MARTIN Taupau sent a chill down every opposition forward’s spine when he made the intimidating throat slashing gesture to Sam Thaiday in last week’s Test match but wait until you see him in action in the gym. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeevSP5ldQk
The hulking former Bulldogs forward has been a revelation for the Tigers since coming over last season and after watching this video it’s no wonder Taupau is the game’s most fearsome player.

Tapau is going to get some serious coin in 2017!

2016 will be his contract extension and upgrade , or we risk him getting offers from clubs with seemingly no cap
Get him signed up , he will be one of the best forwards for years to come

Good point. What do you think would be a fair offer to Marty at this stage of his career. $400-450k a season?

He 's done 300 kg but had a malfunction with the weights not locking in properly

I doubt the throat slitting gesture sent a chill to anyone.
His running and tackling maybe - but not a meaningless gesture.
If anyone did something like that on the field I would have laughed in their face.

He is going to have to improve on his minutes to get the real big bucks
