Martin Tapau

[jas83]

Is it just me or does this guy have the potential to have the same impact in a game as Andrew Fifta. He seems to have the X factor for a prop that can break the line and also find his way to the try line. He looks like one of our best signings for many years.

He and James Gavet provide great go forward when Woods and Galloway are off the field.

Fantastic player, 2 tries today (c'mon video ref) and was running great lines all day

Gotta bit of footwork about him and good hands

 

[tig_prmz]

He made some massive hits in defence. He inspires others alongside him as well

Very good 2 weeks running. Damaging ball runner. Also good to have a forward who is dangerous in the opposition 20\. Love his attitude.

Our forward pack today was very well balanced. Woods, Keith and Ava are our solid worker props who will take hit up after hit up. Taupau, Gavet and Sue provide that extra fire. Would love to see them all be able to stay on the park. Staggering to think guys like Fulton, Buchanan and BMM are still to come back.

This guy looks the goods and seems like his enjoying himself in 1st grade as well , the way he celebrated his try in the 2nd half with his mates seemed that way . He didn't see much of 1st grade last year at the Dogs.

I like what I've seen of him thus far.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

i would still rate fifita slightly higher - He has that monstrous fend and not to mention pace for a big boy.

Never the less , i like the aggression Kapow is showing .. Very pleasing.
Even Gavet looks hungry - real desire to take hit ups and knock people over like 10 pins.

Exactly what the Dr had ordered for 2014 folks

Loving Big Marty, can beat a man with strength, and is very mobile on top of that. Should already have 3 tries to his name for the season. Seems popular with the rest of the boys, they all seemed ecstatic when he crossed for the try, a kind of team spirit we haven't seen in a long time.

 

[Tiger_In_The_Gong]

I doubt he will ever rise to Fafita's class level but he is an excellent buy from Potter.

Taupau and Paterson are the two buys who can change our style of play in a very short time.

 

[stevetiger]

Great buy for us. Woods and Galloway are great props but when they go off we have quality players replacing them.

Taupau seems to have a lot to his game. He looks explosive.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Who heard him after he crossed for the try… "f### yeah!"

Highlight of the game for me.

 

[avocadoontoast]

Both Taupau and Gavet were great.

Seems to be our go to guy close to the line…....watch out centrebet.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

This is the type of player who would never be seen under Sheens. Powerful runner, hits the line at speed, aggressive, capable of a big hit in D. Exactly what we needed. Someone who is capable is striking fear into the opposition. The positive is that this type of player always seems to rub off on other players.

Yeah … Didn't enjoy it did he :smiley:

 

[tiger_pom]

Very pleased with his effort and attitude and looks a great signing on what we have seen so far.

 

[Tigerdave]

he was very good and unlucky to not have 2 tries, so far, a good buy

Gareth Ellis? He was a powderpuff, right?

I also think, rightly or wrongly, Sheens was hoping Blair would play this role.
