- Thread starter Tuiaki_Chicken_Wings
- Start date
is the same Bloke who said Tamou was a done deal with the Raiders…?
Did he name the player...Isn't that at odds with what Massoud said...so confused

IF Taupau goes I thinks that's shattering. The club needs his personality not to mention all else.

I pray they mean Kyle Lovett… I don't want to lose Lawrence. I feel like he's on track to become one of the best backrowers in the NRL.
Lawrence could very well turn out to be our Luke Lewis. He's the first back rower at the club since Ellis I've seen take those huge inside runs back into centre field and runs great lines. His defence on the edge has also been outstanding and he's always hit hard. Should've been there a long time ago.
He's been brilliant in the back row but I understand why the club may look to move him on with the salary cap. Sad, because if he does we may never see just how good he could've been for us as he just wasn't used right since his injuries.
If the club can't keep Marty though, then it's pretty pathetic. He's a superstar and our most aggressive and dominating forward. Throw him a 3 year deal. I'd be pretty devastated if he left considering that WT gave him so much opportunity. Management need to act quickly though before clubs are circling even more and push his price through the roof and we pay overs to hold onto him.

I would hate to lose Lawrence now, he has been phenomenal in the second row. Considering he has only been there for half a season it's remarkable how quickly he has adapted. With a full off season as a forward and anther 12 months on the field I don't think it's unrealistic to think he could play rep footy in the 11 or 12\. Remember he is only 26!

My money would be on Liolevave. Back to his keebra playground. Hasn't had a good season at all. And one of our few back rowers under contract for next season

"The Titans also confirmed New Zealand international backrower Zeb Taia would be joining the club on a two-year deal.
The former Parramatta and Newcastle player has spent three years in the Super League with Catalans Dragons but has been granted an early release with Dave Taylor heading in the opposite direction to join the French club." - must be after more than one….

As I said in another thread it will be Taupau for sure
Every time his name is mentioned up this side of the border that's the talk
The Titans want to make him a marquee signing and the face of the Titans , are talking 500 k +
The Titans also snapped up the other young gun half in Ash Taylor from the Broncs
This kid is the real deal , I heard Manly had him , but something obviously went wrong
Getting back to Taupau , I can't see how we will compete with that offer

My take from Dobbin made me think it is Taupau. Iirc he alluded to it being down the track (not next year) and that WT we're going to struggle to keep the player (at end of contract), rather than wanting to offload.
Taupau to the Titans makes no sense whatsoever.
We will likely lose him however, my opinion is he ends up with the Warriors or back at the Dogs.
Can't see a gun like him at the Titans unless they are that desperate to pay $1m for a prop. The Titans apart from the NRL are in more strife than the Tigers.
