Daily Telegraph/Rothfield Suia Taukeiaho

[Malla]

The excuse given was he wanted out of his contract so he could go back home for personal reasons …. why would Manly be paying part of his contract when he was the one that wanted out ? …. and didn’t he play on the Sunshine Coast with the rest of the Warriors for 1 or 2 years anyway because of Covid ?

No idea mate, I honestly don't care either.

Sounds like his body is well and truly fekked. Makes thommo look like iron man.

Lol I get it but I wouldn’t t go that far. Thommo played 1 game of Reggie’s all year

Hmmm for 500k?

With the salary cap on the rise $500k is the new $350k

1-9 all earn their coin and then ….

Thats a painful image to look at.

Can only hope that is true Uleh.
Can only hope.

 

[D.O.W.]

I’m not taking what’s being said to seriously … he needs reasons to get out of the contract he’s on to come here … there’s every chance come start of next season he’s peaking & firing on all cylinders …

I don’t think Gould’s stupid enough to pay $500k a season for a player that’s broken & won’t be able to play ..

Agree, we don’t do things blindly (Watson is case in point, the due diligence is there) - he needs to get out of a contract - he’ll say whatever is necessary to get back home

Taukieaho would be a massive inclusion in our team. The only negatives seems to be his fitness to perform,and
his asking price.

SST 5 years ago f yeah.
But the man himself has admitted he can’t do it.
Even if he backtracks ….. are we getting a 500k prop leader?
I’m convinced this is a one year deal that Gus is hapoy to use bulldogg club funds to write off year 2 as a medical retirement. He doesn’t mind using resources like this.

Great so when he is healthy he’s a good trainer? What the fuck else is there?

Thinkin the same lol.

Those only 2 issues? Big negatives

 

[hayes]

I thought the personal reasons was just the excuse they were spinning so he could get out of his contract and go and earn a lot more money playing for the Warriors ? ..

He got himself in trouble with bad influence

Careful agreeing with any of my points of view mate … the we know it all we are always right and we know everything about everything crew will be on your case …

We’re supposed to just bow, pay homage to their superior intellect, agree and move on .. if you don’t their pride gets dented and they gang up and resort to CA.

Sounds like all the more reason to do it tbh.

Nothing like stirring the pot
