WOW - that is very very impressive - he will have put on some bulk since but still thats awesome
 
Dogs are a lot better at these fire sales than us…

When we need to create some cap space we volunteer to keep paying some of the players contract that is leaving (or throw a young stud into the deal to sweeten it)

Dogs need to create space (Folou signing etc) and we offer to take a contracted player off their hands and pay him double the value of his current contract

How much did we pay for him?? Do you know for a fact we payed double…....Even if we did, if he is only 150 - 200 a year, tahts a prtty good investment. This guy will only get better, just need to fix his ball handling and tackling.
 
Very very good signing. Have really liked watching this guy. Good work Tigers management.

And good stuff Martin. Welcome to our great club.
 
He has a good offload in him to what a great signing and wont be on big coin welcome to the best club in the world hope to see more signings in the comming weeks.
 
Thanks potsy! great signing!

2014 looking good, just gotta stay injury FREE. or as close as possible and we're a good chance at the 4\. Team's seasons depend greatly on injury levels. Obviously, the quality of players/coach factors in but if a team has 0 injuries in a year they're a great chance to make the 8.

So, let's invest in super qualified trainers and conditioners!

He looked pretty good in the reggies today. Seems a very good signing

yeah, he did

best prop on the field by some margin IMO

I was impressed with his work-rate, strength and agility. However, he gave away 2 extra-dumb penalties that made me shudder.
 
Heard a rumour we have signed Paul Carter from the dogs as well 3 years , son of ex Panther Steve Carter , back rower , good player , but we have thousands of them , we need a real half back

Would be happy with that signing.

If this is true re Carter happy days are not far off, good young tough player with great ball playing ability..yes the Tigers have a few back rowers but this guy has the goods!

Agree. I reckon Carter's got a bit of x-factor in him.

Taupau's gonna be exceptional for us if he stays fit and injury-free. Was underutilised at Dogs with so many others in front of him; always thought he should've been used last year more for their prop rotation than Payne. That won't be the case at WT and getting more time will make him even better!

This is one rumour I would love to be true. Saw him for the first time yesterday and he showed skill and aggeression. Would make a great addition and offers a lot that our current backrowers don't. I have fingers and toes crossed!
