Martin Taupau - Discussion Thread

[goldcoast_tiger]

Looks like the club is being destabilised deliberately …I wonder who could be doing that !

For gods sake Snake,
Give it a break!!!!

They can have him if they they take Farah aswell at full price. Otherwise don't release him.

 

[cunno]

I wonder when some good news is going to come out about the club. Talk about bad timing, I opened an email from the club about selecting automatic membership renewal for next year whilst watching nrl360 and hearing the news about Taupau, feeling very motivated ?

Farah won't leave Sydney Nathan Brown confirmed tonight even if he was interested it is a no from Farah as he won't leave Sydney.

I was just thinking this, if I were souths and seeing how much Taylor wants Robbie gone I'd be asking for a deal that includes Marty, smart move on their part if it works out that way.

Justs gets better with this club, wouldnt surprise me if more dont follow his lead.

It would be best for selfish players who have that petulant attitude to follow Farah out of the club's doors. This would allow the club to prepare for an onslaught on the player market before 2017.

Onslaught in the player market? Players would have to want to come to the club. Who in their right mind would want to come to a club that has a messed up direction and a coach that coaches the natural talents out of his players.

They would however be prepared to come to a club which has taken the brave step to build and maintain a culture where the club is not dominated by petulant players.

Petulance? Robbie being petulant for being pushed out of the club? Players speaking up in support of there captain? That's not being petulant. What i find more petulant is JT behaviour during this whole debacle.

Didn't see that. He's really limiting his options. Maybe he's holding out for a full payout then trying to find a club.

Surely the board can see that the supporters are very divided on a number of issues atm, what is disappointing is we hear nothing from this lot at all.

I am not sure when the new CEO starts but let's hope that he comes out and tries to stabilise the joint sooner rather than later.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

There's a lot of unstable rosters around at the moment
– weak teams trying to boost,
-- clubs with cap issues,
-- teams whose roster has declined rapidly (eg Souths)

You need quality bait to catch good fish- and though I'd hate to see him go, Taupau is our best bait...

Who knows, we might score a partially funded centre/backrower or both?

Will Taylor go as well and in return we get Maguire?

if this is true then I am done with this club.i go onto this forum every day hoping to hear some good news which never comes.other clubs release players mid-contract but are nowhere new the wreck that we are.i have been loyal to this club since it started but it comes a time when enough is enough….taupau is a talent, don't anybody say he is not.he is big and aggressive and the player that we need so desperately.i was talking on my mobile when the story came up nrl 360 and after hearing it I couldn't keep talking to my friend and had to say good-bye.so again and as I said a few weeks ago if we relase one of our stars mid-contract then I wont be renewing my membership.i will always follow them but via my living room.

The moment I knew JT had to be sacked was when Peter sterling and Andrew Johns was giving a critique on his coaching on the radio, how it was not good football to do 5 hit ups and a bomb. JT then rang into defend himself rather unconvincingly.

Two of the best players I have ever seen know that his tactics are wrong (anyone that knows football could see that they are wrong tactics) and instead of listen to two legends of the game and take on board their knowledge he wants to argue with them. We came second last this year and will be in the bottom three next year unless JT is punted before the season starts.

I wrote to the club stating that if he is coach next year I will not renew my membership, of course didn't get any reply form our hopeless run club.

My mail is Souths have confirmed to his manager they will take him if WT pay the full contract.
Farah is now plotting payback for the treacherous back stabbers at WT as he holds all the leverage.

I don't see him holding all the leverage. He needs a club for next year. Souths won't hold a spot for him for ever.

Farah is plotting payback…Oh dear...

if wests tigers pay the full contract of their club captain to play for another club shows how incompetent this club is….what a bloody joke

If they have to pay his full contract he'll be in our reserves.

Don't be so sure remember Farah playing Reserves for the Tigers is the worst look the club can have.
We will be the laughing stock of the NRL. Sorry I forgot we already are.

so Gallagher…do we sign a backup hooker for next year...if we do then we will have to pay him too.

Embarrassing for round 1\. Then the likes of Rothfield will move on, along with everyone else. The club has already taken the heat on this subject. It will get boring very quickly.

Probably keep Halatua I'd imagine.
