Definite starter next season after he's recovered.

Put his head down didnt he. Good tackle as well. Unlucky to get the penalty i thought. Gagai is no slouch and he had a head start.

I like him a lot. There's just something about him, where I could one day see him as a future captain of the Bulldogs of he sticks around.

WOW! What a chase! Can definitely see him being the captain for the Bulldogs if he stays with the club!

Bloody impressive. Maybe not even the best video of his. I love his last hit-up against Parra when he's basically on one ankle and still goes harder than most other forwards. What a trooper.

Iv'e seen him jump in training too. Has a very good vertical leap for a big man. Very athletic.

This the game new zealand scored 36 unanswered points?
Yep. Came back after that - he put in a couple of strong hit ups, got a penalty I think, then he scored off the next play.
Pretty much single handedly got them back in the game.

Taupau is a really nice guy in real life too. Spoke to him a few weeks ago and he is so humble for someone with what looks to be a VERY big future.

Another guy who plays a similar game to Taupau, and has impressive pace for a big guy is Tim Browne.

Watch out for him next year, because he shows all the hallmarks of a decent up and comer.

Finally Dean McGlinchy I think is another guy to watch. Big but can move.
