Must have done something special to get noticed in Melbourne where your average street bum is more well known than a Storm player.

MELBOURNE has become the fourth NRL club to sack Arana Taumata in as many years, announcing the league bad boy's departure on Monday.

A talented five-eighth, Taumata was released from the club following a “physical altercation with another male'' in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Teammates Will Chambers, Dane Nielsen and Wairangi Koopu were also present at the scene, with the former two heavily sanctioned, according to a club statement.

Taumata, 20, had already been marched by Brisbane in 2006 and the Sydney Roosters in 2007 for discipline breaches and the Bulldogs last year after he allegedly broke another man's jaw in an off-field incident.

He was thought to be settling in well at Melbourne, with coach Craig Bellamy impressed by his pre-season efforts and considering promoting him to a play-making role to allow super-star Greg Inglis to move to the centres.

LOL

When will he learn. I always said he didnt deserve a 4th chance.

 

[BILLYA-BULLDOG]

Another idiot that will never learn.
Good move by moore & greenburg to let him go, imagine if still with the dogs wouldve undone all the good work done.
Enjoy the scrap heap!!!!

How dumb can someone get? Heaps of potential, but chooses to punch on instead of concentrating on his footy and making use of the talent he has.

I hope he got his ass handed to him btw.

lol... what a great effort...

when he was sacked by the Bulldogs didnt he say he was used as a scape goat because of other issues within the club... ummmm yeahhh well said TOMATO lol

 

[terrylamb4lyfe]

I saw this earlier.

Absolutely unblelieveable. You would think he would learn.

Hopefully this is the end for him and no other club picks him up. He does not deserve another chance now...

GG pissing away a good career, now go and enjoy being a brickies labourer or something on 30k per year...

 

[Rani]

He'll never learn.

There goes his NRL career.

Storm signed him on the recommendation of assistant coach Stephen Kearney, who knows his family back in New Zealand. The Storm placed him with a Maori family in Melbourne in the hope that the cultural influence would assist him in staying on the straight and narrow.

Looks like our board have certainly been vindicated selecting Moore before Kearney as coach.

Rodzilla was very vocal in bagging Greenberg for taumata sacking

some one dig up the thread

[kennyy]

[Jam]

[Rodzilla]

i apologise roddzilla

i want to hear an apology from your friend, Mr Hallucination

trying to tear down the good name of Rodzilla

 

[Bull4life]

Brandy will probably still pick him up for Penrith. Each time someone gets ousted for indescretion, Carney, Mautua, Bird - Brandy is quick to say yes we will have him, on the 2UE sports show
