Gus caught meeting with Blake Taaffe

[DinkumDog]

One question....

Why the fuck meet in public unless you want it to get out?

Exactamundo. And look at the TK meltdown.
A day after the Tino saga I bet Gus was more than happy to throw some burley to the scribblers .

 

[spscand]

Fucks sake. Has a fluke game vs Ward and we go after him? He is beyond average.

 

[Alan79]

I honestly can't tell if those are people in the photo or mannequins.

End of the day, the current roster is a bit off the pace of contenders. Whatever changes that the staff feel the need to make will be the rope they use to swing by or hang themselves. Not every signing we make is going to be an established star, and I honestly don't think we'd get far trying to sign 17 rep players.

So assuming that we do sign the guy, at least let him have the chance to impress.

 

[Taylforth]

would be a great signing, but wtf GUS! sign a prop fuck me

Maybe we've signed a prop and Gus isn't telling us shit?

I think this is more likely. Gus is just not telling us what he is really doing,
Frankly seems to me just too easy (add odd) for Gus to be caught talking to a potential recruit in plain sight. I’m sure something (a forward) from left field will surface to surprise us all.
I still, for the moment, maintain the faith.

When he runs 60 of those metres in one run past EQW and he scores off it, who’s fault is it then ? ‍♂

You’re forgetting… he didn’t pull off those stats against the panthers or storm. He pulled off those stats against the team with the worst defence in the league… going by your logic let’s sign Tyson Gamble… and offer him the captaincy and half the leagues club too

Nothing to do with whether we should sign him or not, just saying that blaming one player because he had a great game against us is just wrong .. EQW was nowhere near 1st grade ready, but he wasn’t 100% at fault, Taaffe cut through more than just EQW on the night ..

 

[Sir dogeth style]

using the same phone the cartels use lol

 

[Shnissss]

Why is the title of the article Gus ‘caught’ meeting with Blake Taaffe. It should just be Gus meeting with Blake Taafe. Create controversy = create clicks

 

[GA45]

He's like Drinkwater but without all the good things that make Drinkwater a good player...if that makes sense lol. His decision making isn't great, anticipation isn't great, execution is sloppy. I just thinks he's an incredibly average player and I don't see him as someone that has a high ceiling. This feels like another Hayze Perham type signing.

Except Taffe actually has had good games in FG before the weekend. Hayze has Never had a good game

 

[GA45]

Im surprised Taffe didn’t get a call up to NSW after his game against us. We got Moses and Bradman picked. Freddy and Alexander must be thinking how

EQW is a top quality player on the way up. He was having his first game in FG and scored a try. Hes a big unit, a bit like Andrew Farrer.
Taafe ran past him as well as a lot of others. Strange they didnt get a mention. But EQW was trying to defend the outside when Taafe ran away from them. He showed speed when chasing Munro down the side line, and Munro is a flyer.

 

[Chris Harding]

Don’t get me wrong he’s a gun but where would we put him

He can play anywhere in the backline.

 

[Chris Harding]

I’ve seen better quality pictures of Bigfoot and Loch Ness

It's a photo of chocolates.

 

[Scoooby]

Always wanted Taaffe, great Back up or not he’s still young an be a good FB, critta to the wing an Xerri to the centres. Either way if true I am happy with this signing.

 

[Malla]

The headline should read ‘Gus doing his job’ lol what kind of bum reporting is this? They gonna report on every other GM that meets with players? What a joke. Media is a laughing stock

 

[hoody06]

Taffe has always performed in the top grade, great versatility. He would certainly strengthen our squad.

 

[bowleggedwog]

Watching NRL360 tonight, that dumb fuck pig face Crawley didn't change his tampon and started slagging off Gus about meeting up with Taaffe but only last week he said that he is trying to build within and how Des stuffed up the salary cap but yet here he is buying Sexton and Taaffe.
Hey fuckwit....Gus is right, Des did stuff our cap by buying a broken down Foran on $1million per season for 4yrs who spent 3/4 of his time on the sidelines during his stint. Add to that , signing She-Rex on $750k who did sweet fuck all and got Eastwood back from England at $800K. Comparing them to Sexton @ $$250K and possibly Taaffe for around $300k, shows you're an absolute MORON.

STFU monkey face!!

They use the build within as we shouldn't sign players. Well the dumb fucks don't get that within is for the future and signings are for now. We can't throw 18 year old halfbacks and fullbacks in now. Fucking dickheads all over FB using the same terrorcrap lines, build within, 5 year plan. Fucking Muppets run the media.

Critta to the wing lol That Covid has really fckd you round. Get well soon bro

 

[chihuahua dog]

I suspect he's a shittier or slight better version of Duffty.

Shittier? Impossible

 

[shannon2009]

I'd rather Averillo at the same price than Taffe.

Do you think taffe is worth 400k?

 

[ILiveForDib]

He’s 24, played a grand final and at the very least as a backup you can’t go wrong very valuable in that regard. Covers the situation where Critta doesn’t set the world on fire at fullback Taafe has some speed and can tune into set plays. Overly criticised by some I think his a handy player sitting behind Fatrell who can do a job and potentially could be developed by Ciraldo.
