at Penriff for 2011\. Will be second choice for the halves with Graham gone.

Lets see how long he can keep away from Pamfers Leagues. That place is a hot spot for drunks and other sorts of trouble.

Greg Alexander said penrith don't really see him as a half, will be interesting to see where he plays

 

[system]

I like Brandy but with Luke Walsh running the show they really need a 5/8 who can create something out of nothing. Burns offers more as a interchange hooker than at pivot but it all comes down to opinion I guess

He played primarily centre at the cows - and given the likes of Purtell and Tighe played there this year for the Pathers - I can see him possibly partnering Jennings!

They should never have let Geoff Daniela go. Despite what Brandy said, I think we'll find Elliot will use him as a half. He offers too much to play in the centres (and his defense is suspect.)
