Rothfield’s Sunday Column - Who’s the player

[1969]

Exactly.
Sorry I think taupau is rubbish. Young founa -Blake is our best prop. Taupau is hopeless always good for 3 drop balls and 3 penalties a game.

Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane.

I've read some stupid statements on Silvertails over the years, but this is the cherry on the cake!

I'm sitting here in a cafe at Newcastle Uni and someone is smoking pot.....oh wait! sorry, was there a story here?

He ran for 290m as a prop. What more do you want from the bloke?

What are you on about ironstine? I was talking about Tommy T.
Never even mentioned Marty, lay off the sauce champ, it’s only Tuesday arvo.

My apologies. Rest of the thread was talking about Marty and I thought you were too.

NRL360 Hooper has Rorters headhunting Kapow for 2019

Straight from the horses mouth here.

But sadly as we know these days contracts aren't worth the paper they are written on

True.....but neither is the paper in which gossip and innuendo is written on!

If Roosters have room in their cap to make a play for Marty, then Manly has room in their cap to keep him.

 

[ricardo]

Roosters would not have comedy capers department arranging the third party agreements though. Roosters to arrange a drug bust at JWH house and Kapow fast tracked to the city (ford). Heard it here first folks

 

[SeaEagle21]

That appeal is super important!! Losing Taupau would set us back as much if not more than not having a 5/8.

 

[tookey]

If we lose Tapau this club is totally ****ed and may as well shut up shop Our best forward by a mile

Tigers have survived without him and so will we.

Best prop in the game. Imagine our pack without him. Everything comes off the back of his charges and off loads. We would be fu#ked

 

[bob dylan]

If he goes Jake wont handle the workload and probably burn out by age 25.

I dont understand how a club can have these two and Api and we get pushed around the park every Sunday. Sure Siro is hurt but some bloke just arent digging in.

I saw glimpses on Sunday of what Thompson has to offer but we need more from him. He needs to be a leader.

To me Adin and Perrett could fall victim to the 6 interchange rule. They will need to lift their fitness and minutes dramatically or they will have to go. The game is about to change,and big time.

On Kapow - why does he run at full-speed for 29m and a metre before the defence he throws in a shimmy and loses his momentum?
And if he's the game's best off-loader why don't we have players to get these off-loads every time, rather than him throwing 8m to Mr Nobody?

A damn good player but wasted IMO.

Hooper is a farkwit and Slothfield said in his weekly online bog that it was a back.

Over the years ive seem hard charging props end up getting brain scans well before time,maybe Marty is smarter than the average prop and is managing his time in the game,he is way better than Maria and nowhere near the thug

Generally this would be done to try and hit the defensive with your shoulder between defenders so you can continue your leg drive forward and possibly get an arm free .... running straight at a couple of 115kg defenders and getting hit front on is not effective ..

At least the tigers have a 5/8

AFB played 60min the other day. He has a pretty phenomenal motor at his current size. Still very young (he's 22). I actually think he's the prototype for what will be an in demand front rower. As he matures his motor will improve. Boyd and Paulo are the type you don't want to have.
