Taupau-Moors is like that old traditional lumbering front rower - big, strong, can ball play, decent motor but lumbering (slower leg speed) type. Hope the club is patient with him.

The QLD side had forwards as big and bigger than CTM---------with leg speed as well.
Don't understand how he was picked as the run on prop; but hooked after 10 min. or so and didn't return until near the end. And still did nothing? Very unimpressed----disappointed.

I think CTM's our long-term Terrell May replacement with his engine & ball playing ability.

Engine lol .....he battled to get 25 minutes .....might have taken two hit ups

Hope you're right.
But we need to shop around because the "maybe factor" may never eventuate.
Peter Taateo could be the insurance or stop gap?

Put it this way, after a serious injury at work & age taking its toll on my back which is riddled with arthritis I'm on the DSP and it gets reduced depending on my partners income. If I didn't own my own home I wouldn't have a roof over my head now.

I don't know how anyone could survive on the dole unless they live with their parents or kids, especially if they have children. I can't see why anyone would want to.

Yea, it's tough out there.

Two major unfair things in Australia:
1. Home ownership. If your a pensioner and you own your own home, you can survive. If you rent, your stuffed. It used to be a choice and it should be a choice, but now it's just a hardplace with a mortgage or a harder place.

2. Families vs single living. If your single or your two people living kidless it's easier then trying to raise a family. I know it's tough for everyone, but it is damn tough for some.

club is not letting the media control our narrative it will be announced, jake wants to be back in sydney to be closer to family

Talking about Jake’s family, maybe we could grab his sister for the NRLW!

can herbie play for nsw

Not sure if a serious question? Even if he moved to Australia before the age required (he didn’t), he moved to Qld.

Now the Wayne Pearce knocked back Folau, imagine he will knock back Manase as well?

Jury's out on that one.

So Wayne PEARCE is running the NRL……he was behind the 6again rule now this….

I heard them say on the commentary that he’s off to Brisbane next season, anyone else heard that?

Yeah, it was blocker though.

Taupau Moors should spend the off season with Terell May and do his summer fitness

 

[balmain boy]

He has had a few injuries himself … he is likely on a train and trial … so pretty much zero risk there …

I would think a train and trial is above him. Put him on a ron massey contract.

He shouldn't be training with the NRL squad. Not until he earns it

 

[balmain boy]

Not sure if already mentioned but looks like Wayne Cousins is back

View attachment 39146

But why?

 

[balmain boy]

Only watched Taupau Moors for the first time last night in Under 19 SOO but based on that he is miles from being even remotely near NRL level

He is, and that's ok. He needs the rest of the year dominating in Flegg, then very time In Cup next year and see how he goes against men after a big offseason

Hecwa

He was with the Eels last season and I think he is just returning from a 2nd ACL injury ?
He might prove to be someone we can call on to play a few NRL games for us if we keep getting injuries as he at least has a bit of height, generally safe under the high ball and his yardage carries are generally decent, but when you consider he is 27y.o and has not played any NRL for quite a long time, we could have opted for much younger, bigger, stronger and faster options who have played and done well at NRL level over the past 12 months such as James Schiller or Sione Finau.

Agreed and there is the other issue.

Flanagan was torn apart with talk of Favouritism.
Brad Arthur soon moved Jesse away.

I don't think Benji has the coaching ability anywhere near the level of Ivan Cleary to manage relatives successfully.
