Martin Taupau - Discussion Thread

[boonboon]

If Tapau goes surely we won't be paying his wages next year, or am I being naive.

No we won't . Its a different situation, if he stays here he is on a couple of hundred grand a yr from when he origionally signed, if he goes to Manly he is on 700k a year so we won't be paying anything.

I am happy if he stays especially if he is staying longer term but if he is going in 2017 and we can pick up a player or 2 for our future then mayby let him go next year is the best approach, which I imagine is where the negotiation is happening now.

In reality as many have said he will be moving back to prop for us anyway and then playing 40 minutes so I doubt he is worth that much for 40 minutes as a bench impact prop

We'll at least we have 550k for 2016, let's just hope farah retires and then we might be able to go to market, or knowing our club we will just sign a promising back on a 900k contract

How will we have 550 k available

BIG HARRY T. has gone very quite, made a huge noise some weeks back but as today not another word, i doubt he will be helping the club at all. with the wealth he has $1,000,000 per year in TPA would not put a dent in his small change, but as to date we have not heard of 1cent from him.

When they get rid of Round 13 ??

:blush: must of missed it , bloody Smith doesn't put me on his email list :brick:

And there you go again , striking while the iron is hot :deadhorse:

Degrading womens menial work again You better hope that TM doesn't read this , she'll have you guts for garters :wink:

I do all the ironing in my house….ladies blouses are my specialty the trick is to turn the iron down and start at the pleats....

Were you asleep during the DCE backflip saga...the rule was changed within a week of the backflip so that fiasco could not happen again,,,,

Why would I care about DCE ??

Manly player and isn't playing for Qld , so he is a nothing in my books

Clubs will just find another way around it Geo in 6 months time

Players will start claiming there were too stressed while making the decision

Mkay..whatever you reckon,,,you should have David Smiths' job…you are about as in touch with the game and rules as he is...

I don't think anyone can blame him if his been put off helping us out :frowning: .

When was the last time we had a Positive story at our Club ? Tedesco changing his mind and staying with us is the last one i can think off. :unamused:

Seumanufagai, Simona, Woods & Tedesco.

This club is amateur as anything. Rumours came out about Soward leaving Penrith - next day there was at least an article from Gus explaining the exact situation and squashing the rumours.

The club needs to come out, sort out this Farah fiasco for good, sort out this Taupau situation quick smart and move on.

We have a loaded man in Harry T, he's not a sponsor anymore, he loves the club - the Tigers need to get in his ear and work out a deal to restore this club to its glory days. He gets to leave a legacy. He's our go to guy. Can I keep dreaming.

Marina's partner is away at the moment. But he'll be probably making a statement on the whole Taupau situation as soon as he has time to get on to his social media Page.

He must have dumped the club if we haven't seen anything reported in the newspapers about him.

I was meaning player wise.

What's the point having the richest Sponsorship deal on our Jerseys when we can't keep players like Taupau?
Means squat to me.

 

[hobbo]

It's all or nothing with Harry T . He was peed off with the way the club treated his mate Sheens. That's why he said he'd only keep sponsoring us until we could find a new major sponsor .
If Sheens came back the money would come flooding in .

Na-nu Na-nu old friends.

the truth is somewhere in the middle of the mess that is the joint venture.
Harry is Balmain through and through.

i would go out on a limb and say that all went quiet in anticipation of the balmain development proposal.
the fact that it has been rejected is odd being that harry has some pull in those worlds.
could he know something that some jurnos have been discussing since the farah / taylor dramas….
that is ... the joint venture is on borrowed time and
the west will actually mean the west "coast of australia"

i dont believe the joint venture has worked at all but WA is not the answer.
and then theres the cashola that the tigers need to come up with by march (?) orrrrrr its D day as the maggies honchos are ready to swoop....? ? ?

anyone know what is actually going on ...

Look here is an idea in regards to Taupau out of left field

I can't speak for all , but many of us seem to be questioning whether Taupau is worth 650 K under the new rules

If we keep him for the start of 2016 and see how he copes

If he is good we have 13 rounds to try and change his mind with an offer and gazump Manly

If he is not good we can release him prior to June 1 and try and get a trade from Manly

Thoughts ??

happy…...He won't be here next year .

x2\. Given the current situation I'll be surprised ifthe club doesn't implode by round 1 next season.
